Removed the over load leaf and now both the front and back measure 21 1/2 in. from center of the wheel to bottom of the flare. I think I can live with that plus, when I get a rear bumper with tire carrier and put a few tools n parts in the back...should be gold.

 

Before anybody says it...I ain't goin wheelin with these, just goina settle this "settlin" debate

 

It definately looks more appealing to the eye now.

Did you have it loaded down with weight in the picture?

 

Nope and still 1/4 tank o gasoline

 

4.5 inch lift all around looks good man. Looking good.

 

It has taken over a year to get this far and still not even close to doin any serious wheelin with it., but maybe one day.

 

Bigger tires are seriously in order haha

 

Idk about serious wheeling but you can have some serious fun if you add the bigger tires.
Btw, What else do you plan to do to it from here?

 

Same ole same ole...wheels n tires next, winch, rear bumper, armor, then the biggie at some point of gears n lockers. Already have flat flares but on the fence of wanting the fender armor with metal flares. Have to have tires covered round here and wished someone would make the flares that are easily removed when wheelin. It's not a DD but will be used in winter at times for my job that involves about a hundred miles a day on a vehicle.

 

Aw yeah.
I will dig it.
I like the big sheet armor front/rear with the steel flares, haven't seen one that offered decent tire coverage yet though.
The daggum youth had made tire coverage an issue around here.
Or I'm just getting old and don't realize there is a new law on the stuff.

I'm actually going from a 13.50 wide tire ona 10" wheel to a 10.50 wide on 8" wheel myself so I can have some coverage.
