    I know. No one likes frontiers lol

    I tired it on my black fronty, same wheels on 31.8s and had rubbing issues. With the 32.8s it'll be worst. Most of the running occurs in places I can trim (cab pinch weld and the front airdam which I can remove).

    Are body lifts a stupid idea for a truck that's going to see a lot of off-road activity?

    Lol. Yes I had to do this with the new rear bumper.

    After seeing shortbuswilly's truck I am thinking not only will clearance be much better but overall the truck will look better too.

    Most of the info on BLs say that it is stupid for off-roading, but that is old info and basically by people who did homemade setups without the right grade hardware. I have heard some people say that it creaks a bit too. Otherwise I have no idea about BLs in general. Which is why I thought I would ask y'all, because I trust y'all's opinions.

    well.... bl are bad cause of the frame twist when wheeling. Same as if you took a metal rod and bent it back and forth. Eventually it will break off.

    Yea I lived on em through college. Yea bad news at work. Wyoming is a no go now so I don't have a job lined up after this and can't even get a straight answer from anyone about when layoffs start. We're supposed to be here 2 more weeks but theyre laying off night crew this week. That means we're gonna get cut soon too.

    No idea what Ima do now that I don't have a job lined up and could get laid off tomorrow.

    I had the next 3 months all planned out and now I have no idea what's gonna happen next week. I made a few connections while here but my connections were gonna goto Wyoming too.

    Worried level is easily a 10 on a scale of 1-10 right now.
