    That's just glass flares, no extra clearance.

    I'm looking at chopping an inch out of the rear wheel well and door :D

    I read this before and loved it.

    Buying race truck parts? Expect race truck noises

    While i hate pops/creaks too but you gotta remember we've put tons of money into different suspensions and bumpers and whatnot. Cant expect it to be dead silent.

    3.5 springs in the rear std coilovers up front cranked a bit and front fenders cut. Looks great IMO Should be perfect for me cause 2" springs in the rear.

    You'll probably be getting a set once you get into high speed wheeling in AZ lol

    If you have the uptravel for it, they do allow you to run taller tires when you cycle them up/down a lot during high speed stuff

    I think Redswan Mike was blowing his stock fenders off with his combo of Wheelers Superbumps/34's on hard landings

    On a side note, I drafted a big rig for 20 miles and my optimism gauge read this and kept going up!

    I meant the rear fenders you boob

    Glass is the plan, but not til I get some LT on this bitch!

    They work! Haha.

    I'm gonna get a second set of pretty wheels for DD tires and then I'll have my ugly corroded 5 spoke wheels sandblasted and I'll paint them, then mount some off road tires up on the wheels I give no fucks about

    I considered LT due to my LBJ's clanking away, but I hit my mid-20s crisis and now want something fast-ish

    In the meantime what's it like rolling around in a grand piano?

    Also, I do really like the cut flares up front. Would LOOK better if rears were, too, but I'm not sure if it would do much, considering that's partially door.

    So I took out my CV and saw this little metal sleeve and the bottom part of it is broken. Thought it was the rubber seal but nope. Anyone know what this is called so I can go get a new one?
