    It's the low profile box. Model# is 73215002
    Really nice box for the price!

    Thanks, I’ll check it out. Need to make sure there’s enough clearance since I got a drop in bed liner.

    You should be ok. I still had a little wiggle room.

    That's a nice looking box. I like the Kobalt, especially for the price. I've got my eye on the side boxes though.

    Yeah, it's actually made by Better Built. Just has the Kobalt badge riveted to the front. I'm very happy with it.

    Tried to replace my rear main seal but it needs some special shaft type seal puller. Ordered one off Amazon Prime and I'm getting it tomorrow. Tried a pick but that's in there good.

    Front drivetrain is going in now.

    You were running the Duratracs on SCS 16" F5's with 3.5" BS right? How was rubbing?

    Okay, I have a weird problem. I'm testing the front diff and manual hubs to see if I assembled them correctly. There is no transfer case OR front left steering knuckle connected, only the front right. When I turn the driveshaft flange and the manual hub is in LOCK, the wheel hub doesn't move. It's like it's not getting any power. Any ideas?

    Yup. Without a pinch weld mod and some trimming of the fender flares, it rubbed pretty good. After those mods, nice and clear around town. Although, it would still rub the frame at full lock mostly when backing up. I'd get some rubbing when off road in certain situations (full lock/compression) as well but it wasn't much.

    Nothing like the frame rub I was getting with my Volks (4.5" BS) and the K02's (295 instead of 285). Part of the reason why I didn't really take it off road as much with this setup.
