ITS DONE..... for the moment

hey yall well i did my lift and i love it i got a 3 inch body lift with cheepo autozone shackles in back and a daystar leveling kit in front and it clears my 35" hankook tires the only spot it rubs is tha back of the front fender and thats hittin a bump while turning or just offroad so im thinkin loosen the body bolts and push the cab back like 3/4s on an inch? what yall think a also know as soon as i get the money im goin for a set of fiberglass fenders that are sposed to give more clearance i would post pictures of it but i don't know how to.
i took her out to sarno which is a big muddin place and everything held up great not to bad if i say so for a bunch of highschooler (actualy like 3) putting it togeather in one weekend

You move the cab you move everything back, stuff starts to bind, radiator gets close to the fan and the list goes on.

Don't forget the helping hand of a college student Send me those pics to waveripper@cfl.rr.com and I'll get em up man, or I'll just come snap some mabye, that would be easier, we should just go hit a lil offroading up and I'll take some pics then!
