id say he has a 3" body lift...and the suspension has to be modded somehow, i know our ubolts on nbs's are actually square and the mounting part gos around the axle, his ubolts are actually shaped like a u adn wrap around the ubolt themselves liek the 73-87s, least i think??

I only have a 2in body lift & Ford keys up front cranked just about level with the rear rolling on 305/70/16 baja claws

good eye beastmode:
I swapped the U bolts to the round style that puts the plate on top for a lil more ground clearance

I have a T/A girdle. I like it, but i have no proof that it's stronger, I just know that my gears are cooler from more oil. (It's the same as the Jeg's one).
