Like the damage repair? This thing is bone stock inside and out except for the different factory wheels i put on it!

What kind of damage did it previously have?

Ok...i have done some resrarch on this site and elsewhere and i just wanted to clarify this before i start modding...

With 2-3" shackles and 2" TT, the largest 16" tire i will be able to clear a 265/75/R16....in inches, thats 31.8" tall and and 10.43" wide....is this the largest tire i will be able to clear without trimming or more susp lift?

It was hit in the front on the drivers side by a small car at 35mph or so...airbags did not deploy...the frame was slightly bent in front of where the suspension meets the frame...the radiator support was bent back a bit...the fender, bumper cover, grille, corner lens, and fog light on the drivers side were all damaged...everything but the corner lens, and fog light was replaced/repaired and painted by a well known shop here in town...it passed inspection by KS hiway patroll and deemed road worthy...
