mj Mike Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 i don't fab professionally, it is a labor of love. i will not build a bumper for you, i will help you build one if you come to me with the metal you need, you can use our tubing bender, nocher, & welder & fab your self something that fits your style & comanche.  as for 35's it a big step! hard on your steering, sway bar, track bar & front axle. trim & set your bump stops & gears = you can't go over 4.88's on a front D30! & 4.88' is not full potential for 35's  butt if you are still interested in A NEW BFG BAJA T/A 35x12.50 on 15r i have one for sale?
