Yes, I was able to slide the front's out without cutting anything at all. I plan to reinstall them after I get the perch collars



They ride great, very similar to the KO3's, maybe a little more road noise.



They sit pretty close to even with the top of the flare. Slightest pit of poke maybe, I'll add a few more pictures.

Even with perch collars installed you will run into the same issue with the crash bars. Improving castor will with a an adjustable uca would be the only thing to positively affect that area. I have a 2" level and I was still contacting the crash bars with my 35's during full lock in reverse and upon compression.

These trucks just don't want 35's unfortunately. Between messing with the internal bypass on the shocks and rubbing.

Oh, they want them lol ! Remove the crash bars and get the proper alignment with an adjustable UCA. I’m running stock UCA and no crash bars. All good here. Plus I’m running a 35x11.50.

I installed Foutz 2.5" Collars in the front and 2.0" in the rear. I was able to leave the rear crash bars in place so far, I haven't been able to completely flex everything out to confirm full articulation clearance but for regular driving and fast unimproved roads I have not had any contact.

Before the Collars

After:

Picked up just about 2.5" in the front and just under 2" in the rear.

How did the ride change after installing the lift collars?
