Thanks guys for now i just put some spidertrax wheel spacers to bring the back out a little. Don't have the money right now to do anything out back but I plan on deavers and maybe a bed cage down the road.

ended badly?! pshh that's what i do to flex her out. lol

No what really happened is I decided to go with a buddy last night to a place called the "cliffs". I'm wondering how the hell did it get that name since where i live it's mostly flat and I've never been there to see it. He promises that its easy stuff
Truck had no problem at all until i broke over the top of the hill and felt my driver side drop and thump. I fell into a 7 foot hole that gets washed out because of all the water that heads to the bottom into the retention lake. Thats what i get for wheeling at a unknown place in the middle of the night with no spotter. Luckily i was pulled out backwards with no issues and nothing broken.
Figured out how bad i needed a locker. Hmm maybe that will be my next mod

I don't plan on bracing it for now. I don't think it will see the abuse to raise a concern for bracing it.

Things are going kind of slow right now since I'm low on funds and it's taking me forever to recover.
I found a a triple gauge kit in my closet from sunpro to monitor my oil pressure and water temp and voltage so i thought i could do that in the mean time. i ran into an issue since the kit contains SAE adapters and everything on my block is metric. I'll get it working none the less

LT looks awesome. imo i really think you should get it braced. the arms has more leverage now that they are longer. even if you dont plan on doing anything hardcore its good to know that its there. im sure the place that built your bumper can put one in for a fair price considering you already spent a pretty penny with them. looks like its worth it too

rear end will probably start taking shape next summer. Coming up in the next few weeks i plan to get rid of my 4 hellas and replace them with a 30 inch rigid LED light bar.

Hey! Since you're getting your new light bar in, will your 700's be up for grabs?

No worries, she has a spidertrax 1.5 spacer on the rear. The front is actually 1.5 inches wider than the rear with the spacer. If I had gotten the 3 inch spacer it would have matched the front perfectly but I'm not sure on how she would have looked.
