    As it sits now
    [​IMG]

    Took alittle more than 8hrs. Ive been soaking the nuts/bots with Kroil for the last week and did not have a problem. No rubbing and have a solid 1/2in from the top control arm. Also the wheels do stick out alittle further than I want, but I believe its mostly due the the type of tire. One day ill throw some flares on to hide it some.

    Thanks guys, I noticed I cannot put my skidplate back on because of the diff drop. Reading over alot of people say the DD is unnecessary, so I might take it off. Everything drives great, alittle stiff but hell its a truck not a Cadillac. I do want some fender flares, looking at Bushwacker but dont know which style. Thinking of these; http://www.autoanything.com/fender-flares/61A1981A0A0.aspx

    Another thing people seem to have alot of questions about is regearing. I have no problem getting around in my 2.7 5sp. I live in Wa. with alot of hills. I dont notice a difference.

    Apparently the diff drop is only ineffective regarding the 2nd gens, the 1st gen trucks have positive benefits.

    also check out jlees build he just put on new bushwackers

    That's funny... the Wrangler Radials you took off look tiny on your truck and looked huge to me when I put them on mine.

    So last but not least I got some bushwackers on, Im still dissapointed at the "cheap" feel of em for the price they cost, I was expecting alittle more heavy duty. Finally made it upto the mountains today and expected to have a flare crack or get busted from a rock, to my surprise they are still good to go...though time will tell. Heres some pics, truck came along way from last month.
    Oh and I found a solution to my paint problem... Cover it with mud

    I haven't noticed any rubbing, though I'm more of a trail runner, don't do any hardcore wheeling
