Hey Gado....no lift , oem springs, just over the axle. They'll squat a bit, but not much once the winch and front bumper are on.

Thanks for the comps!! Nothing real new to report, except SHOULD have the rest of the tin back by the end of the week.
Toast,
Awesome workmanship on this build mate, it's a real credit to you.
Are your rear flares welded to the panel only where the pics show? Or are they welded on the underside also?
Would you be comfortable using the flares as a jacking point? Would they be strong enough not to bend/buckle do you think?
Cheers,
Gabe

Thanks Gabe....... the rear quarters are bolted along entire perimeter and inside wheel flare,.........i had no intentions of using it for a lift point, 3/16" thick........they better not!!

Hey man! Just found your build! Very serious looking build with some very nice fabwork! We'll have to make it up into the mountains and do some of the passes sometime in the next summer or two.
Keep up the good work!

All4Fun Hijack
Sorry for the hijack. What is this All4Fun of which you speak? And where can I get some more details. My inlaws live in Salida and maybe I can coordinate the timing of our annual summer vacation with some wheeling fun.

Are you anticipating having this ready to wheel by Cruise Moab in May? I'm on the fence about going, and the chance to see this beast on the trail could sway me!

Wasn't familiar with the all4Fun so not as of yet... Let me research it a little and I sure wouldn't mind if it would fit into the schedule!

Bent, cut and welded this 16gauge switch panel, as there was no other place to put them. Mounted the panel on the cage, at first i though it was a little gawdy, but for practicality reasons, it grew on me. Easy to read and reach.
