    I would hope they have some lying around... depends on where they ship from though. If they have a warehouse somewhere else they might not. I would think that they probably have some lying around there in their offices though.

    Okay the Leaf Pack is installed. Extended Brake Lines installed. Shocks are still an issue but my cousin is involved in off-road racing teams and had a hook up at Walker Evans. I'm doing everything I can to grab a pair of shocks tomorrow and throw them in so that I can still go on my Big Bear trip with my girlfriend on Tuesday. I know that you can drive without rear shocks but I don't want to drive all the way to Big Bear on icy mountain roads that way.

    I'll keep this updated with the progress and hopefully I'll have a fully redone rear set up tomorrow!

    My parents cook christmas dinner for our old church every year (even though they now live up in Cambria), so I went down to help them out and surprise them.

    Well shit man. I lived in La Habra from 3rd grade until I went to college. I went to Sonora High School. Lived up on Arbolita Dr. off of Harbor before you went up and over the hill

    It took way more of an ordeal than I would have hoped, but my expos are installed. I love the ride and the height I got.

    Looks so awesome bro!! Good work!! Did you do them by yourself? If so it can be pretty damn difficult with how heavy and unwieldy those leaf springs are. It helps to have an extra set of hands with you.

    Originally, @logcabinwc and I tried but ran into a few speedbumps. So I ended up taking it to my dads friends shop and put it on a lift. Fun stuff!

    Here is our first attempt
