Now there are 2.5" spacers between them, and there is about 1" between the tires.

Updated picture with the 4" lift upfront, 2.5" spacers between the duals, and the 1.5" spacers moved up front for a little more aggressive stance.


It may not be the tallest, but it has its fair share of rubber out back

now thats a nice ass!!!

Thanks, she's been rode hard and put up wet, literally, for the last 35 years, the scrapes and mud all over the undercarriage prove that, so she's had a tough life, she deserves the "easy" retirement.

thanks, it's actually a lot like yours, completely rebuilt except for the body. when you get up close there's assorted dings & trail rash on it, pretty much same drivetrain too, but T400, D60, & 205. like the no-nonsense look of your short

i like! back in the day it seemed everyone was running 12" lifts with gumbo's & hawg's. not so much anymore, dont know why, lifted chevy's are to 4x4's what '32 fords are to rods & hemi's are to drag racing
