    Nope. I guess the one positive to it is that I'll probably get a little comp time when it's all over with.



    Instead of complaining about it today, I went and bought a new Trasharoo! Sold my Olive Green one since I wanted a black one. Sometimes it's the small things that brighten a day. :)

    Got all of my stuff for my rear shock relocation.

    ubolt flip kit
    Ruffstuff paired shock tabs
    Axle relocation plates
    and one other item........................



    ......GASP! a 1" BL from 4crawler. I will still be trimming a bit for the new tires but this should help a little to reduce the amount of trimming necessary.

    Yeah I really don't think the gaps will be noticeable because I kept everything really tight to the body when I built it. But yeah, Some small adjustments shouldn't be hard.

    Only one that might needs some tweaking is the sliders. But that's an easy one, just cut off and reweld higher on the frame plates.

    Pretty soon he will have RBP and Metal Mullisha stickers all over his ride :D:D

    I dont think a 1'' BL will be that noticeable.

    Your already trimming what's the difference to trim more? At least in trimming you will never ever have to worry about your 1" pucks pushing thru your cab.

    Most body lift pucks from well known manufactures have the same surface area as the stock body mount (usually ~2.5"-3" diameter); therefore, there's no difference from the cab sitting on top of the stock body mount vs. sitting on top of the 1" puck.

    That being the case, why would you worry about the puck pushing through your cab?

    The 4crawler BL has long had the reputation of being the best choice as far as BL go.

    No reason for everyone to get all up in arms over it. It's not even installed yet. I still need to pull my coilovers and stuff the front suspension and see what needs to be trimmed. I'm not rubbing badly as it is but I'm also not looking to do major surgery on it yet.

    More than the suspension the 1" BL will also help with my bumpers. My tailgate makes contact with the top of my rear bumper when the tailgate is open. And the grill makes contact with the top plates of my front bumper when the body flexes. When I built the rear bumper and added the top plates, I purposely built them as tight as I could to the body but over time it has proven to be a little too tight. So the extra inch will give me a little clearance at the bumpers that will be easier than refabbing bumper mounts.

    I don't think so. The rear bedsides won't need any rework no matter what. Sliders......well I'll just have to see. But yeah, it is what it is.








    ......but since you hinted at it earlier, one step closer to 35's. ;)
