So I threw the rear axle under the jimmy tonight. Its not fully bolted in. I have to cut and move the spring perches and shock mounts. I did throw some tires on it just to see how it looked.

Haha! I like it!

I did the same thing when I was building mine, except that the front had tiny tires and no lift. It looked silly, but I just had to.

Lol thanks Don. The 44s are about shot, sidewalls are dry rotted and cracked. Im going to put tubes in them and see how long they last. Ill probably run 37-40 inch tires depending on what I can find for cheap.
