The Biggest Little Parts house in the Carolinas.........

Yeah it is 6" all spring lift along with a set of 35x12.5R15 X Terrains and a set of Alcoa Rims. I am really happy the way it looks now. I will miss the tight cornering but I think I can bear with it for a while.

Might go to the mall tomorrow and try it out on some of the harshest terrain, the parking stops...........

It is a little challenging building 2 rigs at the same time. I have had more focus on teh truck the past few months to get it running to get my butt back and forth to work. As soon as I get a big enough group over here on the weekend, more progress will be made on the rig.

Not yet. I spied the front Driveshaft today and it will need to be clearanced just a tad to keep from vibrating. The rear does have a set of shims in it. Look to be about 5* or so. Going to order a set of ezero rates with the angle milled in it to level it out.

It did make a big difference in appearance. I think I could double my money out of it as it sits now.
