Doubt it since I have no plates for the trailer yet. If I drove to TN I could have them in 10 minutes..... seems like years waiting on my dad and the snail mail though

Yeah it does.... wish I could go but without the plates it aint happening. This thing is a wreck waiting to happen on the highway so I won't drive it there. Has something to do with wanting to make it to my next birthday....and making sure I don't take someone else out too.

Make lots of $$ and buy a bigger lift and tires. And maybe sell the old lift to me cheap since it's used.

Anyway, bigger arch in the springs (rear), or better yet go to a linked rear, larger (longer) front springs, drop arm, drop transfer case, longer shocks,longer control arms too, and may as well go all out and put some lockers in it too while it's down.
Best thing to do is look for a good price for a lift, also make sure to read what users say about different lifts, some don't like the ride at all and others say the rides great, depends on how stiff you want it (I'm meaning the ride....nothing else ).
Usually a lift can be done over a weekend when you have to drop things and so on.
