I may have missed this but what do you intend to do about your control arms? I ran 4" lift with standard arms for while and it drove like ****. The arms ended up looking like bannanas.
Trust me you'll need a bash plate, because the more you can do the more you'll drive and you will end up breaking something

It comes with drop bracket to bring ride the same as stock.



Bit worried though that it does not come with braces for those brackets though!
You can fit the RE braces to them I have been told though and I would not run without them as the extra leverage will rip the frame brackets clean off.
Does worry me also that one pair of add-a-leafs could lift 4"? Never seen that before as most will only give 2" on their own. I take it the brackets between the coils are to lower the brakeline brackets so longer lines are not needed. Easy to do the same in the rear as well.
