Re drilling the holes on the brackets, found a sweetspot where it all works.

Smike, do you have any connections on Solid diff covers?

$130 on diff covers! High roller! They just offer you a discount on whatever you plunk in your cart? Just wondering about discount, if it's not much I'll just ordermyself. They are cheap

Look at those new parts Arie!



Front done.



New dilemma about spending money I don't have: will I be pissed at myself in a year for splurging on new 37s?

BLING!

Hey can I get a pic of the lower bump stop / coil retainer setup?

Keep in mind 37s = new wheels too

I'm aware of the wheel situation...

The bumpstops are nothing more than hockey pucks on top of the coil retainer the brackets came with. They sit 98% flat when you tighten them down.

Definitely, even to run these 36s.

40s means gears, 35spl outers, shortside chromo inner... cage... all stuff I should do but was thinking I could get away without on a smaller (relative) tire. For a while.

 ;D I'm looking forward to it. A lot.

I'm not expecting much from these tires though. Was trying to decide how quickly I wanted to be on 40s. I'm sorta hoping 3-4" more tire and real axles would keep me satisfied for a while, but I also know myself.  :-\
