    chris other than the welding and the fact that i overdid it(which i plan to fix:deadhorse: ) i fail to see how this is different geometry wise than a spacer lift

    Its not.....really.....Those top plate spacers are junk, and bad for your truck too. The assembly is now much longer than what was designed to be used in that space.

    I would say the chances are pretty dam good. And if you run it off road, I would say it WILL happen soon.

    I dont think anyone thinks your a prick, but I think most folks on here, have seen, or know someone who has broken a shock from a lift like this. People dont just say no to someone doing a mod for no reason. Most people have had things fail, and try to pass their knowlege on......
