When I first put the lift on she sat more around 6+" with 33's. They looked ok but where just a little to small. Now that I have the 35's on, the lift has settled to around 5" and she looks great. I think once I ditch the bushwackers and build some steel flatties it will look just about right, to me atleast

It cost me about $250-$300 to build, and alot of hours put into it. Its for sale now, as I want to do something different. I want to do a rear stinger/carrier. Also like the poison spyder customs TJ rear carrier. Thats what I have for an idea in my head. It will be a fold down tire carrier. But I have to sell this dam thing first

Dang man I didn't realize you had a build thread. Its come a long way in the last year for sure. I just wanted stop by and brag about being the proud owner of your old trussed d30 haha.

I didn't realize you set up a 3-link. How is that working out for you? I am thinking of doing a 3 link on mine soon, these drop brackets just don't feel right, and I like the idea of no binding in the system. Also I was wondering if you'd recommend those stiffeners (hd offroad right?). They seem like the way to go since they cover all of the unibody, but I remember you saying they were pain when you got to the seat belt bolts. I am trying to decide between those and ruffstuff specialty plating.

Ya ya brag all you want, because when I own a HP D44 trussed and all then ummmmm I mean never mind

Yep I built it about 3 months ago and love it. So much better then the stupd drop brackers. Flex's so much better and I love the right to.

The HD mid ones are easy, just a **** ton of welding, thats all. THe rear one were a PITA, but have been well worth it. I would go HD's! I love them and they were worth every penny! Just need to get a cage built now to top it all off!!
