    Enjoy. It's an enormous upgrade. Jelly that you're getting rears. My rear suspension is still mostly stock and hates it's life with the ADS up front.

    This will achieve how much lift? I want what I have with my OME now which is 2.5" what measurements do I need on driver and passenger side. I have about 200 lbs up front running 700lb springs

    Thanks for any info

    Mine are on the truck so I hope that I can fit them in there without removing them.

    I ended up right at 2.5" of lift. I will see how it settles over the next couple of days. I ended up a little over 1.5" on the driver side because the Taco lean is real.

    I was able to sneak these in there on the truck using the same method here

    I even kept the wheel on for good measure. Also FYI if you're putting this much preload on yours, definitely use the spring compressor. It's scary without it.

    Oh man this is a beauty. I'm really debating picking up ADS but those 12" smooths on relocation are just plain awesome. What leaf setup are you running, as well as how do you like the feel and ride of it ??

    Thanks! The bumper is from Brute Force Fab and it is awesome.

    The leaf pack is an HD Dakar leaf pack with another leaf added to make a total of 8, I think. I call it the Super Duty Dakar pack. :rofl:

    Dang I thought it was the C4 bumper. Looks awesome ! How do you like the ride of the super duty dakar pack with the 12" smoothies?

    No C4's bumper for the 3rd gen is a monstrously ugly affair. I'm not biased though. :anonymous:

    The ride is good so far. My bed is fairly unloaded currently and I have them set to 3 clicks from completely open. That feels pretty good. I'm looking forward to having it fully loaded with our bikes and all our gear and seeing how it handles. When I was putting these on this weekend I discovered that my rear tires are cupping from 5100 setup. Glad I caught it relatively early, otherwise I'd need to go up to 35's :D

    Ha woe is you if you just hadn't caught it this early. You'd have a hell of an excuse

    Depends on the bushing set up, if they are an OE Style Rubber Bushing than they should be torqued at ride height, if they are a poly bushing than it shouldn't matter as the bushings are pivoting rather than flexing.

    Thanks! It rides great. Unfortunately the day after I installed them I PCS’d to GA so I haven’t taken them out to flex them, so that’s still to come.

    I’m running ICON RXT leafs currently and they pair well. I’ll eventually pick up some archive garage hammer hangars to get a little more out of this setup.

    The OE staggered setup (one shock on each side of the axle) was to reduce axle wrap. Do you notice more axle wrap after the shock relocation?

    Honestly I don’t notice any more at all. And I came down to GA which is ~5500 ft lower altitude, so I have been enjoying my new found power with the skinny pedal and still haven’t notice any difference at all vs my previous stock location icon 2.0’s

    honestly I like the archive relocation kit better. Just that the BAMF kit was $160 shipped and the archive is like $450. But it’s a good looking shock tower

    Thanks, I installed Saturday and that is about what I have 1 and 7/16" on driver and 1 and 1/16" on passenger. Pretty level. I will drive it around a few days and re measure.
