Congrats on the 54k thats amazing. Also start wrighting up your "to do list" for her. Things like oil changes, idle air control valve if, and cleaning the fuel injectors things like that can help alot! Brandon

Congrats! you gotta give up more pics tho lol and the blue truck looks more like a mud truck then a rock truck. Brandon

I didnt even know you were selling your truck. I'm sorry. Why did you sell? Brandon

Sounds like its time to upgrade... Brandon

So true Brandon

Just go back and get the plates that came off of the truck you got the axle out of. I think that should work bRANDOND

Oh and I don't think that I can update my build tonight either :( comp is having problems. But that is how the truck sits as of a few hr's ago. And you can see how the shocks are compressed. and where the tires are rubbing on the tire. I think its rubbing on the frame. Brandon

Ok Here is a pic of the truck as it sits out side. and a few under the truck Brandon

CONGRATES!!!! :cheers: Brandon

Thank you very much for clearing that up I REALLY need to read though every thing as a full not just skim. That I under stand and It is possible that they have a clear coat or some type of protective coating on them, That I don't know. Ill let you know when I get them. Which should be tuesday. And no Pete that is the 1 ? That I did forget to ask. I WILL ask him when I go over there tuesday. Thanks Brandon

If I did spring over then I would be looking at 6 or more " of lift. I would LOVE that If I had not allready bought a lift however right now I have $600 worth of RC 4.5" lift parts. In 2 or so years Ill be looking to go with the SOA when things start to sag like the shocks and springs. I wish I would have looked into it more but hey I'm just a kid I'm trying here lol From now on if some body wants to go with a 4.5" lift I will say GO WITH HELL CREEK!!! lol it would have saved me so much time and even $. Ill post up a few pics here in 2 or so hr's. Ill also update my build tonight. Thanks guys Brandon

Ok so I just ordered my new leaf springs off of Hell Creek. I got new leaf's and add a leaf's. Tim was very helpfull. He said that was likely my problem was "old" leaf's. Ill let you know how it all go's. Thanks for the help! Brandon

why would it matter if its painted blue or red or any thing? Brandon

But if you want the same style as they come stock, go to a JY and get them. The ones that autozone don't look right. I got mine for 10 bucks as a pair from a JY. Any ones off a XJ will also work Brandon

Thats cute Pete, I like how you just try and hid them behind a bit of plastic while driving one the road. But Man your truck looks great! I just ordered some spacers from who the guy at the 4x4 place recommended. I also asked all of the ?'s ya'll have asked me to ask and it looks like they check out. He said that They are just like the Spidertrax spacers just not painted. He also said the place is newer (5 years old) and that is why they are not as well known. Thank ya'll so very very much! I just hope my tires don't end up sticking out as much as Pete's dose lol Ill also get pics up on how they look on the truck. Brandon

Mud flap laws what the hell? Brandon

Hes not making them he's getting them from a supplier in a near by city. Just because the guy has a shop does not mean he knows what he is talking about. No offense against Floridians but most really don't know jack about the stress put on a 4WD rig. Playing in water and mud is one thing. Driving on the street daily is another thing all together. If you want to see some scary stuff that goes on in FL, look up Chuck's Trucks and Trucks Gone Wild. Those are some prime examples of hack job trucks. If you honestly need your truck that bad and can't wait to get spacers do one of the options until they come in. 1. swap the stock axle back in 2. borrow a set of smaller tires Ive allready got street tires from a friend on there :( and I know chucks trucks I go on there all the time. I really do under stand what your saying. You never know about a unknown source of a product supplier. I will let you know To day on how it all gos. Thanks alot guys Brandon

Well the guy owns the place and from what I know of him I think he knows what hes talking about when it comes to MOST things 4x4. IF he says this guy that he uses makes just as good of a product then why would I want to sit on my hands and wait for some to come in the mail for me? It is a serious problem that I have that needs to be taken care of. I use my truck as a daily driver and the more I drive it like this the less safe it gets. If I need to I will go with the ones you guys told me to but if the I go with the ones the guy tells me to then That I will. That you very much for your opinions Brandon

btw What is hub-centric? Brandon

Thanks ill talk to him about them two also and see if they are anodized. If he says go with them then ill be on them two like nothing else. :D Brandon

Ok thanks guys I REALLY don't want to get new rims I LOVE my rims will be able to get any real good flex with just spacers? I also talked to the 4x4 place and He said he has been using a guy thats in Tampa Bay for years now and makes really good stuff. He also said they will be about 100 bones dose that sound right? and do they come in different sizes? If so what size would I be looking for? Thanks! Brandon
