Great work, as for the lower shock mount 'trim' it. It looks like you are great at trimming. Keep up the great work.

thanks man i´m trying to do some nice work here without spending so much money. and it cross my mind trimming the shock mounts but, its not necesary i have a pair of RC lower control arms from the red cherokee they are a bit larger than RACNCHO´S and it looks they wont hit the shock mounts.
i´m just waiting to the bump´stops to make the lca´s greasable and install them.

it hits because i add some 2" sapacers and 2" blocks in the rear leaves, to the 3 lift. thats why it hits, those LCA are not made for 5" lift.
this week will arrive my stuff and next week i´ll add these ROUGH COUNTRY LCA´S.

Default bushwacker VS arb safari snorkel

well if you have bushwacker fender flares and want an ARB snorkel you should cut arround 1inch of the left front flare. its not a big deal.
good luck
