so i ended up getting rough countrys 4.5 long arm lift!! yeah i know you guys like to hate on rc but im pretty confident they improved their ****
so far im really happy with all the parts, installation willl start tomorow night! one thing that i was worried about what the crossmember, because on the older models the 4 bolts would stick out (if im right) but they fixed that

i also got these

with full leafs

with these bad boys
33x12.5 on order

hopefully the install wont take too long since its my dd
fingers crossed!

So now my new thermostat housing gasket is leaking.... replaced my driver side tie rod end. Turn out my u-joint is finished also so ill be replacing all of them since i have a vibration in the rear when i slow down also.

tried sanding all of the rust away but i was too scared to make a hole as i did in a corner


fixed the hole in my quarter panels using foam and fiberglass. Turned out pretty good for my first time
