My 95' has an Overland 2" body lift, 2"+ leaf springs in the back and 1.5"+ coils in the front. It also has Hellwig front and rear sway bars, Rancho RS5000 shocks, and Overland's shock relocation kit. The biggest tires I could get on it without much trimming were Bridgestone Duelers AT 235/70/R16. The rims are Eagle Alloys Series 186. It needs a bigger lift!

It's been awhile,but I think it was made by Lund. Not positive though.It's just plastic,and mounts like vent guards (sticker tape). I remember a selling point for it was that it would help keep the back window cleaner.... it was a good excuse for justifying the purchase to my wife at the time! :whistle:
But I still like the look and its held up well. :supz:

I can find a Lund WindJammer that mounts this way, but it says it's not for dutch doors. Do you recall something like that when you bought yours? Does yours interfere with lift glass at all?

Sorry,don't recall that as a issue when I was ordering. It doesn't interfere with the liftgate at all. You can also see the 3rd brake light with no obstruction also.

When you have a chance, could you look for a logo, part #, or something on it?
