    I haven't plated mine off yet. I still have to cut more out of it too and will probably just leave it open for the summer.

    Yeah, my cut looks awful but its not super easy to get with a grinder. My sliders got in the way a lot. I am hoping a friend can clean it up before I weld a plate on...if I ever do.

    So I have to drive a ways to swap out... Will I need to do any chopping or modding just to drive back with them?

    That's what I was thinking, when you guys said CMC I was surprised that the width increase would make it necessary. Sure for offroading it's nice not to rub, but he could get by without it for a bit :p

    I think the only reason I haven't hit my cab mount is my front springs are so god damn stiff... Sometime I'll fix that ;)

    I mean cab mount chop looks easy enough...PITA but easy enough lol

    last stupid question after the cbc how will it be wheeling? when i flex and full lock and all on tight trails?

    My battle right now is im happy with my current setup but how the hell do i turn down the bad assery of grapplers?? and 33's at that. Hopefully my 4 little squirrels under the hood dont hate me to much going down the highway lol

    Towed around a water trailer today with 400 gallons of water...only squatted a little for 3800lbs and pulled quite well around the jobsite. Got on the highway with just the trailer and i could barely feel it

    Uh ya...they super tiny! And you are doing a low angle shot which can help make them look bigger. Time to jump up in size!

    Call any off road shop they will tell you that you will have to. Pm me and I'll show you what I had to chop ill shoot you my cell and text you pics.

    The guy at discount tire said it would and I laughed at him and said ok try it buddy. When they went to pull my truck out it only did a quater turn. Trust me you can drive on it but the turning will only be a quarter turn if that .

    Kase drove with 315's and no cutting. I had pretty CMC and was fine for street driving. I took a bit off with the tire shops grinder and had to trim the inside of the fender to avoid rubbing every turn. Its really not a big deal man and you will be able to drive home. If you have a dremel take it with you along with some cut off disks in case you barely touch the fender or bumper.

    Yeah, you'll be able to drive home no problem. If it rubs a bit that's what the tools are for back home ;)

    Trade up and never look back :thumbsup:
