Made some progress! Have to get DS lengthened and set pinion angle. Might need to clock the spring perches down a bit more.

Stretch is complete!! This was a lot of work. RK rear long arms 3" stretch.

I went with crawler concepts rear corners with weld on flares and front cc flares. So far on highway, I can definitely tell the difference with the long arms and or the 3link.

Going to do the front long arms hopefully in the spring.

Decided to change up the color scheme also with silver flares. powder coating the LOD sliders silver also.

I had to modify the mounts for the sliders considerably. That turned out to be a money suck! For what I paid to modify them I almost could have bought new body mount sliders and rocker armor. Sort of disappointing there! But live and learn.

Can't wait to get her off road.

Good difference or bad difference?
Also, no offense but if it were me I would definitelyyyyyy cut off that piece in front of the tires/ behind the front of the flare. Looks goofy IMO.

Piece of the corner armor?? That will meet up with the racket armor if I ever get it. I think I will leave it

As far as difference, good for sure. Bumps have much less impact. Can't wait to do the front.
