    It wont because it is designed for your truck. my front grill is different thus causing the gap.

    Ah, gotcha. I was thinking about the wrong thing...

    The only thing that sucks is that I won't be able to get the fog light mounting tabs welded on since I don't have the lights....

    I have round cut outs that arnt really round because of how they were cut on the CNC. i really want rigid leds for those spots i just need to cut the old out and remake them for the rigids but i might be getting rid of the bumper soon so probably not worth the time.

    Why not do SAS up front instead of those lotus'?


    People sweat by em huh? I just don't see how the boots wouldn't continue to rub through eventually...

    Because SAS is at least $4,000-$5,000 more as well as an un-driveable vehicle for quite a while. ;)

    Yup, the boots are high angle boots so the fins don't stick out as much. I haven't torn a hole in either of my boots in the over 11,000 miles I've put on my suspension. My driver side inner boot has slid upward some and that is it.

    Haha yup, I haven't done anything to my cv's except install a diff drop. That only helped with vibes really.

    What I don't get is how my driver side cv pulled the inner boot back causing it to throw grease. Yet the passenger cv, which has less weight meaning more lift, isn't ripped or leaking at all....
    Oh, nice! Haha I may just have to get a hold of you if/when I order through him... :spy:

    Not yet since he just released the manual hub version, but I hope to soon. Glen broke something like 15 axles in the two years leading up to releasing the Lotus axles. Since he installed them, he hasn't broken one yet so I really want to get some on my rig for peace of mind.
