Where did you order these from. I heard they had to make changes for the 06 because of the revised height of the 06+

Nice pics, do you have any from an angle?? I want to see how tucked in the stock wheels are, I have been thinking about getting springs, but the stock wheels dont have the greatest offset (unless you install spacers).

What's up neighbor? Mine has settled a lot more, the rear has 1 finger clearance, the front has 1.25 right now.

I just cleaned mine up today, waxed the front to keep the bugs from sticking so bad.
