    Yeah until I drill an offset hole in the bracket for the light. I need to rewire the switch for the lights, they currently aren't working.

    If you want to put a lift on, I suggest OME. To maintain factory height, get Firestone airbags and a compressor. With airbags, as you add weight, you can increase th air pressure in them to raise the height back up.

    Its an easy trail just rocky and it takes about 2 hours to get to the top. I would recommend at least have skids and a slight lift, there some larger rocks from time to time that you might drag on.

    I went this route and got a good 4 inches of lift. The ride is 10x better than my aal and it feels good to say I built the leaf pack on my own. I'm sure you could add in more leafs and get 6 inches. Doug is super knowledgeable about this stuff.

    Has nothing to do with the shock itself. Its the rock guard. Least when doing @Kappes03 thats pretty much what i remember the bracket really being for. Dont see any reason if you didnt want the rock guard you couldnt just use the stock mounting location

    Now I'm thinking about a coupler that would mate the two together. Or, I just got an email from ARB and donaldson.com will make one in any size.
