Body & Motor Mount lift
While I had the rig in the shop, I've ordered from Currie their MML (motor mount lift) & BL (body lift).
Had to see how it would look before all the work was done...
Battery tray got a bit rusty due to a cracked battery after the accident... Get 'er cleaned up!
Used the truck bedliner paint, stuff is pretty rugged, as well dont really have to prep to much...

Body lift install was pretty simple, just got to run through the whole process before you start to make sure you are ready for it.
Can be done with some basic tools & floor jack in your driveway.
I've found it to be useful to watch some videos on YouTube, before doing this... Just nice to kind of know what exactly to expect labor/timewise...
(
fyi - i've got nothing to do with ROKMEN - just sharing the video)
PART 1
PART 2 - just search YouTube
Next on the list was installation of the motor mounts, which was especially easy for me, being that I've had the fenders removed...
Now, we are talking...
even without an actual suspension lift, I was surprised how the 35s fit right under there perfectly.
I hope following picture will answer a question that I could never really find an answer for (on many forums)
How far do the tires stick out pass the stock flares... ?????
TIRE:
35/12.50R15 BFG KM2
WHEEL SPECS:
Hutchinson P/N: WA-0398
Size: 15 x 8.0"
Bolt pattern: 5H - 4.5" BCD
Lug style: 60 degrees conical
Hub bore diameter: 2.895" (73.5 mm)
SAE rated load: 2,300 lbs. - 35 psi
Backspacing: 3.63" (92.2 mm)

and may I highly recommend ... SIPING... which does wonders for tires with larger lugs...
p.s.
now, if anyone care to say that its BAD for your tires - doesn't do anything for it - etc... and so on... feel free to comment, but only if you are speaking from your actual personal experience, and not just because someone said so...
and for those who doesn't know how its done... (yes, those were my tires LOL)
