Welcome Preach. Ya gotta loose the steps.If you don't want to spend the money for a lift but want to lift it to fit 35's.Just get a 2.5'' leveling kit and you can fit 35's and even on your stock rims.Worked for me I used to have a pit named Preacher.We found her in an old abandoned church and we named her Preacher. You should grace us sometime with some scriptures.I know allot of us on here are church going folk.So I'm thinking some ppl wouldn't mind.
