Done. Passenger side took all of 15min. Driver's side took about 2 hours. Between modifying the box and a ratchet not fitting anywhere, the drivers side bent me over. :P

Ordered some 2" coil spacers today! Next week I'm gonna grab some junkyard ranger leafs and build up my flat pack. I hope I can get the rear built up to match the front.

LOL...Nope he's putting the 42 on that carrier, which last year that carrier busted his hatch , As it's only a piece of plate steel with bolts through the hatch to spread the load out...which that fiberglass hatch did not like the 39.5 which was only 76lbs plus rim , and these 42's must weigh 100lbs . His reason is he does not want to lose the roopm...lol...The man don't even have tools inside the truck , So i'm not sure what room he needs as a solo driver???...lol

I agree. I can't imagine pushing that much tire with that motor. No matter what the gears are. IMO.

Not to talk too much garbage, cause I don't know him. But in general, I hate it when wheelers don't bring their own tools. Its cool if they bring tools and don't have the one tool they happen to need. But when you rely on everyone else bringing tools, you don't belong on the trails! Its pure laziness and horrible trail etiquette. IMO.

Danny only wheels with a small group of friends that have known each other for almost 1.5 decades , So his lack of tools just gives us ammo to bust his ballz , But we have though about charging him rental fee on tools ...lol

Haha. Nice. Again, I don't know him or the situation. So I really am not trying to bust on him. But that is funny.

jeepersranch, i agree w/you 1000%!!

but, in danny's small defense, he does know how to wrench quite a bit, and will get dirty to help you. only reason i cut him a bit of slack, but he really should carry some tools.

So guys... Im moving from 3 to 5 inches this week. Any ideas on brake lines? I was hoping to just relocate the fronts with a bracket. Should I go SS rears or will it be fine. Or can you relocate rears?
