3" IRO lift - flexed

I finally got a chance to flex my rig after the lift install, I was worried about loosing a front coil so I made some gheto lower coil retainers outta plumber's tape. I'm not sure how close to full flex this is, but the coils were planted firmly in place. I'm barely rubbing on the front and rear bumper covers so I'll give those a little trim. I have the DT8000 shocks with integrated bumpstops, but I might fab-up some extenders for the stock bumpstops anyways, we'll see how I feel about it after the trim. Tires are 265/75/16 KM2's on stock wheels.







rear rubbing

front rubbing
