Yes a hammer is the best tool I own. Particularly this huge vaughn framing hammer I have. That fvcker is nasty. Tom my tires do not rub at all, make sure you pic a wheel with a nice positive offset or even zero and this will help.. Those pictures are with the 20s but I have switched righteyeblind for his 18s that have a little taller rubber, and now his truck is completely blacked out. We are actually getting ready to paint the front end now. I got it all washed today but its dark now, ill get pics tomorrow. my front and rear bumpers are now bedlined (i do live where it snows, and wanted them all black so paint wasnt gonna cut it) and its really low but I reworked my exhaust and some other shit so I can still run my traction bars.
Thanks all for the compliments.

The proper term for a "hammer" is "BFH". The larger the better.

Every shadetree mechanic/carpenter knows that. :rofl:

I actually have a mallet with that written on it. I don't even think I qualify as a shade tree mechanic. What do us dumb 20 year olds in Reno know anyway?

Jordan,

Whats the distance between the axle housing and the frame? Is it about 4 1/2", I ask because it gives me a clue what mine will look like with 20"s.

Thanks Man.:D
