Looks great! I'm planning on starting my build soon, I think it will look somewhat similar, but mine is a 2 door. Lol hopefully I can get it looking as good as yours does

Well if you are feeling ambitious 2inch body lift, than you can clear 31's all day long. Some 1.5 inch rear wheel spacers would look nice. Oh and if you seen my build thread you will also know that I would say lights lights and more lights.

Went Offroading guys!!
The first time since I lifted it and got my new tires. It did really well in my opinion!

On Steep Hill - -

Clearance from back bumper to ground

A nice mud pit area- Nothing but MUD!

How deep I was in

Ended up getting stuck in this like 2 feet of pure MUD!

My tire dug in

Even 4LO couldn't get me out, so I called my brother James and he had to come pull me out in his 2WD dodge Dakota Lol! In the process.. We bent the **** out of his back bumper (Steel Bumper). And broke a 60000 pound tow strap! lol I got stuck pretty good!
