    I didn't examine everything but the brake lines were maxing out as well as steering, upper uniballs and probably lowers but i snapped a quick pic and brought it back down.

    Not sure exactly but it looks like a monster! I have camburg spindles and about 1" of actual preload on the coilovers and i don't know exactly how much that comes out to when you measure the lift but when im done the arms will be flat and it will sit a little wider.

    Why is there a gap between your bumper and tail light? is something bending or is it just the way it mounted up when first installed?

    That gap is normal with that style bumper. And take into consideration on how much these frames can flex. I have score marks on the back of my cab from where the bed touches when the frame is flexing when im rockcrawling my junk on the trails.

    Swap Springs, eventually ditch the buckets but can't afford it right now.
    If i go any lower on the preload the springs become loose so I need longer ones for sure.
