The thing is 1/2 an inch might not do much... they rub pretty good...
Also I don't own a sawzall but painting is a good idea to stop rust... its good that the endpoint goes back in but I think I would have to take them off because it looks like the very end of the rail connection point needs to be cut too...

I am guna have to bug Mark again for help!


ohh EDIT: does anyone know any good rails to replace the stock rubi's with that are smaller (not as long) but just as sturdy and maybe have a good stepping kinda area ?? but not too bulky or kill ground clearance... hahaha maybe if someone has something local I can look at in person before ordering besides the search button that is

I am out for the trip though... sorry Adam I gotta take it easy for a while and I gotta work weekends to make the $$ I need to pay this and the wheels off now... the wheels were a big kick in the wallet and this extra 1000$ on top makes it sting alot harder...

Welcome and hello.
Hamptons is a good time

Half doors was a good choice, I wish I did that sometimes...
What gears do you have ? with the 4:10's I still dont think I *NEEEED* with a lift and 35's but everyone has there own feelings on that...

What lift are you getting ? and what are C gaussets ? those are the thigns on the endpoints of the axels right ?? what do they do exactly ?

I dont know any real good welding places but I am sure others do so hopefully they will post...

are you getting adjustable trackbars or are you getting some sort of brackets for the stock setup ? (I had the relocation one from TF for the rear and just drilled and bolted it up...)

Welcome again... and umm I think something is wrong with your avatar ?!
