Sweet! Time for some bigger rubber!

I remember once in HS we put a body lift on my buddies chebby while we drank a few brews... As we looked at the finished product, I noticed a large amount of "left over parts", the redneck that he was he said, **** it... Drove it anway.

Looks good! Check out my gallary to see how I mounted some GM towhooks with my body lift. It really cleans up the front end.
Also, the not being able to offroad with a body lift is another urban legend. There are members here and at FTW that do some serious offroading with body lifts and have never had a problem.

Looks good. Do you have any more pics of your gap guards and an explanation of them?

All I did was take 4 foot pices of 3 in flat stock and weld them to the crush blocks. Then welded the crush blocks to the frame, coated with spray on undercoating. I will take so closer pictures tomorrow.

I am going to take the front bumper off again and get it a little higher. I am going to take a little more off the front of the fram and I am looking at some hooks like these.
