    Love the pic of your J20! Looks like great clearance everywhere and a perfect stance.
    Eventually I'd like to give me GW a lift, but the wifey is a half-squat at like 5'2" or so, so I'm not too sure how she'd get in it.
    Heh. Thanks. I have no patience for shills, and they're like any other parasite. You think you've got 'em all and here comes another one.

    I guess the awkward ingress and egress is an inevitable consequence of that great ground clearance. I have an eye open for some hoop steps to make it a little easier. Mrs. Monohue and I are both about 5' 7" and it's bordering on impractical. Might go ahead and add a grab handle to the inside of the A-pillar or near the edge of the headliner, too.

    Did you know? Willys is just Willis spelled differently, but pronounced the same. Neither Willy nor his apostrophe are involved.

      I seem to have lost an inch in the last few years myself to just over 5'9" now. Stock height seems easy enough for me on the stock 235/75/15s that translate to a 29" tire.
      I've read I can stick a 31" on the stock 15s in there at stock height so might just go that route at some point (sorry for the thread highjack!).

        the lift and tire combo look perfect darkmonahue

        great truck.

        EDIT: I DID NOT READ OTHE RPOST WELL ENUFF, I AM REPEATING STUFF BELOW, SORRY

        mystic rob,.....steps on the side and "evil twin fab" grab handles that mount on

        the A pillars.....I am only 5'7" and it makes it a breeze with a 3 inch lift.

        tell her how much safer she will be and feel riding high,....

        and how it makes you feel you can run over "a" holes on the road.

        I NEED TO POST BETTER PICS OF THE STEPS WE INSTALLED
        made for new single cab trucks
        my bumper guy made special brackets.mounts
        you can't slide off steps, they are wide and sturdy,...only 169.00
