    What are you thinking for a rear shock relocation? Don't know if I'd do much more than just weld on new shock tabs when you do a u bolt flip.

    Probably square the frame or just put tube on top of the frame like Speedytech did. But that’s one of the last things I’ll do. Well it’ll be next after a rear bumper

    Looks like an interesting idea. Don't know how much different it'll feel or if there's much of a difference unless you go with 2.5s

    If I were to do a shock relocation, I'd be looking at out boarding the rear shocks to the outside of the frame. Better stability and less body roll. If you go with 2.5s, that would help a ton with controlling weight.

    Pretty sure I'm going with the 2.0s but it's been a minute since I've looked at any of that. I just know if I were to go outside the frame I'm rubbing on the shocks and I don't want to go with spacers back there. Plus boxing the frame helps too. But that's probably a year away

    You’re going to love it. I would hate my truck if I had to drive it everywhere I go. Haha

    TC UCA gussets and steering rack bushings in, hopefully ordering my steering rack this week as well as materials for a mid skid. I want all of this done before the AOP trip in October so I've got about a month and a half or so:fingerscrossed:

    Going to be the shortest month & a half or so for those with wrenching to get done, and the longest for those of us who are just waiting to wheel. Haha. Barring some disaster at Turkey bay this week, my shit is ready to roll.

    Yeah at least I'm not needing this thing to get to work everyday so I can tear it apart during the week and leave it. But I need to get a move on some things here soon haha

    I've got some too! They are brand new Vatozone ones (replacements for my broken ones) but it'll at least get me home if that happens
