not long after i decided some front end lift was a good idea. so threw some zj coils in the front for about an inch of lift. oh yeah and cant forget the 31x10.5 bfg mt's

so the add-a-leafs sagged, and after a few mishaps with the added leafs shifting, moved to a primo set of dual rate skyjacker HD leaf packs, 3.5 inch lift height.

spring rolled around and i added some 3" skyjacker lift coils, 1" coil spacers, 1" lift shackles for the back and a tcase drop kit, all from skyjacker. made for a nice 4.25/4.5 lift front to back. loads of fender trimming helped keep the fenders from eating the tread off my tires, and i added some nice pro-comp steel rockcrawlers. hooray!

phase 2 of the build was the paint scheme, which hasnt been updated since the original repaint. plans to redo the paint and add a pile more detail are in the mix. also built a massive stinger front bumper out of 1/8th wall 3" tubing and 1/2"x6" armour grade c channel. BREAK THAT!
