Can be done. Most people aren't willing to sacrifice the ride quality and sheet metal to do it

Frantically wiped all the condensation off of my windshield created by the cold weather and the sun deflector.

X2...the only reason i did it, as i stated before, is because the tires where cheap and the lift kit will come shortly(Christmas is eating up all my money)...for street driving they do perfectly fine...i did some minor wheeling as pictured before, and as expected i got a lot of rubbage...so gonna start with a 2" bb(shackles and spring spacers) longer shocks, bump stop, and trim some more sheet metal off the front fenders and see how well that'll flex...so when i can afford it i'll know if 3" will be good or if i should go more...im a broke ***, so one thing at a time...Plus its kinda cool to stuff some big *** tires on no lift just to say it can be done

Fixed something the PO screwed up, reattached the fuel filler hose AND tightened the clamp on the tank (was not on the tank fully and loose clamp before).

Everyday it's something else

No doubt eh! Few guys around here run them and they seem to perform very well. I sure wouldn't hesitate to buy them next time around. Be sure to post some pics when they are mounted!
