Well I got it back from the Shop on Wednesday but have been super busy. So here she is. The first one is with the factory boards still on.

Rancho 4in Lift
RS9000XL Shocks
Fuel Hostage 20X9 Wheels
Nitto Trail Grappler MT 35X12.50
KC Light Bar
KC Slimlites (Driving and Long Range)
NFAB Steps

Next...The mirror reflectors are on their way out. Didnt bother me before but now its pretty bad.

But pictures just do not do these things justice.

When installing my Rancho lift, I noticed that both front and rear suspension droop is limited by the shocks which I think in general is not a good practice for life of the shock piston. Has anyone done anything about this, such as adding limiting straps? I don't have a lot of miles since installation, but have noticed that the front suspension "clunks" when extended, such as driving over a ledge. My assumption is this is the strut bottoming out on the piston at full extension. During normal road driving when the suspension is not reaching full extension the ride is great.

Anyone else notice this and if so, what fixes are out there to remedy?

It looks great. What offset did you go with on your wheels?

I just ordered my kit from pcs custom. They went up $200($2044 shipped). The lady called me to get some info and I asked her why the price increase and she said it been wrong for a while and she was losing money on the kits. Even with the increase its still the cheapest I could find.

Still a decent price from what I've seen. I'm definitely glad I got mine when they were still $1764 shipped. What are your plans for wheels and tires?

Gonna stick with my stock fx 20" wheels and 33's for now but when they wear out probably go with some XD wheels and 35's.
