'72 Frame Up Rebuild - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The quality is fine but I'd bet you can get all of that cheaper through one of the vendors here on the board. Are ya sure you gotta trim? Usually 35's will fit with no trimmin'. I've seen 35's on one with no lift, lol. It didn't look like it rubbed either. I know 33's will fit with no lift. You might question them about. Looks like they checked in the pics but hmmmm. Nice progress though, git r done! Wish I had a lift, lol.

I WISH that was my shop.

That is MTO 4x4 here in Fort Collins.

I don't have the room to do that and frankly I don't have the time or knowledge for most of it.

So....I just get to go there now and then and check status.

I'll get to do the fun stuff like painting the frame and axles....that "no brainer" stuff that can be done on weekends.

As for the 35's, we put them on to check with the existing 4" lift and they will fit but not when it gets bumpy and here it's called the Rocky Mountains for a reason, it's gonna get bumpy when it's off road.

It was too close, didn't want any tire rub so trimming was the option I took.

Now, which vendors should I be looking at for that stuff?
