I'll run at the moment the RE shocks! I have 3.5RE right now! would i have any death wobbles to that 5.5RE long arm.

I would highly suggest getting an aftermarket steering setup if you currently are using the stock setup.

What aftermarket steering setup are you suggesting? Im currently running the stock steering setup on 3.5RE lift with any problems thank god!

Depends on price, personally I would run a currie setup with a goferit tie rod flip insert to run an OTN setup. There are many steering threads around here if you did some searching.

My opinion.

The 5.5 is a great kit. I run a 7.5" RE LA. The 5.5 will allow you to run 33's nicely and 35's with some minor trimming. Once you enter the 5.5+ arena, plan on putting attention to your driveshafts, transfer case, etc. You don't just bolt in a 5.5" LA kit and go. You are going to be dealing with driveline angles, pinion angels and more. I guess the bottom line is that you better plan on spending an additional $500 minimum to properly run a 5.5" LA kit, and that is if you are creative and mechanically minded. The highway ride is very nice on the LA kits.
 
Actually, I run 37's.
