              Two inch springs, and two inch body pucks. Plenty enough for the 35 Nittos. They measure right at 35" too. No rubs so far.

              My BFG 35" muds on my JK were like 33.5...

                Is that a matte silver or matte clearcoat? Or just really evenly faded?...either way, it looks good.
                That is a custom (haha) blend of Rusto grey and aluminum. I have twenty bux in that paint job!

                          Boy howdy that looks good! I've been thinking about building one myself but haven't really decided what approach to take. That looks really sharp though. I'd just worry about rubbing on the bed. I tend to get my truck pretty twisted up sometimes.

                              I'm not a flatbed fan at all, but you've almost changed my mind. That looks terrific.

                              Love the home-made ac also. I see the fan through your windshield.

                              I remember seeing you in the TJ forum at Jeepforum.
