with your mechanical skills, plus a couple buddies, you'll have it done in a few hours. DO IT! what do you think about a 3" body on mine? i'm considering it instead of shelling out the bucks for a suspension lift. but i don't really wanna lose my front tow hooks...

i think a BL is good cuz its cheap, but ur losing the hooks, unless u could do some fabbed stuff to keep them. a susp lift would improve your trucks flexing tho and thats even better

running on a 100% is way more important lol remember that the hooks work better if attached to the frame. scotty j has a 3" bl and a custom winch mount with hooks, so prolly u could fab up a semi brush guard/ bull bar for the hooks. that way u could get to remove the blingy bumper any wheel travel is appreciated with IFS lol, so gettin a bit more would be good too. its your call man

ya talking bout something somewhat like this badass thing on my uncle's jeep?
![]() i don't know if you can tell, but on either side of the grille guard part, there are hooks, plus the two clevis' underneath. and any excuse would be a good one to get rid of the blingy bumper, i hate that damn thing
