Not that I don't love 3" and 35s but my rear wheel wells don't like it lol, if it wasn't a dd I would tub them out, I originally wanted a 4.5" lift with 35s but didn't have the money so got a 3". It will still be lowcog and stout but with a little bit more potential.

Your gonna have to change your title.

Potential isn't exactly determined by lift height, by the way.

And my plug in my rear tire finally came out ( cause I didn't cut it off at the top like a dumb***) so I got a tow and that will also be fixed tomorrow

Yup I cut the bottom part of the pins so you just lift up to get them off, I'll post pictures later when I do the other side.

I just cut the rubber grommet on the inside of the body and I warped up the wires with tape and I just push them through the hole. It takes about 5 minutes to get the doors off and 10 minutes to get them back on ( passenger side is harder)

How are your hinges now that you've cut the bottom? Are you seeing any sagging? This is my next mod

The door drops maybe a half inch when I open it but closes just fine. And I recommend cutting the top pin shorter and grinding them to points, it makes it wayyy easier to put them back on. And if you can get your doors off with a torx socket then cut them it will be way easier than trying to use sawzaw blades when there on.
