    Not to mention the recovery gear and tools you realize that you need...and some that you just want :)

    A minor lift/leveling coming soon ... and maybe some upgraded skids...

    This thing is already more capable than I am :)

    Thanks...I was hesitant at first but I figured lift kits have come a long way and if done right there should be no issues. I don’t do any hard core off-roading just muddy fields during deer season. The fact is I love the stance and look and unless there is something new out there, a drop bracket was my only option.

    Looks Great and stance is awesome.... I am going to top out at 3 inches on Friday ... A buddy and I are doing it in his garage ( he's got a full lift and professional height garage). Mine too is for the stance. Im not going to hardcore wheel my daily driver... But Im going to explore some stuff around the country... starting at Home in NY at 4WD Farm... Then Rausch Creek in PA.... and later this summer headed to Uwharrie in NC.... Next year will be my big tour of the midwest.... Moab is on the bucket list :)

    One thing we don’t have here in west central Illinois... mountains and 4x4 riding trails. All of the land around here is pretty much tied up for deer hunting. The ones who don’t hunt have there land leased out to other hunters and outfitters.
