Default folded rear fenders. but need opinion.

well today was kinda bitter sweet. while doin the rear passneger my one and only cancer spot popped open. so im gonna get a panel and weld it in.

any way...this is at stock height. i have a 3" lift for it and a buget boost of 1"fr and 1 1/2 for the rear. i know i need tires just dont have the money right now and it will prolly be another year before i need them.

so with these 235's can i just put my b/b on with the 3" shocks? my leafs dont sag at all. im kinda thinkin it would look really nice with what has been done to it. i think it looks lifted and i dont want to look dumb for a
year..

i also have an adj trac-bar...should that go in too...just because its new.

so the lift will be 1"fr and 1 1/2 r.

I like how it looks now. If you are not itching too bad to install the whole lift, I would at most put only the Budget 1in 1.5 for now until you get bigger tires. You should be ok with the 3in shocks as long as you dont flex enough to bottom them out (if you do you could bumpstop with hockey pucks). If your shocks are good now then you could definately run those with the BB.

You could cut and fold the lower quarter panel. It would look awesome with a low stance like that since you have the end caps removed and you would get rid of all the cancer.

When you do that mod the part where the hole is is not needed. You could just cut it away.

If the shocks look too long you could always put the old ones back on. Takes a few minutes. (oh wait, good luck with the rear shock bolts)

If they were recently taken off they shouldnt be difficult.
