    Hey @Willbeck that looks like you're running outboard shocks on a first gen. Care to share a link to the build for that?
    Sorry @Croth51 for the thread jack. I'm gonna be building a flatbed and dream of a setup like that...
    Carry on :)

    I saw your setup and was thinking about something similar. But that may not be best with a flatbed. I'd like to see your clearance for the shock. My 285's tend to rub here and there and a good set of shocks isn't a place where I'd like to rub. lol
