35's and 17" ballistic jesters
My turning radius is terrible and can only turn the wheel 1 and 1/4 turns without rubbing

 

where are you rubbing ?

 

Looks good! Now you gotta get to choppin. Did you beat back the body mount & that pinch weld? I can't remember what else is required (obviously your front bumper should be no problemo.)

 

Cab mount

Slapps cleaned out my wheel wells with a cab mount chop and pinch weld mod and I still rub quite a bit lol

 

Can you get some pic's I want to do 35's so I want to see how much I will need to beat things in to get them to fit

 

Ill take some soon
Do you plan on cutting your fenders also?

 

Blacktacoma, The spot you took pictures looks super familiar! Are you... somewhere in glenwood?

 

Royston.

 

Nice!!

 

Evans & Monaco

 

any one on here have a aftermarket ifs skid i wana take a look at it so i can make one i still have a bit of 3/16th left over i wana see how it fits and how they did the mounts

 

best picture I have.

I used stock mounting locations. In the back I basically just welded 1" washers to give the skid plate the clearance

 

you dont have any side coverage? and how does it sit on the truck any way to get more clearance out of it?
sorry bout all the questions too

 

after I finished the plate I welded some 1/8th" flat stock at an angle to keep the dirt out.

When you make yours, you're going to have to make the mounts tall enough to clear the front diff because it hangs down a little. Make sure you have that clearance before worrying about the ground clearance.

Also you'll have to get the angle of the front section so that it meets up with the cross member thingy behind the bumper. There are already holes there and you can turn them into more mounting locations (I would have done that if I wasn't so lazy). But other than that it's a pretty straight forward project/end product

 

forsure gota be super easy and i no about the diff hanging low and making clearance for that i was just asking if there is a way to make it so there is more clearnce after said and done some special trick or something lol other than that i its prob a hr job its gona take me longer to get the old one off because one of the bolts is striped out haha did you recess your bolts so they dont get worn down from the rock rash like my stock ones are?
