Well I did a flip kit in the rear and 2 drop springs in the fron, don't have the cash for the djm arms yet. So 2" I'd say.

you'r spose to measure from either the ground or the center of the wheel to the top of the fender all the way around and that will let us know exactly how much,
so question you plan on buying the arm's in the future? do you have the wheel's now?

remember the less side wall you have, the more you will feel every bump in the road....

If you want wide slicks, I would use a 14 or 15 inch rim about 8 to 10 wide. Slicks for 17s are gonna be cheap, and as bogus says the less sidewall the less shock absorbstion. I have a few pics of what I would ideally want.http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af172/jfive_5/rangerwheelie.jpg
