Very nice. Are you pretty content with the rear flex and does it rub in the rear anymore? im close to the same setup just havent got any 35's under it yet. I cant decied if i want to run my LC coils or swap to leafs for the rear and strech it like 2 inches im scared the tires gonna hit the door.

Its fun tubbing, isnt it ;)

It looks great.

I'm happy with the amount of flex in the rear. I'll never be happy with the flex in the front haha. I had to trip a little in the rear but I don't rub anymore. You shouldn't have issues with the tires hitting the door. I had to take a little chunk out at the front of the fender by the door but it was quick and easy. My vote between Leafs and LC's would be LC's.

Tubbing was the horrible and I seriously hope to never do it again.
 
Great looking rig. Love the looks of the black sports. Also love the pic of the tires mock up on your ride with no lift.
 
Haha well im glad you understand my pain then, when i made the tubbing joke, its pretty intense, try a top chop. that gets the blood rushing, haha that was a pain in the A, mine tops still not done either.

Yeah im playing with 3'' pucks on the front, i feel your pain there too with no flex. yeah i know what lip your talking about on the rear fender, i started to cut it til my grinding disc blew up and hit my lip that scared me, i didnt get hurt but im post poning that til last minute now haha.

Oh and another reason for leafs was my sway bar got bent, so its no longer fits on the rig, so leafs would also be less squirrely. with the top chopped i can do some mean doughnuts now since the lack of weight.

I'd be interested in what you boys would charge in labor. I'd love to do it myself but I just don't have the time or the tools required. I have a feeling this runner will eventually see a SFA but I have a feeling I might have to run out of stuff to do to it before I drop the $$$$ or I'm able to convince my wife it's worth it haha.

And at the top of the waterfall this happened. Looks like some rust between the teeth.

How much do you have your coilovers cranked? Are they all the way down?

They are the camburg coilovers from wheelers off road Camburg Coilover Shocks and Upper Control Arms - Wheeler's Off-Road, Inc they are rated from 0-3" of lift and I have them set at 2.5" of lift. They aren't anywhere close to cranked all the way. I could probably gain another 2 or 3 inches of lift but by cranking but wouldn't want to run them them that high for lots of reasons.

Thanks a lot. I am wanting my rig to sit as high as yours but I was not sure on how far to crank down my donahoes.
