    Those expedition leafs are giving me a headache.....

    I need to add another 1.5" of lift to keep the truck leveled plus I need to flip the U bolts for the bump stops.

    Now I need to find round U bolts to compensate the extra length. Anybody good leads on where to look ??

    Auto parts stores, 4wp, and probably most custom truck shops in the area will have some.

    I'm assuming y'all can help me with this- I'm wanting to dump the exhaust and free up a little more clearance. TRD Sport with whatever exhaust came stock on that. Is it as simple as just cutting the pipe, or is there more involved (re-welding a tip, etc)?

    You can just simply cut it before the axle where it turns down.

    I had mine cut off in the rear and retained the last hangar

    Check my build pimp

    Cut the pipe right where it starts to turn toward the tip.

    Haha fair enough :p

    Kiddo's doing well! He sorta kind sleeps- he mostly likes to eat, and since that's really mom's job to handle, it hasn't been too crazy for me! I just gotta convince mom to let me take him to HF in January for a weekend...

    Haha exactly. I'll probably try to dump before the axle and see if I can cut it in such a way as to point it downwards
