    I would advise having them mounted and balanced before the CMC. That way you can check clearance everywhere when you mount.

    The rear is just as good as the front! All his stuff is all the highest quality! The clearnace gains and approach angle help a lot offroad. With the high clearance and the optional bedside bars you get a ton of protection for anything offroad and anyone onroad..

    Hey how much lift did you get with 885 coils? Since I have the same bumper, I'm curious.

    Also, how heavy is Billy's rear bumper? Im adding a standard bumper with a swongout carrier and still want to be level with my aal. Right now I have like .5" of rake.

    Do you have a full set of dakars or did you take any leafs out?

    Nice rig!! Can't wait to see the new 295's on. I have Billy's front hybrid too. I will eventually get the rear high clearance like yours and the skids!! ;)
    Make sure and take some good pics of the cab mount chop. I am interested to see how much you cut as I haven't cut enough yet lol. Also don't forget about the pinch weld you will have to beat the shit out of it to flatten it down where it doesn't scrap into your tires. I learned that the hard way.

    With 3/8ths poly spacers I'm at 3" perfectly, may have sagged over time but not much. I'll get 886x when I buy a winch

    Billy's HC is pretty heavy, much more than the front bumper, but your also taking off a lot of weight with the stock tow package. I think billy said it was about 50lbs more than your stock bumper and tow package.

    I have full set of dakars, it'd kinda rough unloaded, but I really don't care about the ride. When loaded up with 200+ lbs of gear or tools it rides like a dream

    Yeah I'm excited too, they go on tomorrow if I can finish the CMC and Pinch weld after school.

    The rear bumper is so worth it, the clearance gains are crazy

    Looks good. I'm still debating between 887 or 885 coils. Do you have aftermarket UCAs?

    Yeah I have LR UCA's. Im very happy with the 885s and 3/8ths spacers. Kinda tempted to get Icon Coilovers with 700lb coils when I add a winch
