    Won't know exactly till I get the bed, topper, and all the other stuff back on. I made a few changes to my leaf pack that will affect my ride height.

    Have about 9" of usable travel. Hoping to be at 50/50 up and down when I get the weight back on it.

    Can you get the upper mount high enough with that? Also, without the welded rod end the lower mount would get even lower.

    Your uniball looks fairly flat. You should be fine with a little more.

    Check for coil bind, if the shock can fully compress without the coils touching, you can add more preload

    Did you just use generic lower mounts?

    Going to have to re-do my lower mounts this summer but at least i know measurements and everything I need after doing it a few times :anonymous:

    What's everyone running for bumpstops? I'll be upgrading from stock soon and was looking at the wheelers super bumps for the front and the Icon Hydro bump kit for the rear.

    They're these:

    http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/R1988-8.html

    I've got them mounted so one side is on the main part of the axle, and the other is where the taper begins. So the 10° brackets fit with only a little grinding.

    I'd get a different mount if you are mounting them where the diameter is consistent. Lots of options from Ruff Stuff.

    Alright thanks. Hoping to angle them a bit more like | | opposed to /\ (like I have them now) but will have to go a bit below the rear end.. oh well. Suppose I'll plate below the mount to protect the rod end

    Note: I have the relentless lower mounts and the shock lower bolts in perpendicular to the axle. Could see the potential to bind

    How do those bumps feel when you hit them compared to stock?
    I've got superbumps up front and they are nice but anytime I slap the rear at the moment I cringe a little... not sure whether to grab those or do superbumps out back as well....

    I'm in the same boat. Have a 3 leaf add a leaf but it's time for a new pack and shocks for that matter... seem to slap my bumps pretty often these days. So looking at bump options as well.

    What springs on the coilovers? Condition? I probably can't afford but I'm curious, and those questions will probably help others too
