    Ill post again after some driving. Net lift numbers are around 3" in the front and 2" in the rear before settling. I have the 5100s one notch above the lowest ring.

    Tires cam early so the side shot is with them on. Should be about another 0.5" of ground clearance with them on.

    Nicely done and good location...I like it better than where I put mine (on the rail):

    So clean of an install. I've been considering a fire extinguisher. Would help with some camping safety if I never even need it for the vehicle. Nice job.

    Check on the SPC upper control arms. I was told not to use the ball joint type with my Kings.

    RDJ Fender Flares (Textured): Good overall "middle of the road" product. The installation takes a good amount of time for a bolt on and elbow grease on both the weatherstripping (2 hours) and the mounts (1 hour) but overall is not overly technical. Need good lighting source and a helper would have been nice when pressing on truck. Overall fit was fine...the provided screws are completely useless, but the factory screws are fine. Primary reason I chose these was to increase wheel well clearance post lift where the mud flaps used to be, but once installed I also really like the look too.

    Love that roll bar setup, looked at your photos and saw it was a custom build. Do you thing they company you had build it could build another one just like it?

    It’s not that difficult actually. Keep them in the house for a day or two and it loosens up the leather. Then take them out and they should pull right over. I’d bring your headrest inside and install those while you are watching tv one night. No biggie. You’ll love them once they are installed and look OEM! Great gift

    I don't actually recall how I got it on there (I've had the compressor for quite a while). Maybe I temporarily removed the black cover. Or just had a thin enough wrench. Who knows... o_O

    Yes. Contact Wade at Sterling. He has several options on “stock” but all are made to order so you can customize as well.

    Heck yes! I think the only thing i would want to add is a small light bar to lift the lights into the air about 3 to 4 inches.
