If you have found them for $140 then that is the best value out there.

I am about 3/4" raised in front and 1-1/4" in the rear. Springs only no blocks or shackles.

Not into the "Fifty Shades of Grey" shackles and binders thing.

You may want to do the 6" option.

Are the 4" really that short? You didn't measure them compared to the stock line's did you?

No, but you have a little lift already and then adding 4", it's' better to have a little too much than not enough.

Good thinking, i will say my stock lines are stretched to the max when i do go off road and i cross a wash out getting to a hunting spot. So 4" lift might be a little snug for the 4" lines then.......

Smile '08 Rear bumper

Replaced the '08+ rear bumper (again) I was not completely satisfied with my first attempt.

When I found another '08+ it was about 15-20 lbs heavier and the pictures tell why.





Parking sensors not perfect and because I masked near the cover it started to peel







Aftermarket hitch cover did not release







OEM has the notches for the sensors already







Removed the cover to paint







Side by side, OEM on top







After market on top OEM bottom different skeleton/frame








Had a mark like someone left something on it to melt

All better now.
