Default PA 3" BL installed

Ok not much time so Ill make this quick. As some of you know I did my 3" BL over the weekend. Ive got lots of pics but I will leave these with you for now.

I can tell you I did not remove my power steering lines, trans lines from the block, drivers side battery cable from frame (ground), fuel filler from body or ground from cab to bed.

You really do not need to take loose the e-brake cable if you adjust slack in the cable itself.

Also, ***** a die grinder and cutting, grinding discs. A Sawzall with a metal blade did it all in about 10 mins for the front bumper brackets and from frame rails.

Here is a before and after. I have not put on my gap guards yet because I likely will just get full rear liners

Here is a link to all the pics for now.

Here are some before and after.

What are you going to do about the grill guard, winch mount? Because that's the stumbling block keeping me from going any higher...

It's more than just a spark plug. You have to have a coil powering the plug and there is some kind of kit I believe that cycles the raw fuel through the motor so the fumes ignite in the ignition. It doesn't work if you have cats it will burn them to hell and back.

The tires look like they can actually function offroad now! Why does everybody always want a stuffed tire with no articulation?
