    Honestly, if I wall mount it and had a bigger diameter top mount, and better way of securing the top and bottom from lateral ejection it wouldn't be a bad way to do it. .

    Back in high school, doing all of our mods out of my buddies dads wood working garage, we would use those "quick grips" clamps and clamp them as tight on springs as we could. Then the bravest (drunkest) soul would ratchet off the struts top bolt and we would pull the "compressed" spring out. We would then kick at the quick grips and hope the spring didn't come flying at us or the vehicle we were working on.

    The snow in S. Everett was another crushing disappointment, it was barely visible without a magnifying glass :(

    a couple of us are going on a Greenwater area snow run tomorrow and I think we are down to 2 trucks. Would be more comfortable with at least one more. Anyone want to go?

    I’m interested. Who else is going?

    Though, if it’s deep snow and you two are lifted more than my rig, I don’t want to slow you down.

    Great! you'll be fine. If you have to just stay in the ruts. Aren't you lifted around 2.5-3" tho?

    @SilverYeti is going and @Sparky. is guiding us to a spot and then he has head back for an obligation.

    Right on. Yes, 2”. I’ll be there.

    Three inch lifts always look a lot taller I guess.

    Well, I haven't blown up that rear end yet.... Mostly because @Usethe2nd wants it to run while his gears get setup. And when I say torn apart, it's currently on jackstands with the tires off. So not too hard to put the tires back on and come out for a full send. :anonymous::burnrubber:


    But I need to get it back in my garage again. :bananadead:

    @bobsuruncle i didn’t get a picture of it but we ran across a road that they plowed a berm across, blocking the bridge. From what I’m told, you would have been in a familiar spot with us today :rofl:
