Chopped the rear fenders this morning. Still need to do the fronts and figure out how I want them. I need to chop both sides of the bumper, might be able to finish it Friday.
Passenger side rear came out good, drivers side is good enough lol.

Haha good times. Little buddy's truck is kaput. But the S.S. Stripper Tears is back up and running. So if you come down, we can take the boat out on the lake anytime!

Played around with this beast last night
I feel so inadequate every time I see that truck.

Right on Rob! Getting after it. Just take the fronts on the same arch out to the bottom of the corner light. Should be able to get another 6 inch so of clearance.
Like mossyrocks runner
All the clearance you need and still looks clean. :tea:

And in case it matters. That is the only way I would have done mine. Just like mossy's. 40's low and full travel of suspension. His build is definitely one to pull ideas from if you want to go big.

That's actually what I was looking at. I think I'm going to take it pretty high on the front which will allow me to lower the truck too

Busy with some home improvement projects. Had my kitchen and bathrooms renovated. Gotta please the wife so I can keep dumping money into the runner with no complaints.
it's been on the road but I just parked it in my shop to start installing my dual cases. Haven't had any time to wheel it with my kids' sports on weekends. Should be on the trail soon. I hope!

Had some time today to cut the front fenders. Went pretty high with them, I like it. Need to relocate the washer fluid resi and possibly relocate the battery to get some more sheet metal out of the way, then paint everything.... including all my links and axles lol, meh. I got my flex back I'm pretty stoked. Need bumpstops BAD. Rear tires are hitting the fenders still, but the coil over is bottomed out, so I don't need to cut anymore, I just need bumpstops!!
Bottom of tire to ground is 41", it's got more... and I'm gonna get it!!!
Got pulled over again yesterday... highway patrol as always. No ticket, but mud flaps are going on tomorrow :violin:

Looking great Rob. The rear is easy if you don't mind a little welding. You can take that edge up to the edge of the door. Just cut up to the fender trim line and weld it back together using a piece of 1/8 rod to get the edge back. Should gain another inch of clearance there.
Looking great though. Front is big enough for 42's now if you get greedy. :eyebrows:
