Just read all 129 pages took like 3 days! You don't waste any time do ya? LoL

Truck looks awesome, nice work! I'm glad you decided to shortened the 44 it still makes the truck look stock'ish but beefed up, if you know what I mean. LoL

Also I really like those rock sliders, they look great. Keep up the great work!!!
Haha thanks man

Got the bar on and wiring done so I'll get a light output pic up soon.

the ability to choose and change spring rates is amazing. you control every aspect of how the truck rides.

Would be nice...no need for it now haha. I think if I did coil overs I would also switch to FW so I could utilize them at higher speeds and have more stability. With the narrowed axle I'm hesitant to haul super fast

Wheeled hell hole, five dollar trail and driveline hill at Fordyce so far this summer. Truck is working great. Don't have a whole of pictures but here are a few. Hopefully I can get at least one rubicon run in this season

Bought a tow rig: HO 6.7L Cummins, auto tranny, manual t-case, crew cab long bed 2500:



Plans include Carli control arms, coils, sway bar, Bilstiens, track bar, rear mini pack, Method racing Mesh matte black 18" wheels, 35x12.5 R18 Toyo mt's, cab lights, air bags, on board air and air horn, Monstaliner, and Amp power steps. Feels good to have another project going.

Link?

Mine shouldn't be very tall after the lift, most of the height will come from the 35's. It'll be perfect!

Anybody know what kind of wheels these are, can't see any logs but will check next time I take one off:



Not a fan. These need to go...20" wheels I think only look good on 37's.
