    Why? Your foot don't fit between the slider and the lower panel?

    Lots of people do it to help clear bigger tires.

    If you were going 35s then I'd say do it without a doubt

    I do have flintstone feet. Looks basically not going taller than what I have tire wise.
    not planning on 35s just a little more height love the silver bricks stance

    :D Yeah the ditch lights went on almost immediately after a trip to the PINS in which I ran over a large piece of drift wood that I never saw off to the side of the truck. They have been fantastic for daily use also since I drive in every morning on FM 969 before the sun comes up and see so much wildlife hanging out on the shoulder of the road. Just to make it clear, I never have them on when on coming vehicles approach. I talked with a Travis County Sheriff about them and he said he doesn't have a problem with me using them out by where I live for this reason and that i'm aware to turn them off to oncoming traffic.

    The only other lights i'll be adding down the line are some amber lights to the rear bumper for visibility to vehicles behind me.

    I know went for my first ride since he got icons made me smack my head but couldn’t afford everything I wanted to upgrade with them. But we did get a little air I think was able to get the tire to rub the arb. Also he chauffeured me in the T4R such a smooth riding rig no dirtride in that one.

    Median lifts are the most cost effective...

    Man those were some good times!

    Hoping COTA is true to their word and brings out the flex ramps!

    Also, I'm going to ask them for a BIG ASS FAN in our area too

    I've used my ditch lights on road once to blind a guy who thought that tailgating me and their brights in my rear view mirror was a good idea. I got over a lane and when he got next to me he got a face full of light. He stopped being an ass after that and exited.
