Nice build so far, need to throw that lift on and use the stock RA's for now...BTW, if you go to walmart and get a 7 gallon portable air tank from automotive (like $20), they make great OBA tanks:icon_thumby: Hope to meet and ride one day, my g/f (Brandizzle) lives right there in Henderson, so me and John (railman), and Brandizzle might swing by sometime

Last time out to TB (12-13) I was wheelin with just 2WD, as I blew my front axle, so 2 hi and 2 lo is all I had, I get pulled a few times, but did pretty good considering...believe it or not you would actually do pretty good, even with stock tires...TB is mainly gravel trails, with some mud in spots here and there, but where the mud is there is several spots to go around so it gives people different options depending on their rig...I'd wheel what you got:icon_thumby:

here is a pic of my spacers....

basically cut down a 2 1/2" 5/16" wall tubing to 1 1/4 tall and welded on a 1/4" plate with a 5/8'' hole drilled in it for the factory bolt to pass through....
