Nice job with the bedliner... In regards to no lift and 35's, ignoring the axle issues (ignoring them because I run 35's with completely stock 30 front and 44 rear axles and haven't had any issues... yet), my concern with running 35's and no lift would be the lack of articulation. Not only will you have issues when disconnecting your sway bar, but with the Smitty flares, the tires won't have that much room for up travel. If you look at your picture from the very first post you can see this, especially in the rear... Not that you can't do it, but personally if I was on a tight budget I would try to scour the 'For Sale' section of this forum and try to find a used budget boost for cheap and put it on yourself. Just my 2 cents...

Well I took the armor fenders to Kansas rocks park and smashed them on some trees........ And they look exactly the same as when I unboxed them! I don't know if any other flare would have taken the last hit on my passenger rear corner because it hit hard enough that it popped me up outta the drivers seat and almost onto the center console. Ha ha great investment.
On a side not I now need a gas tank skid, lca skids badly, transfer skid and possibly a crossmember. Oh and mangled a factory wheel good enough to peel off part of the aluminum.
gotta love these things!

Ya I know they will they just didn't like that one. The tank skids beat in in two spots and the transfers curled up on one side. I may have got a little carried away with the skinny pedal
