In all reality, it is not that big, i am so so so happy though that it is as low as it is. I believe *ill have to double check* that my frame is at 21'' from bottom, my truck is still lower than my sisters red jeep and she had a 6" lift with 33s, for comparison and sits just a few inches higher than my brothers STOCK silverado. So happy it is low to the ground, lets just hope though it can get down and dirty this summer


And yes, it should fit out of the garage.......hopefully.

omg it is so fun to drive!!! (in the backyard that is lols) I need exhaust and front shocks and its streetable. So about 250$ I almost bought a crewcab s10 as well but it sold to fast.

So this is what i need:
Rear studs/lugnuts *one side
front shocks
reweld the rear shock hangers
exhaust
front drive shaft
possibly swap tcases
4wd
alignment
*i want to put waggy springs in the front, and my shackles in the back
and i think that is is!

Got a harbor freight tube bender today, only using it a few times so decided to go with a cheaper one and here is an updated picture.

Probably around 10inches or so. 5" for the front hangers, another 3 with soa. 3" with soa rear, and 1-2" for add a leaf, plus tires. But in all honesty I did not measure my height when everything was ripped out, so its just an estimate, the truck sits very low though, would be lower than a silverado with a 6" lift for reference.
