Re: New 38s

Crossover helps when you lift it more than 4". To fit those 38s you're going to need more than that or some alone time with a sawzall.

Look at Off Road Designs for good service and prices. You can get a junkyard 2WD box to keep the cost down with their components.

For better info, we need to know truck specs: Year, type, axles, lift type and amount, etc.
