    Thanks....
    Yeah I enjoy it for the moment...it will start to look like a raisin soon....mine always do...so I'll slap some tight armor and protect it where I can without adding a ton of weight....
    We are headed back to hammers again....I came out with minimal damage last week after KOH and yes we ran the hammers...just good line choice and rock gods were good to me....lol only time I've been and walked out almost unscathed.....

    (Rear bumper died, tow hitch, rear corners underneath, rear driveshaft, and dented the frame pretty good)

    Yeah its gaining steam quick....I will be doing 4wu links fro t and rear very soon....I'll dial this in run it and then I will modify cause its there.....unless I get this totally dialed then maybe just front links....
    I've done leaf set ups oln prerunners in past so I know a little about dialing the progressive nature of a leaf spring...

    The shocks I'll valve Monday or Tuesday...12/15 front and 12/15 rear to start and keep it easy....the bypass should be on pretty spot....and tune with the tubes the front shock may be a little too much rebound for how soft my springs are but I want to add the one leaf back in for a bit more height now that it settled....

    The bumps I'll start out at 200 psi each run it hard and see whats left n shaft till I hit whoops and hard dips....plan is to leave 1/2" of shaft for safety on a "oh $h!t" moment....on the bumps...rear will start out 150psi no weight....

    Fox bumps are from 50 psi to 500psi as far as a workable range....trophy trucks start out at 300 and go from there....

    Hmm… Im thinking about building a tire gate for mine in place of the tail gate. ill Leave the floor though and do a bed cage/headache rack that will tie into a tight exo cage.

    Started the mounts...all boxxed in and will now work on hydraulic bumps and front coil over mounts...(remove hardware and run em till I link).

    After I get them all mounted I'll finish off the rear cage and all the work....it will all be dialed but spread out too get the shocks on and tuned first...then asthetics.

    The rear will all be tied in so no flex...the angle is vertical and triangulated upper so very little side movement its pretty vertical and column loaded...

    Revalved the king bypasses today (12/12) and then cycled it...it moves freely...so hydraulic bumps and front shocks tomorrow and valve them.
    Drops below body line and completely stuffs into wheel well...
    Drives so much better now I'll add some compression on tubes and dial it in after bumps and front are on...
