Next upgrades are airraid intake exhaust anf tuner then gears. Then possinly a body lift like 3 inches i want it little taller.

Ok got the alignment done and took the guy 15min to do it. He said never seen anyone come in and have it that close to aligned without a machine. I was impressed.

The chrome door handles are all the emblems are getting blacked out along with the headlights and taulights smokef out ill update pics as i get this progress done.

Nice truck and nice lift you got. My truck has the same 6 inch rcx lift plus 3 inch body and a 1 inch stock block and I'm on 37s 13.50 and I don't rub at all.

Hey can post a pic of the 1inch block in the back i think that will make my truck sit perfectly level.

Think im doing 4.88 gears next the gears are way to tall right now but im sure i can live with it for a while.

Ill post more pics today of the trimming and such. With be conscious around corners didnt rub driving around yesterday. Got one very random pop sound on certain uneven pavement ill figure it out today.

i have a 6" rough country. i hate it as far as it not being a true 6" lift. but i have a 1" daystar spacer on it and a 1" block added in the back. my setup gives me a little over 7 1/2" in the front. i have 37/1350/18 mud grapplers. any mild flex when the tires arent straight and it rubs, and i have done alot of trimming. it doesnt touch in the front of the fenderwell because of the aftermarket bumper. but in the rear of the fenderwell it hits. i tore off that little plastic piece under the fender pulling out of a parking lot the other day. sometime in the next year i am gonna long travel and possibly go back to 35's. i have 4.56 gears so that would be lower for the 35's anyways.
