Double Lifted!

spent the last 2 days working on the truck. (on and off). did the ball joints, UCA's, wheel bearings, and of course spindles. im so happy with how it turned out. my truck is sooo high! time for a regeared 8.8 and 35s!






next to my dads JK, lifted on 35s


still gotta throw my lift shackles back in, i want the cali lean, just not that much.

looks like the back needs to come up a little more.
well i see you said that now. but cali lean is stupid. you should want it perfectly level.

truck is looking good though. what are you geared to now? and what do you want to go to?

Looks great. So you have a 3" body lift and 3" spindles. Still have the spacer in there? That it?

32's look good too! I'd definitely rock that.

Makes me less hesitant to lift another 2.5" while keeping my 32's hahaha

I've had it happen before! It blows. I got red in the face for sure. Ready to snap on somebody.

P.S. So you have me confused. Your going to have a full time locker in it...So always engaged, might as well be a welded diff locker? I'm guessing I have this wrong right? I hope. Morgan, you have me stumped. lol

The chirping around noise while your turning is cool for a little bit but man...lol
