Thanks Zack. The hight is around the same as when I had my super lift. Maybe a inch to 2 inches higher. So she is definatly going to be going upwards in the next few days.


I am running jeep grand Cherokee springs. 5.5 inches of lift. But the shock towers are adjustable.... so once I get some longer ubolts for the back I will lift the front.

I like the idea of low CG.....but if it were me and I had your truck, the front's definately gotta come up and I'd be hacking fender until next week. You're already well aware of the uptravel issues so I look forward to seeing what you come up with for getting some more clearence. Actually, I look forward to the rest of the build. It'll sure be one to watch and see.



but....

are my eyes decieving me??

Is this another FoxyFord build???

I meant that in no disrespect, but is the axle centered? That little turn angle won't make the axle look that much off center.

Sorry. Did not read the part after the pic. No the Diff is not centered. It is in the dame location as the stock Diff would have been.

Those are 35's, I would love to start cutting like crazy but I already did a little trimming and the bumper is sold. So anymore and it will look stupid.

LOL!

Dude...I'm not THAT stupid. Durrr.....it's a driver drop axle to match the tcase. I know that. I'm not a noob. I'm talking the whole axle.....is it centered to the frame of the truck?? Axle centerline in-line with the center of the distance between the frame rails????

To me, the entire axle looks about 2-3" off center.

If you look at the license plate, it is not centered either. it's just the angle of the shot in respect to where he was standing when it took it..
