Got the old gas tank out and found some more west Texas. Now to pressure wash the entire under carriage, remove the body lift and install new bushings, and finally get it pushed into the shop.

Truck actually cleaned up pretty good from a pressure washing.

Ya it is. That’s why I need to yank the body lift. 3” body lift makes a bigger difference than you realize. Otherwise it’s the same springs and tires from my last one.

Will it be able to cycle the 37s (no cutting) if you take out the body lift or doesn't matter because it's trail days won't be as rough as the white one?

I’ll have to chop the front fang off and trim the back of the fender about an inch but that’s about it. The way I’ll do it you’ll never know it’s not factory. Not like the sawzall work the PO did on the white one. I prefer the low lift big tire look but also the lower center of gravity and ability to stick it in the shop.

I'm a big fan of a stuffed tire over seeing the entire wheel well

Same here. If I could get away with less than a 4" lift I would but I'm already dangerously close to smashing my oil pan as it is with the crossover steering.
