I have the SAWs cranked to 24.25 inches, Fox Shocks, and I had the Samco shackles. I took the Samco shackles off and put in some tuff country add-a-leafs. Now I want to get the tuff country front lift, which means I will need to go with longer shocks all around. So, while I have the front end apart I will have to swap in the CI front diff housing, and ARB is coming out with a front locker soon... I guess while I have it apart I will go with the Bulletproof tie rods. I have American Racing Chamber teflon wheels which are 4.5 inches of backspacing (they are machined to fit over the front hubs). They are 16x8 and I am running BFG Mud T/A 35's. Tuff Country says 4.5 inches of backspacing will work. From what I hear, you need to go larger than 16 inch wheels to use the Rancho lift. As you can see there are many ways to go on this.... Spacers are supposed to put additional stress on the front end, so I would suggest you think about that one some more. Good luck and post pictures whichever way you go!!
