    @ Jkilpatrick357 Are these photos stock (w/o a lift)? Trying to figure out what the largest tire size that will work w/o a lift for an OR.

    Those predator steps must decrease clearance by at least another 2" but I guess if not doing much OR'ing it wouldn't matter

    Anyone that is going to toss their air dam, private message me, I'm interested in buying it. I'm located in Michigan, so unless your close, it would need to be shipped.

    You're the 1000th person to ask that same question. Not literally.

    It'd be more like 10,000th if literal.
