    Not sure of angle, basically layed slider on ground and slid a leg under it. That was angle i used. Lke i said, cut 4", could've gone more. Id say 6" if you want close to bodyIMG_0479.jpgIMG_0480.jpg

    I bet! If everything goes well, I'll be painting while off the truck. Just have to paint the end of legs and brackets while everything is welded on the frame

    Honestly I think the tires actually appear bigger than what they are since the flares are gone. Eventually I'd like to run 33x12.5s :D:D:D

    Take the flares off! Lol.... Here's a pic with and without. You can definitely see how without the flares they appear bigger. Yours would even appear bigger since I have a 1" body lift
