i think your talking about the pics i just posted..... but i got stuck the one side, the suspension is all the way out and the other side its all the way up.... the side that is all the way out the tire is about 2 1/2 feet off the ground. i tryed to go through a pretty intense ditch didnt work out. hahaha

So if I want a 4-6" lift, then what are the reccomendations? And are there any that won't void the warranty?
