    Hurricane, UT area. It looks cool, but is hella XC. Lots of fun rock challenges though.

    Other parts of the trail:

    You're going to stick way out. I fill out my +4 fiberglass with a +2 kit and 315 tires and 4.5" BS wheel. You'll probably have to trim them, so you don't smash them.

    I am running the 3” trailer products fenders, +3.5” LT kit, 315/75/16 tires and wheels with an effective 3.5” backspace in these pictures. Tires barely, and I mean barely rub the fenders.

    Definitely stick with the 3.5kit and see how they do. You’re only on 33” tires correct? What backspacing on your wheels? My guess is you should be ok. Maybe minor trimming.

    You said your glass is only 2” wider than oem so you may need to trim it some, but I am doubtful with only a 285/75/16.

    And my vote is still the +3.5 kit. For minimal cost difference between it and the +2 you will double your gain in travel

    Haha pretty much this! Aftermarket wheels add a lot of width surprisingly.

    Agreed on the 3.5...as we all know...you will want a new rear end after you convert the front. That tc sua just won’t compare meng, but don’t let that ish deter you @jeff b.

    If you never take a ride in or hang around a linked truck you’ll never have the urge to need to go that route. Or you can be like me that screwed my self by riding along with @dirtaddictions old truck like 3 weeks after installing my front LT and the week after I ordered my dmz spring under. My build wasn’t even done and I knew I needed more lol

    I doubt you will break anything, but as Ryan suggested...dont ride in a truck with an LT sua or else you will probably want more.

    I installed my kings and then got a ride around some local trails in a 800 class truck a month later. Ruined it for me ever since.

    Go on.... I’ve low key wanted a Baja bug for a while now. Seems like you can buy them decently built up for less then 10k and have a fuck ton of fun

    Pretty nasty rig man, not sure how it is for rock stuff. Could be worth seeing if you can handle that enclosed space all the time coming from a truck.

    That's really sweet. Been talking to the owner of this one, needs a pressure relief valve/spring replaced, the axles and brake lines reinstalled. Guy said he would do $4,000. Fun little project potentially

    Time for an intervention. It’s not his lady friend holding him back, so no excuses.
