    6 inch Douche Bag lift...what else do I need?
    So when you ran the spacers and you fully stuffed the tire (35's?) how much space was between the tire and the shock? Just wondering because the tire just barely rubbed the shock when I took the picture.

    I don't remember exactly buddy I just remember zero rub after the spacers.

    2 ideas for ya' :

    1. If you are happy with the amount of flex that you have and want to avoid using the spacers you could always just use those bigger bumps I sent you ....problem solved.

    2. If you only need a 1/4" of clearance you could get away with just swapping out your rear studs to longer ARP's and then just use a 1/4" spacer...your mechanic buddy could prob swap the studs for you pretty easily ?

    What's involved in getting those off? Is it three plug welds holding them on?

    yup the front two have 3 spot welds and the rear 2 only have two, i used an air belt sander. it worked really well! maybe a half an hour to do all eight tabs

    Sweet, thanks. I'll be doing this sometime soon, just wasn't sure how bad it would be getting them off.

    More like time consuming if you dont preweld the the tabs prior.

    The fastest and easiest way to remove them is by using a spot weld cutter drill bit, takes 5 seconds per spot weld.

    Sweet vid, nice jump!

    Any plans to revalve? Air between the tires and the ground changes everything! Haha

    Not really, I just revalved everything and it is working really well for everything but jumping, and don't plan on jumping (that big) again. I know my truck isn't built for it and it is hard on shit, I just couldn't resist though. The smaller jumps felt really good, I got a little too throttle happy on that one . . .

    Jumping trucks with tire gates ...not sure if that is brave or silly ? Did anyone break a tire gate ? It is a really good idea to pull your spare off the gate and strap it in the bed when performing such Tom foolery

    No, nothing broke. Agreed, but where is the fun in that.
