    Are you running 2.0's or 2.5's in the rear? I'm really liking the shock hoop, I was thinking about doing something similar with the Icon hydro bumps and double bypass.

    Its a 2.0 smoothie. 2.5 would be overkill unless you're really pushing hard...

    Thanks steve :)

    Thanks :cool: Yes SUA crossed my mind but I wasn't ready to get rid of my expos... when the expos are toast i'll probably go SUA and modify the axle mounts and bumps to work with sua. The gained uptravel of SUA will be nice one day.

    Keep in mind no matter what kit you go with you're going to have to do some fab work to make it work with your setup. Just so many places things can be just a bit different and no leaf pack is the same...

    I only noticed about a 1 mile per gallon drop with my tent on even... Tonneau cover seemed to be a wash on MPG for me. I really liked it for storing stuff tho!

    Few more pictures for fun. Monte, all the pics but the last one are shot with my dads super old Kiron 70-210 :D I got an adapter and it works really well, manual shooting is fun but slow... Camera got really heavy too! haha

    This is full stuff and near full droop I think, no tape measure yet. I'm in WI this weekend...

    Thanks man, I am noticing the edges of some whites or any colors for that matter can have a bit of a goofy edge, like look at the back tractor rim on the front side... Do you know what that's called?

    the purple and pink stuff?

    Chromatic aberration

    in LR, go to Lens Correction. There is a box you can click to help take down that. usually happens on edges of stuff with high contrast i think. I see it sometimes in mine too but i just enable profile correction then the chromatic aberration correction and it helps a lot.
