    Because 650s couldn't hold the weight in the long run. I have come to appreciate the 700s tho. I wouldn't describe the ride as plush, but I like it.

    If it was me, I'd either carry more weight in back (all the time) or lower the back by 1" somehow.

    All you have to do is find a sunny week, go to Home Depot and buy a pallet of concrete wait for leafs to de-arch (it happens fast) then return it all (they don't care)

    Got this beauty in the mail today from @tcBob!

    Please ignore the dent from when I was power washing the truck and I didn't secure the spray bit and it shot at the tailgate with the force of a bullet.

    Oh I wasn't joking about that, it's just that everytime there's a ham discussion no one can come to a consensus about anything and I find it hilarious.

    Realized I put the emblems on too low by about 20mm. I'm not sure if I would just peel them off and buy new ones or leave it

    The top and bottom bolts a attached to the other half of the shackle. You have to take it off as one piece. Remove the top nut and remove both at the same time.
