Much happier, I still have about 3 inches more, but that is as far as I wanted to go with my lift. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"

If I do my math right I should be able to get to 26" or so. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"

How many hours? I wish I was even moderately handy. I took a two year hiatus when I was dating a lady, so I am going on 4 years. I did have a little bit of creep and I have had to do a couple things twice to fix some chitty kits. I am all the better for it. I have 6k in the purchase and when all said and done, I will have right around 6k in the build. If I decide to go with the Atlas II transfer case, add another 3500. I have probably, 100 hours of actual work time. It is not a show piece going to be a rock crawler, just wanted it to look decent. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"
