Those springs look awesome! Where'd you get those and how much did they run you? Did you get lift over the stock pack?

i used some old rusted fenders from my parts truck, i traced the fender line then i moved it and inch lower. used an angle grinder, made a groove first and then went over it few more times.

Heres how to fix the power steering reservoir issue after body lift. i had it zip tied for so long but that caused it to move around to much and eventually hoses started leaking. so i ended up getting some hydraulic hoses from autozone to replace the old leaky ones. theres two sizes that you will need 3/8 and 5/8, i got them 14 inches long just to make sure i had enough. had to trim it down a bit after. while i was at it i cleaned the reservoir and replaced most of the fluid. Props to CaseyCamby for giving me the sizes.

That looks really good! I really dig the fender line; I just wish we could replicate it on the rear without losing the function of the doors. Throw a 20" bar above the winch and maybe a couple of flush mount pods on the bumper and you should be set for lighting for a little bit.
