As a newbie, I thought I would share a couple of pics. I have kept the truck stock for several years as I wore down my tires. I recently put on a 3 inch body lift and 295/75/16 tires on the stock wheels. I had little trouble with the 3 inch lift except the shifters, which I am upgrading. (They still function without the rubber boots) I only lifted the bumpers two inches and had to fabricate/adjust the mounts for the TJM bull bar. All the lines and AC seem ok. Someday I will work more functional improvements $$.

good lookin!

What brush guard is that? what about the step bars?

Nice truck, Matt.

Matt,

looks cool. I'm itchin for a TJM too, but I've heard of problems mounting the TJM with a body lift. Do you have any more details on the mounts that you fabricated? do you think that they would be able to handle the pull of a winch?

-thx,

-Paul

very nice. please send me pics of the adjustments for the TJM.

did you keep it strong enough to winch? by raising it, you increased the leverage the winch puts on the brackets. thanks.

Nice ride Matt, that TJM looks great. Keep up the good work.

The bumper is a TJM bull bar. Desert Rat is about the only place I could find them. The nerf bars are from 4 wheel parts wholesalers "Steel Industries". Nothing too special about them although they seemed a little thicker than others I've seen. I welded them on instead of drilling all the holes. They do not mount to the frame rail itself but to the cab mounts. To see a PDF file of how I raised the bumper, see the following temporary link. I don't know how strong it will be. If I get I winch, I may have to do a little more.

Thanks.

TJM bumper lift

Erik,

can you somehow get this TJM info onto your website?

Thanks
