Also just picked up a set of Rock Krawler 2.0 RRD Racing shocks in 11" travel. I'm not 100% on running them yet, but the price was too good to pass up. I dig the anodized aluminum fluted body and nitrotec shafts. Plus I like how RK will rebuild them pretty cheap and can also add a remote resi for a pretty decent price as well. If nothing else these will be good for the mean time until I get good some measurements for some fox or bilsteins.

Not sure if I missed this, did you open the rear wells up for the 37s? Cut and fold won't cut it to get the most tucked up there.

Yes. Not sure if you've ever seen the install of Notch flares in the rear, but it requires more than a standard cut and fold. Opens up nicely.

Hahaha! Not so much the LP as it's the 35c. However, I pity the poor bastards who are cursed with that combo.
