    I believe I'm at 22.5" from center hub to fender. That's eyeballing where the tape falls on the center of the hub.

    You can use a piece of 2x4 against the centercap and measure up to the fender, but that's probably close enough. Thanks!

    i went back and measured and I’m at 23” from center of hub to fender. Using a level and a tape measure. So, 2” of lift with my weight.

    edit*** actually, looking at my first measurements (stock) with 31” tires, I must have been sitting at 21.5” center hub to fender from the factory. So, back to 1.5” lift.

    Okay, that's better. Just got back from the shop.

    @10mm preload:
    Center hub to fender: 21" front, 23" rear

    @15mm preload:
    Center hub to fender: 22" front, 23" rear

    It actually feels even better driving, at least on the street. I think it was under sprung. I must have more weight on the front than I realized, even without a bumper. Probably from all the crap I have on my roof. :rofl:

    Weight adders: ARB recovery point, aluminum skids (TRD front, RCI mid and transfer case, Victory gas tank), Victory Blitz sliders, upTOP roof rack (with 60" Hi-lift Extreme, 2x 50" cases with recovery gear, 4x Maxtrax, 23zero 180R awning), Softopper, full size spare in stock location

    2nd gen- curious if the mounting brackets are sold separately. It appears that way on 4WP, but can’t seem to find any solid evidence on how they’re sold. Also, I’m buying just the shocks, not a kit. I already have Dakars.

    Brackets to mount the reservoirs. I just bought extended Kings with adjustables so nvm haha. I had too many questions and concerns with the BP-51s so I went with my first pick.

    3rd Gen, but all the kits I saw came with the brackets required. Only option was on getting rear springs or no. The instructions did not say anywhere anything like, "If you purchased the kit with brackets do A, and if not, do B..." There is no way to take the resi off the shock as the entire system is pressurized with nitrogen.

    What did you guys do with the bracket for the ebrake line?
    If I attach mine to the hole in the leaf spring where it used to be on my old springs it will rip the brake like out at full droop/flex.

    Awesome. Probably hack that bracket off then. I zip tied them were they’re supposed to go. That didn’t last long...

    Holy Flexure Batman! I'll have to try jacking my truck back up to see if mine bind up at full droop. When I put them on it didn't look like where mine were would pull more than stock springs. Would rather not have to have that repair done though. Looks like a great trail.

    Sooo, I just checked mine and the bracket is screwed in to the leaf pack, but it had backed off a ton. Almost to the point of falling off. I'm wondering if the cable has been slowly yanking on the bracket, ripping it away from the leaf pack this whole time.

    Yeah I totally forgot to mention that a few months ago when I installed the suspension.
    I had the truck jacked up and all the weight off the axle (full droop) and went to install the brake line bracket and said “uh this is going to go bad if I put that on” so I ziptied it.
    I’m running the HD Leaf Pack.

    I did have about 6-700lbs worth of Go Fast Camper, drawer build and camping gear in the back but I recently sold the GFC. Ordered up a different camper. ;)

    It surprising doesn’t ride as stiff as I was expecting.

    For now I’m enjoying using my truck for truck things and hitting the tougher trails I don’t normally like to do with campers in the bed.
