technically steering brace is NOT on the way. I had one from a while back, didnt have the piece that wraps around the pitman arm/steering box..so just that piece is on the way.

Why don't you cut and fold the rear? A hack saw will work if you don't have a die/angle grinder then just fold it like normal. I used a hack saw for a few cuts and a die grinder for most.

Right now? Not much. But...that's not because its not high enough. It's because my suspension is hacked together right now with spacers. 3 and 35s will flex like crazy it's setup right
