    AzogSS - Everything looks great! Love the set up you've went with.

    Got a couple of questions -
    - Did you happen to measure before and after the install of the ARB? Wondering if the 885's compressed much afterwards.
    - How's the ride compared to previous set up?
    - Do you have a picture of the clearance of the tires in the fender wells? I'm wondering if you have clearance for 285's? I'd love to see a closer side picture of the clearance.

    I have the ARB sitting in the basement....snow on the ground here and without a garage. I'm waiting to order the new tires till after the ARB install. I still haven't decided between the BFG MT and AT.

    - Didn't measure before/after, but I'd say less than one inch with the bumper and AllPro skids.
    -Ride is more confident, more truck like, but not bad.
    -I will try and get pics tomorrow
    -No clearance issues what so ever, From what I've read 285's aren't a problem with this set up.
    - Put that bumper on! It wasn't bad at all!

    Good luck, can't wait to see it!
