I can run a set of 42's with mine right now with XJ 3" coils...I do not know what you are really are getting at size wise. Can't wait to see pictures of it though.

Remember when you swap away from the TTB the coils will give a different amount of lift. How much lift do you think you will need? With 4.5-5" of lift I can run a 42" just fine...

I don't understand how you cannot clear 42's now...

They would cost just as much as getting proper leafs which don't have all of the negatives. Tacked in place or not they still come out pretty easily.

They can. And its not as prone to breaking. Its that much more stress on those ubolts and a block that big is gunna want to fly its ass out of there.
