Shouldn't be a problem. There are some that lift without a diff drop without issue.

Thanks! For the price, they're worth it. Almost anyone who runs 35" tires, would need spacers so regarding the LBJs, mine are almost new and I'll keep an eye on them. It's been my understanding the farther the tire sticks out more then stock is harder on the suspension it is. But let me tell you, I just drove it for several hours today and.... it drives much better then what it did before!! With the lift and narrow tires, it just seemed a little jumpy going down the road. Doesn't feel that way anymore.

Installed TRD Catback Exhaust today - Find it here
Also pressed out the front hubs and bearings on the spare set of spindles I have.
Getting prepped to add the Total Chaos Gussetts
Drove about 30 miles testing the sound of the new TRD exhaust while breaking in the new 4.88's. :reddance:

Made progress on my CB antenna mount. Mounting point is above the tail light. Still needs some finishing touches before it'll be ready for paint.

It was actually last Thursday but...
Did rear diff breather mod and flushed the muddy water gear oil.
While waiting for the oil to completely drain I removed the gas tank skid and painted it. Then while waiting for the skid plate to dry I got bored again and removed the panhard bar to paint that.
At this point I gave her a nice bath and put her all back together without breaking any bolts or getting pissed off trying to line things back up!
Before ending this successful day I took her back out to get all dirty again.

Yesterday my buddy and I replaced my front fenders! They had a lot of rust and holes. The bottom parts of the fenders were completely rusted off. It cost about $500 Canadian for parts and paint.
I got some new fenders and painted them myself with automotive aerosol. Really pleased with how well the paint came out.
We then removed the rusty panels. It was difficult removing the plastic plugs in the wheel wells without breaking them. Some were very brittle and broke. Most of the bolts were easily accessible and easy to remove, except for the ones behind the bumper
We were able to do it without taking the bumper off. There are two bolts located behind the sides of the bumper for the fenders. We cut around this area using some tin snips to cut a hole that gave us access to the bolts. They were so rusty the bolts broke. We didn't bother putting new bolts in because all the other bolts for the fender seemed to keep them in place just fine.
Here you can see just how rusty the fenders were. Rock chips fromthe PO and the silver trim around the old fenders caused a lot of rust! I recommend removing the trim to prevent this
The end result. We also had to remove the little strips that are below the headlights. I painted those too and also put in a new grill I had laying around.
If anyone has any questions about doing this, feel free to ask!

Any details on the install? This is the same one I'll be installing. I have the newer cargo storage area in the 01. I also have room under the hood. Still undecided.
