Its not really that tall just looks huge cause it towers the 35's with the fenders cut its really stable also. the boggers ride like crap so i took them off. and i would move the bumper up but it is legal height acording to law with them how they are so there stayin

is the bumper law that it can't be higher than X measured from the top or the bottom, because if it were bottom, move the bumper back up, and add a 2" piece of tubing or something to the bottom...

if it's top, gap guard it

looks sick though!

Ya when i but the bedsides on they were the exact same height measured from the floor and frame so the floor must be off level i decided to just match the body lines instead.

Ya i probably wont run a doubler just end up regearing to 5.13.

And bumper law is to the bottom if i do move it up i will loose alot of support from the bumper so im just gonna leave it until i make a new one.

And im goin to the dunes may 21 for senior skip day.
