My theory on everything has always been "go big or go home" but unfortunately my wallet isn't as big as my theory! Lol! Hoping everything I want done to it will be complete in a year...2 years tops!

Yeah with 6.5 and 35s it'll sit up there. Around 28" from the ground or so. You'll like it too. I went with the skyjacker 6" lift and love it a lot.

Test fitting






Pulled it back off to weld in chain links for tie downs




Got all the welds done and gutter mounts installed


Took it home to clean up the welds, wire brush it clean, then paint it...still have ALOT of work ahead but at least the hard part is done!!!




I know it's not done yet but ya'll tell me what ya'll think! I'll be uploading measurements once I have it completely done.

Took this pic last night after I got it on. I'll have more pics tomorrow with day light. My daughter decided she wanted to test out the rack.
