In about 2-3 weeks I am going to be installing a new lift and tires along with a rear cv shaft and a few other odds and ends. The date is not set yet but once I figure it out I will let everyone know when and where.

Here is a sample of what is going on it.

6.5" RC Long Arm :)

Tire in the 35" 12.50 15 flavor... :evil1)

I can't wait!

Ohhhh Fuuuudggggge! Everyone is out of the lift and they dont know when they will be available, even RC. :cry:

Not the news I wanted. Looking at my options...

edit: RC should be able to get it to me by the 19th or 22nd.

I feel your pain with the KM2. They told me 3/16 when I ordered. Called the store to check the status today and they asked if I would be interested in some other tires as the KM2 may not be in the store till the end of April :banghead)

Might be getting the MTR w/kevlar or the Mickey Thompson MTZ :dknow)

Crap! I am beginning to think Im not going to make the april coal creek trip. I cant go if the tires and lift dont make it here in time. I am going to start looking at other tires. I like the mtr/k but I just dont think its what I am looking for. We will see.

AWESOME! RC makes a good lift, only problems I've ever heard are fitment of brake line relocator brackets and minor stuff like that.

The long arms were the only part on BO. They told me they will have the arms back from paint today and all they have to do is put them together and should ship this week.

Sweet!

I'm off work for 9 days starting next Friday. Let me know when you're going to put the lift on.

Found the KM2's local. I have no idea when the lift will go on. RC keeps pushing it back a week and if I dont have the long arms I cant put it on. Once they tell me it is shipped I will figure something out.
