    Haha, ya, at least a couple, your order is all the hard parts, the front bumpers get slammed like cheap screen doors, hi-clearance and roof racks are the slowest moving ones. Another fabricator coming on board starting Monday though so things are looking up

    DO your tires rub at all?

    Oh yes they rub :eek: I have a small cab mount chop done, and trimmed the inner fender and flare. It's not as bad now considering my tires are worn down and are sitting at like 30% tread. Before I get new rubber I definitely need to chop some more, and flatten the pinch weld. Also one of the main reasons I haven't gone with tubular UCA's, afraid they'll move the tire back even closer to the firewall. Really don't want to deal with the heim joints, will be hard to find a competent alignment shop willing to work with me on those adjustments since they're so involved.

    I might as well be on 33s and I'm rubbing still .the 35's look much better and give you more ground clearance :)

    Love all the 6"+ lifts, but don't think I could bring myself to hack up the frame or deal with a rough ride. The truck is going to be used for camping and hauling stuff in the bed, and I'm no spring chicken to be climbing up onto a tailgate 4'+ off the ground. :p

    Aaron, how did you secure your D2's by the windshield? I got some in the Same location too but I'm afraid someone will steal them so i take them off until i hit the Trails again.

    I've just have them bolted on, you get security bolts but honestly I'd rather them just take them then destroy stuff while taking them anyways...most people don't realize the expense of these and if they do they're usually fellow enthusiasts that you'd hope wouldn't steal...

    My buddy had a 12 Tacoma DCLB and a BDS 6" lift. His ride wasn't rough at all. The bigger tires gave it a slightly different feel than stock but nothing outrages. I'm going with a mid travel Coil over system but if I did the 6" thing I would go BDS like he did.
