Any thoughts on my lift?

Hmm you have to get wheels and tires now.....or you can do spacers and keep your stock wheels.

Hey Joe, glad to see you made the order. Sure I'll come over the hill and help with the fridge...um bar I mean lift.Let me know.

I will bring a chair and supervise with a cooler of my favorite beverage.

Well , how bout that. Ol Schmo got a lift. Guess I will be the only stocker left.
And about that stocked fridge....hmmmm. I will stop by for lunch and check on the 'superviser' .
Well congrats ol buddy. Can't wait to install it. Should be a good time. With Josh and I telling you what to do, it will go quick.


I have go know, starting to feel a little jealous.

I have the rockhard rear bumper, tie in brackets, two gas can mounts, and a 37" bogger on a steel wheel. It is very solid. The high lift mount is great it doesnt rattle therefore it wont wear out the pins in it. I installed it last july and havent had a problem yet. I also got the third brake light that mounts in the center of the wheel. I highly recommend this bumper.

anything new?????

[Schmo]

anything new?????

Not yet . . . decided on the Rock Hard bumper/carrier . . . I figured I'd order it along with the wheels/tires this week . . . just need to find some time to make the calls and for someone (hint, hint) to hook me up with the # to call. Sent in the measurements for my driveshaft yesterday . . . that and the lift should come pretty quick so I'd better hurry up with the wheels/tires! Might look a bit funny rollin' with a 4" lift on bald 31's!

Waiting is the hardest part

Well I think that's it . . . for now anyway. Just ordered the Rock Hard Bumper/Tire Carrier and a set of 5 33" MTR's on 15" wheels . . . also ordered a Warn Diff Cover for the front. Hopefully everything will come this week, so I can start on the install this weekend! Now if I can just keep the paychecks coming . . . I'll be looking at a front bumper and winch next . . . then it'll just be down to armoring the hell out of her and I'll be set!!!

cool it's about time

So I received my new driveshaft today . . . kinda bummed though as I recevied a call regarding the Full Traction lift which was in stock when I placed the order, but is now mysteriously on back order and the ETA is the beginning of April Hopefully I'll get my diff guard and tire carrier soon so I can at least throw those on while I wait for the Lift.

Got a question for you all . . . the tag on the new driveshaft says it's 16 3/4" long . . . the measurement I took on my stock one with the 2" BB is 16 3/8". Does this sound right for a 4" Lift? I should probably mention that I measured my stock driveshaft while it was on the vehicle and the new one is 16 3/4" fully compressed and about 18.5" fully extended.

Everything minus the lift kit is here!!! The tires look huge next to my stockers It's really tempting to throw the tires on her right now! Hopefully I can get the RockHard bumper/carrier and my diff cover on this weekend and if luck is with me I'll have my lift next weekend.

One Rock Hard bumper and tire carrier installed and ready to go!!! Thanks to Rickashay for lending a hand The install overall went pretty well . . . no major mishaps, injuries, or broken items, but it was kinda tricky in a couple of spots. Getting the bolts and support plates behind the cross member was quite a thrill . . . I think that alone was a couple beers each for Rick and I! That and the nut that holds the hub together is 1 3/4 inches . . . good luck finding a wrench for that puppy . . . I couldn't even find a crescent wrench big enough but found a huge socket and 3/4" adapter which worked like a charm (20 bucks though . . . ouchy). I sure like it so far with 0 miles on it . . . looks good and tough, doesn't rattle when shaken, and has all the features I wanted...high lift mount and CB antenna mount...and a mess of add ons if I choose to put jerry cans, etc. (Yes Josh, you'll be happy to hear that the highlift is no longer on the front bumper!!!) Hopefully I'll like it as much after wheelin' with it! So I'm thinking I'll slap on the front diff guard tomorrow and if those new tires and wheels keep starin' at me I'll probably throw them on too.

Anybody know where I can find a good deal on some D Rings? I'd really like a red pair if I could find them . . . saw it in a mag and the red looked cool

[Schmo]

WOOHOO I just heard that my lift kit shipped yesterday or Wednesday!!! It's on like Donkey Kong now baby I kinda doubt it will arrive by this weekend which might be a good thing as it'll give me a chance to read over the instructions a couple of times and familiarize myself with all the parts, where they go, etc, next week. Can't wait!!!

[mrchips]

Break out a rattle can and paint them red, or yellow,,,,,,

[Schmo]

I just found out that the lift arrived today!!! Can't wait to see the final product and to hit the trails again and test out the new stuff.
