    To bring it up close to an inch higher because front sits nearly 2” lower than rear.

    Just went and measured and front at center of hub to fender is 39-3/8 and rear is at 41 so close to 2”. May consider just 1/4” spacer though then it’ll have roughly a 1” rake.

    Yes sorry. And if I add 1/2 spacer definitely need the new studs so 1/4” be better option. Now don’t know if it’s worth the time come to think of it.

    ok, more updates on the robber. he wasn't armed with a gun, but a knife.

    I have video I can't post, but basically you see a female employee walk into the store, followed by the robber, followed by the meat market manager who stops in his tracks 2 female employees run out as he stands there, then he runs out and falls in the lobby area, then the robber shows up chasing him, then the meat market manager runs back into the store tossing a buggy on his way which hits the robber and then they both go out of camera.

    like I said nobody hurt, but dang that had to be terrifying for them all..

    oh, and another fun story I forgot to tell y'all!

    I had to break up a dog fight this weekend...and got bit.

    After I left Brian's we were heading down to Arab to pick Amy's car up from the shop, but she wanted to take the dogs by the dog park to wear them out before we left. So we went by the dog park, and there were already like 7-8 dogs in the big dog section which ours both classify as big...

    this lady brings her blue heeler in there and the damn thing starts herding every dog and like angrily biting their heels and just chasing them and shit, really annoying. but every dog took it ok and just ran away or played it off.

    well, this lady shows up with her 7 month old husky...so we are at like 10 dogs now...and when she walks in all the dogs have to of course go greet the new dog and sniff it. well IMMEDIATELY the heeler starts trying to herd it and it doesn't like that so it snaps back at the heeler which initiates like 6 dogs all going at it and I'm like "aw fuck"....only one other adult male in there with me so I just acted knowing I had to break it up. he thankfully called his ~100lb full blooded german shepard (named Atlas) back to him and it sat like a military trained dog away from the fight. ANOTHER ~100lb german shepard was standing on top of the poor husky that was down on the ground screaming bloody horror...and this german shepards owner was about a 20 year old girl in a cast and had 1 crutch. so I grabbed the GS by the neck but realized it wasn't attacking the husky it was standing over it protecting it from the other 4-5 little shits biting the husky. so I kept a hand on its neck and used my right arm to help push the other dogs off the husky and somehow I got bit on the elbow. nothing bad barely broke skin but I didn't realize it till we left.

    we finally get the husky free and the lady takes it over to the small dog area by itself and checks it out, thankfully it's ok no blood or anything. Amy says she wants to leave but I told her ask if Leo could go play with the husky to give it some play time and the lady let her and they played for 5-10 minutes real behaved and fun and I just kept Oscar on a leash. then we left.

    that damn blue heeler though and the lady never said anything about how it acted or took it out of the fence or anything...

    TLDR: I got bit by a dog breaking up a dog fight but myself and all dogs were fine..

    haha wasn't my idea....I was proud of my dogs for not getting involved though.

    and yes, being near Dave's crotch is bad.

    I haven't heard back from that guy yet, or else I'd take you up on that offer. I'm about to take off to Springville to deliver my factory suspension. A guy is coming all the way from Oxford, MS to buy it.
