i think this will help me huge when i'm in the mud.  you could always see two frame rail marks in the mud that i had gone though.  i guess its time to go out and "WOW" all the fullsize guys again.  dose anyone have any tips or things i sould know about this that would help.  everything is going smoothly but never know when i may need some help.

thanks,  Stu

Rocker gaurds!!!  After I raised my frame I dented both rockers.  

With the frame lower it's harder to hit the rockers.

When you put on a body lift there is a gap between the body and the frame.

I've cut the middle of the frame from the suspention, raised it back up to the body and welded it back together.  This will give you more brake-over clearance (center clearance) but leaves the suspention lower for bigger tires.
