Default Five Month Wait!!!

Alright so I have waited a nearly 5 months for my shrockworks front stubby and It has finally came!!! Now comes the joy of not only putting on the bumper but everything else that I have bought in the waiting period.

New.... Warn M8000.... PA 1in Body Lift.... IPF 968s and Bumper.











So I am noticing a slight rake as the bumper and winch weigh alot. I am a college student and i would like to keep things cheap and affective hence the BB and the Body Lift. I am contemplating 3 in front coils and getting rid of the front spacer. What do you think? Front larger coils and rear BB spacers...... Good? Bad? Let me know!

Looking good!

I would recommend that you upgrade you lift from a 2.5BB to a 2.5 lift (set of all 4 coils)if you want to eliminate the rake. The BB just won't work well with the front bumper and winch.

Thanks Guys! i cannot wait to get it out on the trails.

iI will definitely look into the lifts rather than the BB.

Did anyone have trouble with the PA body lift? specifically Fitting the two rear mounts?

They are pretty nice. I cannot really compare to anything except my previous fogs and they beat those out by a long shot. I swapped to the 100 w bulbs! lol The only comment I have is..... Dinky Switch.

That looks really nice. Five months, huh? Maybe there's hope for me: I just ordered the rear bumper, trail and jerry can racks last month at EJS. Jim told me "three months," so I figured before Christmas. Well, five months would make it just in time for my Birthday. Are you reading this Jim? It'd make a great birthday present: September 28th. But I'll still be delighted if it's here before Christmas. Like Jim said when I ordered it: "You're our perfect customer: Willing to wait for the best."
