I could do it but wouldn't have peace of mind. Rear axle is getting replaced. Hydro steer. Progrips. Spare parts.

Did you get around to checking your rear pinch seems?

Im down for that. I had to put an extra inch bumpstop in the rear so i wouldnt hit the crap out of the pinch seams.

I need to be a part of this! 37s are in my very near future and want to be prepared! Have to trim the rubi rail too!

Yup. And a sawzall. I could probably stand to trim mine more than I already have.

 

[Rb1boxer_3]

Anyone from San Antonio I plan on doing mine this week along with my installing my evo bumper

Lets do it. I have a thread asking how others did it.

Heres the thread:

Im thinking something like this will give the best result? but am not really sure yet. I need to trim the rear of the rear pinch seem, and might as well go all the way around so I wont have any problems if I end up on 40's some day :yup:
