Looks great! If you don't mind, can you get some shots of the gaps left from the body lift? They don't look that noticeable on other body lifted rigs I've seen on here, but I'd like to see a closeup if I could. I look forward to seeing your build thread.

Sure. I'll have to wait 'till its light out though. They (the gaps) aren't too bad. Thinking about fabricating some guards of my own though. The PA "gap-guards" seem a little too pricey for me to spend moolah on, but they would improve the look. Now.....wonder if I should get some Nerf bars. The vote is still out. As far as the gap specifically, if you look back on the pic where I have the drivers side jacked up, the gap you see on the rear is about what I still have with the truck placed down on the spacers. It just looks exagerated in that pic because the body is super jacked up.....the jack plus 3 stacked 2X4's.

Just a quick question. Now do you still have you 235 tires on with your lift? or did you end up having to change them?

I'm still running the 235's for now. They don't look bad IMO. Eventually, I'd like to run 31s....maybe 33s with alot of trimming.

32's work well with a body lift and torsion bar/ shackle lift with minor trimming
