This is true next set of tires will prob be 35's i'm thinkin. But yeah i need to get a custum bumper made or something. I'm not planning on taking my tow hooks off..n i don't plan on cutting my valance either...so basically i might be getting a 98-00 bumper n runnin that for a while.

One problem with taking my tow hooks off would be the that my skid plate is mounted 2 the bolts so if i take them off then i'm gonna have a hell of a time putting my skid plate back on. I'll figure something out so far all i heard from everyone who did the 3in bl was either take the tow hooks off or slot the valance...and i'm really not a fan of either

heres what i did, notched the top of the frame and flipped the hooks upside down and then used 4 of the stock body mount bolts and bolted it in the rear in the stock holes then welded it also.
a few days ago i also made a custom front hitch and made some braces to make the front bumper stronger, the brackets that come with the PA kit are lame!

The 1" is pretty easy and the 3" isn't too bad but the one thing that always likes to be difficult is the 2 radiator support bolts. Anybory planning a body lift and maybe even if your not should spray down those front bolts. They like to rust into the sleeve they go through on the body mount....of course heat makes them a breeze.
