    A few weeks ago I decided to add 1/2" blocks under the leafs because the front was sitting a little higher , now it sits almost level and I'm happy with how the truck looks.
    Somebody told me today that's not a good idea . He didn't give me any reasons why !
    But I'm assuming 1/2" block is not gonna hurt anything right ?
    Thoughts ...

    Does anyone have and info or pictures of the resz light bar? It is a roof mount bar with 3 led light bars on it. Anything would be great. I just am curious how far it is away from the roof line and how it mounts. I don't want it to look funny up there. Thank you

    Any suspension changes should have an alignment per manufacturer spec...but I can't imagine that 0.5" blocks under the rear is going to harm anything as long as everything is appropriately tightened/torqued to spec, and you haven't noted any changes in handling.

    Truck drives the same , I can't tell any difference at all.
    I talked with two different shops and they told me that I don't need to do an alignment.
    Only if I add 1" or more ...
    How do I know if is torqued to spec?

    Looks like it sticks out [especially in the middle] "pretty far" to use some rough and inadequate measuring.

    It also looks like it mounts via the roof rack rails/similar to the OEM roof rack and prinsu.

    I'm sure it's fine then. Depending on what you changed, some of the bolts are supposed to be retorqued to a specific number. Offhand, I can't tell you what but if it's just a spacer kit I'm sure it's either noted in the paperwork or non-important. Or both!

    Not gonna affect the differential? Or I'm gonna have to replace any bushings because the angle is different ?
    I know they replaced the AAD bearing before when the put the leveling kit in the front ...

    Clean! I ordered a pelfreybilt tray for a fuse box but I'm thinking this may be the better way to go. Did you fab up that mounting plate?

    That bumper is massive, how much does that thing weigh? Any pics from the front?

    Is that winch bumper from Relentless? If so, how much cutting of the bumper is there?
