    Yeah, hydro assist is definitely in the cards. It actually doesn't get too bound up until you get into big rocks, but when its bound up, it's really bound up. I've been weighing my options, and I've almost decided on ordering a kit from trail gear; it seems like nice middle of the road stuff...

    Yep, Forgot to add that I actually had to put a pie cut on the inside flange on each inner fender to get them to bend back far enough. I the re-drilled a hole to allow them to bolt to a flange on the body. They are basically wedged up against the fire wall. Forgot to mention, my wheels are...

    More pics! Just some shots without it flexed up so you can see how it sits and get a better idea of how the fenders are trimmed. Also check out my rear bumper, I took 6" out of the middle and 3" out of the bottom of each end to taper it up and make it look a little cleaner. Lastly, I included...

    I am using the 7.25" shackles in the front and the 6" shackles in the rear. The reason that I used the DIY4X kit was that if you use the stock hangers and move them around it moves the wheels really far forward and in my opinion it makes fender trimming difficult to make look right. The DIY kit...

    In the front I used 52" rear springs for a 1/2 ton chevy truck; I bought new ones from 1973 - 1987 Chevy / GMC 1/2 Ton Rear Leaf Springs. I used hangers and shackles from DIY4X. I cut down the overloads so they would give me lift without any additional stiffness and I also ended up adding an...

    As 12vctd stated, You don't need big lift to clear big tires, just careful trimming and planning. My truck has about 5 inches of lift and clears 39.5's no prob. They measure out at a true 38.5" at 30 psi and are 16.5" wide. Granted I did trim a fair bit of fender, but I still kept the inner...
