Jason-
I can hi-lift on my rails, they are out just enough.
I'm doing the front end. Me and my buddy work on 4 wheel drives on the
side. We figure it will take a little over a week. All custom!!
As for the coil-overs, King is the name brand. They are really big in
the C.O.R.E. races. A buddy that races uses these, and swears by them.
I'm going to be starting on the rear bumper next week, I hope. When it's
do, I'll post some pics.
I live in Illinois, long drive to get to all the real 4 wheeling spots,
but its well worth it!!
