Lifted my truck this afternoon

[Ascinder]

I need bigger tires for sure but funds won't allow it right now so I'm just pretending to be an off road truck!

You don't need to buy bigger tires, you just need Justin to Photochop you some *DONK elimination software charges apply

did you get my PM ascinder?

[Ascinder]

Yep, just got home. I need to go dig this beast out of the garage. It's been off for awhile now and has since been buried under a pile of other VX parts. I will say the design I did is fairly overcomplicated, and if I was going to do it again, I'd probably just weld in a permanent plate mount across the frame and bolt the winch down to that. Another thing is that 10 bolt mounts and a lot of welding(warpage) equal a lot of tricky lining up afterwards. You will likely need to get rid of your stock electric fan since it sticks out and is going to be in the way. At least I had to. I wired in a low profile aftermarket fan that worked great. I actually have another one brand new, never installed(I was going to run two, but never got around to it.

Gotcha, ya I was planning on a VERY simple method, chopping up a winch tray with the correct mounting holes and laying it across the frame rails and welding it in place, voila. I was wondering about that fan. Are you getting rif of that aftermarket one? Sorry for thread hijack, we'll just talk in your PM
