    Nice :thumbsup:

    Is it bolt-on or weld-on?

    Assuming you're going with some nice Aluminum skids all the way under?

    Me too haha. Their attention to detail is awesome especially when it's stuff that I don't catch and they already take care of it. Really creative fab guys who love what they do.

    As for the 35s, as sick as they are, I already tried stuffing a 35" Toyo MT up in front and the amount of cutting is not worth it IMO not to mention regearing and the extra stress on the components. After talking with the guys at The Truck Shop and Total Chaos, sticking around 33's especially being 4wd with this gearing is my best bet for the long run.

    I'm sure I could get the room, it's just the other factors I was concerned about. Maybe one day, who knows.

    i was totally kidding. 33's are perfect for your truck. your truck sits low, which is a good thing.

    Figured there wouldn't be as much clearance issues with the fiberglass, interesting:cool: Without them there is a lot of cutting (almost got all the rub out)! Your truck looks awesome either way really!

    Oh, weird mine didn't really rub there at all, maybe the geometry of the AP vs the TC kit is different, cause I know mine pushes the wheel forward about an 1" plus +3-4degrees of castor.

    Thought about that, maybe if I find one cheap :)

    Interesing, IIRC it was when I was locked at full turn and bump. Also, I've smashed my UCA bolt through my upper fenderwell doing things I shouldn't be doing in an uncaged truck, I can imagine what a 35 would do.
