Thanks for all the replies guys. The lift is about 6" with an additional 3" body for about 9". the tires and wheels are 39.5"X15X15 on 12x15" rims. It does sit really tall in the driveway.

I plan to run it with just a bolt in roll bar. I have one that mounts to the rear behind the tubs so it gives protection for the driver passenger as well as the rear seat passengers also. No extreme rock crawlin' for me. just a play rig to go muddin' and trail climbin' with. My family and I love to go camping. So it will spnd most of it's time near a lake or river somewhere.

yes that is my son, Cam (he's 5), he loves the truck. He named it for me. "Rusty". Funny story is he named it that, not because it had some rust on it. He named it after the horse on Seinfeld that pulled the carriage. you know the one that Kramer fed a whole can of Beef-O-Reeno. "Ohhh Rusty!!".

I still have alot of work to do. but it is coming along. thanks for the encouraging words. it helps to get feedback to keep me motivated.
