Look what came this week.





I'm so excited about this one. I'll be sure to do a good writeup on the install.

Modifying the gas tank is required. I may do this myself or take it down to someone to have it done. I am hoping I don't need to cut into the floor board Here's a pic of the crawler.





I'll keep you posted on the install pics.

You shouldn't have to, from what I remember in doing measurements a 2" body will clear it. Considering that you have the 3" B/L shouldn't be a problem, but correct me if I'm wrong. Where r u at with the Hydro assist?

You will love it. I have one in my 45 project. Push button 3:1. You do have to cut the tank and the floor. You could do a body lift a maybe not cut the floor.
