well maybe i need to enrole in the redzook school of how to modify and drive an offroad vehicle. Seems you know everything there is to know about the subject.
I build my rigs to suit myself & my driving habits, i can appreciate negative critacism to a point, however, the truck is still on 4 wheels and only time will tell if the height will be a negative factor, until then......hmmmm we'll just have to wait and see.
Maybe i have plans for other ways o-f compensating for the extra height, you never know.

SPOA
+3" shackles
+2" body
-------------
= uber tall

what tyres are you running that warrants this much lift? you need some trackwidth or keep well away from offcambers.

looks good

doesn't look that high . spoa plus 2" body lift is pretty standard (in my veiw ) plus three inch extended shackles is only another 1.5" mines the same but with out the ext shackles but has 2" springs(now pretty flat) and its a narrow track only flopped it once , but i guess i drive different terrain than others (supposedly) , (but putting my lux diffs in after tax) . you coming to berridale ?
if its worth doing do it intensly , better still do it with MADPASSION

set your limits way beyond your abilities

Did some more on the front shock towers on Saturday, They're extended by 220mm, they now extend through the inner guard and into the engine bay.
The Flex situation seems to work on the hoist. Will find out next week in the dirt @ Hillsborough Quarry.
More Soon....
