    But use the red upper part of the bumper, and run the tube right snug up against it.

    Also ordered 2.5x10" King piggyback shocks for the rear. I'm trying to purchase the rear shock relocation kit from Solo, but every time I call, they take my info and say their order/invoice guy is going to call me back, but never do. May just have to go to the shop personally. They must be busy.

    Also snagged a set of Deaver J59 rear leaves locally in basically new condition. As soon as I get around to picking up new shackles and bushings along with extended braided steel brake lines, I'll get the rear suspension buttoned up.

    I need sliders, and I need a new rear bumper. The the factory chrome one is a little dented, plus I'm not a fan of chrome.

    new flares make a HUGE difference! I'm still jealous of the SCS wheels though

    Yeah, I parked my truck in front of the roll up door at work, and I keep staring at it hahah. It looks so much better.

    You should try and get in on the next round of SCS's. They were worth the wait. Only 19lbs too.

    Got ahold of Solo Motorsports this morning. They're going to put together a rear shock hoop for me so I can run my rear shocks outside the frame, and as high up in the wheel well as possible without going through the bed.

    Hoping that will be done about the same time as King wraps up my shocks. Then it's just cycle and instal :)

    Both are recommended only for 2" shock bodies. After talking to Solo for a bit, we decided with my wheel/tire combo, and a little bit of "eh it'll work" i should be ok with 2.5" shocks. They will be more than fine in a straight line, and rub only lightly when fully flexed out. Im not a rock crawler by any means, so I'm not too worried about that happening often.

    this truck is going to be setup for expo travel, a bid of mild technical stuff, and bombing fire roads, and maybe some trips to Baja. I would like to eventually acquire a Flippac, and with the extra weight of a fridge etc, i thought the 2.5" shocks are a good idea.

    Pretty much as soon as Solo calls and says to come pick up my kit!

    Going to need to break down the leaves and cycle to install the hoops/shocks. Might spend a weekend at the shop for that one. Working to get some time scheduled at Threat Motorsports for the install.
