    It seems like you could relocate the spring hanger and run longer leafs that you could swap over to igor when the time comes. Why not do that?

    Not a terrible idea. But a lot of work..small payout. But long term would be nice. Just gonna buy two new AAL for now as I don't know how life will be in three months.

    uhh..not sure. 1/2'' i think..

    If you're looking for some Wheelers sells them. I just go to the parts store though and get new ones when ever i tear the leafs off. The bolts are never straight.

    Something you'd know very little about :luvya:

    Well..at least most would assume decent job security and a place to call home.

    I won't have any of that haha

    I went and measure my eye mounts and it had a diameter of 3/4" I assumed your truck was the same since its only a year older. I don't know mush about shocks but I don't want to order I part thay I cant return without being sure it will fit. Should I say "Fuck it" and order the shock with the 5/8 eye mount ??
