body lift eh :hmmm: ? I might wanna recommend gap gards or lift lips. They really help make it seem like u dont have that body lift. But I went to home depot instead and made me some custome ones ;)

Those are if you care about the looks, this thing has one purpose in life and that's to enjoy off road.

I only put the body lift in to clear the tires a little better, not to mention they keep the center of gravity lower then going all suspension lift.

Thanks

There have been a few changes since those pics, Now I have rock sliders, custom rear bumper (you can kind of see it in the first pic), new 33" hitech retreads MT's, and I built a set of lift shackles for the rear.

This winter plans are to remove the dash and build a tube/aluminium dash (kind of like the dessert truck) and a 4.0L swap. I already have an 8.8 and D35 but plan on swaping to a full width D44 straight axle as soon as I can find one. Gears are also a big "to do" on the list, a set of 5.13's around tax season is the current plan.
