Nice. By the looks of the 4th pic of your rear end (not that I was looking LOL), it looks like your axle is really friggen crooked. Obviously the camera angle.

LOL! Ya the right tire is up in the air, look at the level the tires are sitting. I took several pictures at that spot.

Front: Monroe Gas-Matic shocks.
I bought the ones that felt the strongest when tested pushing and pulling out of the box (Counter guy hated me for testing them all). For the lift the suspension tops out before the shocks do.

Rear: Monroe Max Air
Air shocks are fully adjustable! For the lift I had to weld up a bracket to move up the mounting bolt on the axle. They can provide lift, but I don't have them for the lift.

Yea nice tires for the money but do your winch wires always hang down like in the first pic. I would worry about yanking them loose or scraping off the coating.

LOL! Ya I usually have them nice and tight, I guess they worked their way loose. Now they are tight. I moved up my front hitch 2in for more ground clearance. I had to redo a lot of small things to fit it just right.

Here are a few pics from testing my new Mud Tires. At the car wash. They handled it all with ease! I'm waiting to get the videos from my friend, hopefully post up tomorrow.
