I think I will be installing some air bags in the future to keep the back end up when towing. One of the main reasons I did not use a 6" Fabtech is they always look saggy in the rear. Easily fixable though.

There is a power difference. Not as much as people have made it out to be, from reading posts. You just push the GO pedal down a little more. I have not had my spedo recalibrated nor do I have a chip/programmer in the truck. I think I will wait until my warranty is closer to being expired. I also notice the angle of the truck makes it look level or slightly out of level. When that picture was taken I had my 4 factory tires and rims in the truck. I am going to install airbags for towing purposes and it will also help with the slight sag with a load on. I will post some pics of my trim job when I get back from FL... on vacation now. I am thinking I might have a slightly wider tire??? - 12.5" I believe my backspacing is also +10. I think they are exactly the same rim. They do stick out a little past my factory flares.
There is plenty of room for 35"s. I did not trim at all then when they realigned my front end after a week of driving I had to trim a little. Approaches on entrances rubbed slightly and I did not want to rip the little air damn off with those nobby tires.
I also have the Bilstein shocks shocks in the rear and factory fronts. I figured I would replace the factory shocks when they wear out and save some $ - they work well.

I am considering the superlift as well. I like the way that the 4.5" lifts the truck up nice around 33's. I have an AS right now with my 33's and I had to do some trimming on the inside fenderwell to let the tires clear. I was wondering if I would still have clearance issues with the lift. I have the moto metal's 951 with -12 (4.53) offset and Procomp Xtreme AT's that are 33x13.50.... What do you think??

My wheels are 18x9, +10 offset, 5.4 backspace, and the tires are
33x12.5R18. My tires are pretty much even with the outside of the fender flares. I have more than enough room. Your wheels and tires are going to stick out about 1 1/4"(10mm+12mm+1/2")further than mine. I still think you should be fine if you stay with 33's. Superlift doesn't increase front track width. Many people with 4" lifts have 35's with minor trimming. Your set up will probably look more aggressive with the wider stance. Do a search for rancho and superlift to see what other tire/wheel combo others have. Hope this helps.
