    Yea. First time takes longest. Was a pita. Done with the passenger side hole tho. Be welded up tomorrow and done.

    That said. This is not an easy project. Taken more time and effort then I thought it would. I would not recommend it for the faint of heart. Big reason why not a lot of people do it.

    Just hammer the 33s and live with it for a while.




    That said. Passenger side hole is cut. But for some reason the tire is hitting the frame on the passenger side?? Gonna have to limit the steering. It's odd it's like it turns more passenger side then driver? Like a lot more. Hole is dang near exact cut as last one. But further on other sides. Like way far into the body mount on the passenger side. Bit we didn't really touch it on the driver..

    Tubbing issues..haha

    Should be done tomorrow hopefully with an earlier start then today.

    I asked my Dad (former mechanic) about that when i was test fitting my tires with no lift, one side would rub the frame at full lock and the other side wouldn't, He said steering racks always turn more one way then the other, it has something to do with how they are designed/made.
