Will it still be a daily driver? What size tires do you want to run? Do you plan on/are you opposed to a little trimming?

I would go with a Rusty's short arm 4.5 if you want to trim a little...although not required.....and a Long arm 6" lift from Rusty's if you want a comfortable ride and sick articulation!

while i love the idea here...may need to be realistic about where you're driving. 4.5" +32's = no parking garages for a DD. 3.5" +32's = tight squeeze, but at least you can do it. You won't have much room to flex with 3.5 and 32's, but since it's a DD, you won't be spending most of your time offroad either...
I can vouch for the 3.5"RE as that's exactly what i've got on mine. Only thing about it is the stiff ride. But considering they rarely drop any of their height and usually sit taller than advertised, it's a decent trade off. If i wanted a boulevard ride, i'd have gotten a caddy :wink:
I ran a 4.5 RE lift for a while on mine. It's a bumpy ride. the 3.5 would be fine just make sure you upgrade just about everything. Shocks, discos, and add in the SYE because depending on the year there's no point in lifting it then dropping the tcase.
