    never ending..
    looks simple enough, I am not a huge fan of heim joints so maybe this mod is out of the picture for me.. too much bad luck in them wearing out stupid fast on me.

    Appreciate your input. I will give it some thought and maybe down the road.

    Here are some pics of the bed structure cracks mentioned earlier today :

    Just so everyone is clear about the corner we are referring too, it is the lower corner of the bed just above the tailgate hinge :

    Tires rubbing the shock body. I'll have to try the Spidertrax spacers I put off installing. FML!

    Did you somehow think when I told you that you must use the 1 1/4" spacers to clear the shocks that I was joking ? o_O :evil::facepalm:

    When you use the spacers you will flex even more too...

    Oh wait...it's better than that - It wasn't just " advice " I sold him all of that stuff off of my truck as a complete kit...I bet @Glueman is the kind of dude that builds IKEA furniture without reading the directions and wonders why he has 3 cams and 4 dowels left over :boink::rofl:

    I always use the directions and usually have a couple mystery pieces left over lol. I'm seriously convinced IKEA puts them to fuck with us

    6 inch Douche Bag lift...what else do I need?
    No, butthole. I have a better excuse. I was too busy to take two wheels off and bolt them on.... wait, nevermind....

    Actually I wanted to see if I could get away without using them after I moved the lower shock mounts inward as far as possible:


    Obviously no such luck but you try shit and see what happens right? Now wheel spacers are on and all plastic has been cut back. Thanks for the help @Evenflow !

    Yeah, unfortunately you can move the bottom of the shock a foot but the top of the shock stays nearly stationary. I had the shock hoops like an 1/8" off of the inner bed / fender and still needed the spacers.
