So...you're not happy with the 32s? I'm sitting on 3 1/2 " lift and the plan is 32s with the flat flares. Should I go ahead and get 33s? Looking good, by the way.

The way it is I don't mind the 32s at all I would go ahead with them but you will always have that itch to go bigger like when I bought my 32s I always thought I should of went with 33s but I dont mind the 32s they work good with the 3.5 lift

So the lift is an 4.5 coils and 3.5 leafs and a 1.5 shackle with adjustable lower control arms and have some adjustable uppers I need to put it but so far I definitely need to get some shackle relocation boxes and steering but I like the height I'm at now
Might need to bump stop the front a little

Did the whole no doors thing for a little
Not even that bad just makes me mad
Well my Dana 30 fell through so I'm just waiting and probably gonna put 4.56 gears so when I move up a tire size but in other news backed up Into my house with my jeep and messed my hatch up
