Still cleaning the frame. Waiting on the damn crossmember and shackle kit. Didn't get anything done this weekend. I was planning today to work on it all day. BUT........We were out in the woods last night until 6:30 in the AM. Friend blew the motor in her ranger and had to be towed over 3 miles out of the woods. Then had to come back to my house which was about 30 min away, sleep for 2 hours, load the trailer and go back to the woods. Loaded the truck up and drove an hour and a half back to her place, and then another hour back to mine. Sorry if I rambled and didnt make since, I'm pretty damn tired right now. Almost to the point when you feel drunk. I guess thats pretty bad.

Looks good! Take a grinder to that frame man. Burning it up a little lol.
You shouldn't lift it quite as high though. The tires should be in the fender wells a little bit. It'll look better that way.

If you go too big it will be borderline useless! Unless all you want to do is mudholes but that's only just a part of wheeling. The good stuff is driving up washed out river beds, rock faces, and boulder feilds. My trucks big..too big and I just wheeled the **** out of it Sunday going from 9am to after dark 6ish going from logging roads to 45degree wash outs rubbing the body the whole way, to river crossings 4 feet deep, up a trail for another 2 hours made big enough and overgrown for samari's then getting into the snow up to 10 inches at the top then back down another trail of nasty rocks!!! It was an event filled day but I had to battle low branches all day. Don't go so big just cause it looks cool!!! The real 4bys do it all. Pics to come : )

I think that is the " Still got some work to do here." phrase that I mentioned.
It might sit a little bit lower once it gets the weight on the springs, but not too much. Probably a couple of inches at most.
