The BEAST's altitude adjustment

Just before and after pics. It's nothing major, just a Roger Brown 1" bodylift.
Before......






After.......





All in all, took 'bout 4 1/2 hours, stopping to smoke and drink tons of coffee.

Lol, if I could find BFG A/T 33x10.5 15's for $146 a tire, I'd buy them instead of the 31's I'm buying next month! But I'd need to re-gear for the 33's. All in due time.....

tony... WHY DID YOU PAINT YOUR CHROME?!?!?!

that was one of the nicest parts on your truck!!!!
bah... still looks great... good idea of what my "Beast" (lol@ Dave) is gonna look like when i get the 1.5" BL...
where did you get the front bumper valence blockoff panel thingy? looks wicked...

dont EVER get rid of the stripe...

and you arent gonna be able to find a deal that good on the BFG A/Ts...
best deal i found was 167 a tire and that was 7 bucks above what THEY paid for the tire... and if i bought the tires for that much i needed to have cash to pick them up...

honestly, if your dead nuts set on the A/Ts, see if theres an America's Tire or Discount Tire around... they are the cheapest ive found... if not then order em here and drive down to get em...

I haven't painted anything on my rig. The headlight bezels were already black when I bought the truck. The cheapest place out here for BFG's, is 4WheelParts, $147 a tire. I got rid of the valance. Was all bent to hell, and can't stand the way they look.

It's just the 1" bodylift and 2" coil spacers in the back.

Lol, I had that in the back of my head I was typing my last responce. What he has in place of the valance, IIRC is from Sonoran(sp?)Steel piece. He sold them for the mini-trucks a few years back. I don't know if he still makes them. I'm thinking of checking out the website, to see if he still does. I think it was around $120 or so.....
