TCAR_Comanche Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 the manche in your profile pic...is that the 3 or 6 inch lift ...I'm trying to decide what to get... april is happy with a 3 inch lift but I'm thinkin more of a 4.5 or 5 inch lift... thinking maybe the leaf over method may be the cheapest for me.

TCAR_Comanche Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 seems the bed on my MJ was mostly rust and bondo, Ive decided to take a trip to indiana to pick up another one thats in much better shape for 300 bucks. So if anyone needs a bed ima sell my old one for like 80 bucks...it hasnt rusted all the way thru yet but it needs work. Ridin dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
