Yes, his is a really good example i forgot to mention. Hats off to Sweater.

Actually, my friend Bob - he did a massive amount of the fab work, and Matt Brown for sending me tons of pics of Doug's SAS'd Rodeo. (thanks again, Matt!!!)

For what it's worth: I'm going to 35's by this time next year, always a goal. But I'm chopping fenders and bumpers rather than go up any more to clear them. As the pic in my profile (at left) shows, being up high can be super freaky...

My plan all along for the on road and off was the spring under front but I was wanting to see how Sweater worked out the oil pan issues

I don't get it - I have no issues with this! The only thing that got me was the steering. I went with stock Waggy TRE's, though. Didn't mill the passenger's knuckle and then do that schweet crossover shown above. Also, the axle will come up and compress against the pitman arm, but that was solved by a custom ($40) pitman arm. Got a stock one, cut the end with the splines, made one 1" longer and with 1" less drop and it solved two things: gave me more room with the axle moving up, and quickened steering.

All and all, my truck is a very forgiving daily driver. Although my wife doesn't feel super comfortable in it, we'll do the drive to Moab with no problems and only a couple of gas/rest/burrito breaks.
