    What size lift, and I would do 4.88 with 37s especially with extra weight and RTT. I'm cutting the metal for a frame for the trailer and will have that welded. The walls I will do since I do not trust myself for tongue and axle.

    @Overkill07 when you do the passenger seal for the axle it's a botch to square up and only drove in 1/16 of in inch or it pukes oil. Here is what I used and worked awesome

    63's flex good, but I haven't seen them flex enough for an 18" shock. I'd like to see if he is able to utilize the full shock travel.

    Well he hit 1 trail and broke the rear before the end so not much seat time with the RTT on trails.

    I didn't notice as much of a change in the center of gravity as I thought I would in the little time I was on the trail.

    So I received a phone call and email stating that my gears were shipping yesterday. Upon hearing this wonderful news, I decided it was time to do something that I had been putting off (lazy).

    After a crazy Monday at work I was able to still have time to wrench on the truck when I got home (Thank God for daylight savings time). I soon realized that I have beat the crap out of my skids!!!

    Custom one offs by @Tacodriver08 for my FabTech DB lift.

    Dang! Once you beat it flat I'll stitch weld in a length of bar stock to reinforce it. Also I'm guessing we'll be installing some shiny new gears in the next week or so?

    I plan on this weekend if possible. EGCS called me yesterday to confirm my address.

    My tracking number shows that the packages are in transit but have not made it out of NC yet. I know they are having some bad weather up there right now.

    Yes, I have absolutely no reason as to why they were not painted besides I just wanted to hit the trails before I had time to do it.
    I will have them powder coated by my buddy while they do something for Misty's Heep :anonymous:

    I'd request a refund. The rust sorta gives it a unique character.

    That is where mine are coming from. The lead time is currently 2 weeks which was right on the money. The shipping is the current factor of change due to the sever storm across the country right now.
