    Could not have done it without you buddy! Thanks for the help and pointers.




    Small tweak. After cycling the suspension lock to lock I ran into some fitment issues with the resis. So I moved them. So not incognito. Just sitting at the gas filling up today two different random dudes walked up asking about the suspension. :cool:

    Nearly 500 posts, probably of which 451 are bullshit, I don't blame you at all for asking what may have been asked. It's a new question though!

    Ended up drilling 4 holes in the base of each case and through the bed. Dumped silicon in each hole before running the bolts through. I know I know, you're not supposed to drill holes in them, but whatever. It works and all my crap still stays dry. Hell I've even filled one up with beer and snow before. Never leaked a drop.

    No offense taken. There's some talk of limit straps 15 pages or so back in the build. My suspension actually does the limiting on the rear. My bed cage sits kind of low compared to some other trucks. So at full droop, I can pull the lower shocks bolts and still have another inch of travel out of the shocks. I planned on strapping them, but its been low on the priorety list.

    Exaclty. All the parts that were in boxes and cluttering my garage are now on the truck. My truck is no longer in the garage and the wife now has her 4Runner in there.

    The world is now spinning on its correct axis, hell is having a cold spell, pigs are flying past the building as we speak, and I swear there's a retarded donkey playing hopscotch across the street.
