Anyone have 4k they wanna give me?

hahaha, so Im pretty sure im gonna go with the 6inch fabtech for the lift, go with 35" by 12.50 MT Baja Claws on pro comp wheels, around $4000 lol. But with the tires, what do you think I should change my gears to? and would that be a job that someone like me to be able to do? Id like to say im decent at mechanic **** but im just wondering. Plus on top of that I was thinking about a 3 inch body lift. What are everyones thoughts on BLs? Good? Bad?

4.56 for the gears, and no..pay someone that knows what they are doing. setting up a rear is more than just nuts and bolts.

35s and 4.56 or if you bl then 37/38 with 4.88 and install will be about 1500 total with parts for a 4x4 or around 800 for 4x2

If someone's handing out DOE I need to get in line!! All I want is a new set of Nitto's though... And MAYBE some rims.

only thing I have against BL's are the material the spacers are made out of.. good material shouldnt give you and problems... older kits though, lots of squeeking and pucks just not holding up. I'm sure the newer ones are better quality though.

tarajerame, yeah I thought that was going to be a definet thing i gotta do. If i bought the gears for both front and back how much do you think that would cost around. I have an idea of how to do the back. since I know a guy thats good with that crap that could help. But idk how the front would go.
