    So it ended up settling down to about 6” and never thought I’d say this but I’m thinking I might leave it there. It rides great and is pretty easy to get in and out of.

    Thanks a lot man. I can’t wait to see what 2018 brings for both of our trucks.

    I just ordered an icon spammer wrench for the coilovers to adjust them so we’ll see what I end up like. I really liked it at 7.5” so we will see.

    Should still be pretty plush!!!

    Curious to know what kind of trimming you ended up doing to fit those meats.

    When I get it where I like it I’ll trim it up for good and then do fiberglass and bondo to redo the line inside the fender so it looks stock and it should be good to go. That’s the plan at least

    Then when all that’s done and I have some time it’s body work and probably a vinyl wrap. Vinyl should hold up better agains rocks. Buddy of mine is trying to talk me into that professional plastidip but I doubt that’s as strong as the wrap.

    Not on yet. Picked them up at 5pm and all tire shops were closed. They are a tad bigger so I have to add some lift before they get mounted. Toyo Open Country MTs

    On uneven ground, it actually sits dead level at about 8” of lift in the front. Not done trimming yet but 37’s clear pretty well
