    I am about to try out 888s on my truck, so we will see how that goes.

    Ill have to keep an eye on when you do. I was about to try a 1/4 top spacer to see if it will get it up just a little bit more as my shocks already bang pretty bad with the 887s and going over speed bump so not really wanting more length there, although 5mm or whatever it is probably wouldnt hurt.

    Yeah i bought them since i was planning on shell and towing. Maybe those are just intensifying the rake. They dont budge.

    They are rated for a 600+ lb constant load. If you want a more level stance you can take a leaf out

    My mom took my German shepherd to the vet to stay over night. She said she couldn't get up when she went by while I was at work.

    Now my anxiety is high. I've taken this pup with me since before she was even weened from her mom.

    Not the rubbing it's the god awful rake. I like the rear height. I'm just gonna drive it and save for some coil overs then locking hub conversion. It never ends I suppose.

    I thought it would be enough without going adjustables it is. Just opened more issues with CV angles. I think I can get some more out of the front from 1/4 spacer maybe get me 1/2 inch. My CV fins surprisingly have good clearance and aren't touching static beight that I think I can squeeze a little more out of it.

    I am at a full 2.5" in the front and my boots do not touch either, I think I can get a little more out of them once I raise the front to 3" for 35s.

    I got my sliders and skids today :mudding:
    I’m really glad I went with the aluminum skids. They are much more solid that I expected. Coating on the sliders is nice. It has a sandpaper texture that will be good if someone wants to use it as a step.D703373E-A957-4DC4-8D7C-3D6A10D1D9CC.jpgA08C9119-F26C-43DD-9485-10ECBB3AC2DC.jpg

    Shit seriously?? These are only 600s. I’m about to go to 700s to get more height though and less sway
