The rear tire has 50" inbetween it and the ground;

Who says that 22" of lift won't flex :D.
Here is a link to the gallery;

Hopefully this works;

That is simply amazing to me. I bet a lot of people said it couldn't be done, too, right? Way to go!

Looks good to me. You might want to upgrade the tow rig though, that one looks like it might not quite be strong enough to haul your truck around :D Anyway are those old Jimmy axles? What transfer case did you use? Have fun with it!

I noticed that the front passangers side tire looks backwards. I've hear on boggers that helps if you have to back out. If that is what you were going for how well does it work and are there any down sides?

Blair, Yes those are GMC 2.5 ton axles, and we are running the GMC 2.5 ton transfer case, the front axle is reverse rotation (not to be confused with reverse cut), so we had to use the GMC t-case to keep the front running high pinion.

89blazer, to be perfectly honest, that was a mistake, we mounted the tire on the wheel backwards by accident, and at this point it doesn't make any difference at all as far as backing out, because we still have to get the T-case set up so it has 4x in reverse. The 2.5 ton GMC t-case we are using is a strange setup, it hs to be shifted depending on which direction you are going, and we don't have the shifter set up yet, so it only has 4x when going forward.

Yes it is, good eye ;). It has come a long way, but it has a long way to go, too. We still have a lot more planned for it :D.
