Not always.Moving the GT forward 1.5" would be nice for departure angle.

That's why we did yours first. I didn't want to fuck mine upBlaine definitely does it very clean, we probably should have plated the inside and ground the outside flat like this. It crossed my mind but we talked about plating inner and outer, after we plated the outer we decided that was probably enough .
It’s very impressive in person. I wish I could have made it to TJ Fest because I’m sure some would have liked to have seen the work close up. If you didn’t know what you were looking for you’d never know it wasn’t factory.Blaine definitely does it very clean, we probably should have plated the inside and ground the outside flat like this.

Each one is an incremental improvement, get one more practice on @strumble8 's rig before yoursThat's why we did yours first. I didn't want to fuck mine up
Blaine's is super sharp.
What do you do with the rear trackbar if you move the GT forward 1.5”?Not always. View attachment 268881
What track bar...What do you do with the rear trackbar if you move the GT forward 1.5”?
Never mind the axle at full bump. Where did this idea of moving the tank forward come from?What track bar...
We didn't move the tank forward, we moved it back so it could go up.What do you do with the rear trackbar if you move the GT forward 1.5”?
If I'm following, you do the frame tuck, then use the space back behind the gas tank to move it back and get more clearance up? Does this entail moving the gas tank crossmember or using some other mounting system for the front of the GTS? I'm interested in doing this.We didn't move the tank forward, we moved it back so it could go up.
It requires more enthusiasm than most will commit to.If I'm following, you do the frame tuck, then use the space back behind the gas tank to move it back and get more clearance up?

That is totally cool. I have always hated how much the GTS hangs down. That is super neat what you did. Absolutely love it. You have pretty much done it all. If I ever decide to do this, I'll be asking some more questions. Thanks.It requires more enthusiasm than most will commit to.

How far does that raise it from stock?It requires more enthusiasm than most will commit to.

Close to or right at 4.5". Frame went up 1.25" to get rid of the lift pucks, then I cut and sectioned the Savvy flanges to raise the skid and the Savvy is higher than stock in the lower position. Rather than move the skid crossmember, I added to the front of the Savvy flange to reach the original bolts.How far does that raise it from stock?

I do have enthusiasm…. Just maybe not that much lol. The premise seems simple but I’m sure executing it well has it’s challenges. I would be hearing a lot of “what’d you fuck up this time?”s during that project
That's when you know it's done correctly!If you didn’t know what you were looking for you’d never know it wasn’t factory.
In our world, where 1/4" makes a difference, this is miles. Wow, wow, and wow!Close to or right at 4.5".
It's on the list!It requires more enthusiasm than most will commit to.
