well it is almost done. the only thing left is the front gears and they are gettin done this up coming sat.(05/20/06) then i am gonna get shocks. i am still running the same size shocks that i was running with the 5.5inch lift and 33's. not sure what size shocks i need but i will figure that out sat. i had to have a drive shaft made and extended four inches. that cost about 160 more that i had planned.

clearance is lookin good for now. depending how far it flexes up and the turn of the tire on the rub.

Looks badass dude, how do you feel about the width? whats your backspacing. Let us know how it rides. How do you like the look of your tires?

Wow, no wonder you ended up with so much lift. Those coil buckets are mounted very low.

Looks real good though. Those rims are probably 15x7 right? When are you gonna paint it.
