nice! should look pretty good. your gonna want to crank those coilovers a bit to fit those 36s. my buddy had 36 IROCs on his 7" lifted chevy, and they HUM. so be prepared for some road noise lol.

I'm hoping you have a 4x4, but I can't wait to see the install. It's going to look great, 35-36" tires look great on 20's...37's...ehh, not so much anymore :[

is your lift kit coming with 4x4 coils or 4x2 coils? the 4x2 coils are about 1" shorter than 4x4 coils when stock...that may translate across to the aftermarket as well

if there is a difference, I suggest you get the 4x4 coils to get an extra 1" of lift
