    I guess I meant Fiberbwerx and McNeil would be more likely to make a pair - maybe guys are using a conversion set or all dovetail, but 2nd and 3rd gens definitely have super wide glass up front like @DTFtacoma and @Hippiglass so I'd imagine they'd sell some sets of 8-10" bedsides once they design some.

    Second little drive and this time in some dirt. Pulled the add a leaf out and it’s sitting much closer to where I want it for ride height so this will probably be where it sits.



    Bad luck with u-bolts and center pins cost me probably 3 hours of running around town and cutting shit off which was frustrating. But got it done.

    In the dirt the rear seemed to have a good bit of side to side movement even with the shackle sliders so I ordered up some delrin upper shackle bushings to try and keep the flex down some.

    But talking about flex...





    The high tire started rubbing bumper so I’ll need to trim that up some more to truly fully flex it out.

    I need to quit cutting up this bumper if I ever want to get money for it to build a new one some day lol

    DMZ and new setup both about 1-1.5”. DMZ needed it with my weight but it was way too tall with the new setup.

    The third longest full leaf. The top one is only a half leaf for some reason so not sure how to count that properly.

    You won't be disappointed when you get your truck back. The quality and attention to detail their shop puts into their builds is top notch!
