Those stock rubi tires look litty bitty compared to the 38s!
Can you get a picture at the front dead on, I ordered atx slabs and want to see how much the tires stick out. Dave's doing a great job, he's gunna charge you a arm huh.

Well she's sitting on all fours now, but had some more issues today. The fox shocks I ordered for the rear are for a 4" to 6" lift. I was told to order those shocks even though I had a 3.5" lift because I'de get more droop. Well since my lift kit relocates the rear shock mounts up about 3" there is not enough up travel now. I'll be replacing them with OEM 2.0 Kings. The fox shocks will be listed for sale soon so keep an eye out.
Next, the AEV Y-pipe with loop delete does not just drop in. The loop delete pipe fits fine. The section that moves the cross over pipe does not fit with long arm brackets. Dave is having to cut up the AEV pipe and the stock pipes, like a jig saw puzzle, and try and make this shit work.
Here she is on all fours, and here's a pic Dave sent showing how tight it is with the long arm brackets.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm picking her up on Friday and getting an alignment done and tires balanced. Dave is spending all next week moving into his new shop. He's starting his own business, Brave Motorsports, so he's got a lot on his plate right now. As soon as that's done, and my new rear shocks are here, I'll head back up there to really cycle the suspension and measure for rear bumps and limit straps.
Happy Thanksgiving!! GOOOOO TEXANS!!!!!!!
