You can buy a rocker panel for $50 or so.

Im trying to figure out the heigth of my lift but the previous owner chopped the fenders to **** and he cut the main seam out of the rear fenders thats how high he cut. So i need help from some of you guys. Thanks.

Id rent a fuel pressure gauge from an autoparts store and check your pressure at the fuel rail. That will gibe you the pressure after the regulator.
