I have a tailgate swing out that I'm thinking of selling

 

thanks for the head's up on that but that style of swing out isn't exactly what i'm looking for since i want to keep my tailgate. I had a similar idea to your swing out replacing the tailgate yesterday, doodled out where i could weld up a swing out connected to a bed reinforcement bar.
would hold nothing more than a set of maxxtraxx on the inside of the tailgate or a side table to cook on.

I'm in no rush for a swing out or high clearance bumper, figured to check 4WP site this morning and saw they revealed a full line of stuff people could outfit just this week. It's pretty nice for accessibility and i wouldn't need to pay half the cost of a rear bumper in brokerage and shipping fees from the US where most aftermarket bumpers are made.
best way to save money is not to buy anything!

 

I have a pair of brand new, never mounted 1-inch Eibach Lift blocks if anyone needs em. No hardware, just the blocks included.

$80 OBO work? Can bring 'em on Saturday (will only be there from 10-11)

 

@Saturnine
i know you needed 1/4" spacer for the front shock but you asked about block lift didn't you?

 

I also have my OEM Leafs/Struts but Ill clean em up first before posting!

 

I ordered some from 4wp if I decide to go that route. I'm not sure quality matters for a chunk of metal.

 

Igneous or sedimentary rocks? You may have to break out your slide rule and Eng seal to be sure....

 

In other news.... Truck + Trailer + No Driver = Safe?

"This new feature will go to the left-lane automatically if it detects that the car in front of it is driving slower than the speed the SuperCruise is set"

just what I need...a truck and trailer cutting me off while the driver sleeps

 

I'm so hyped to pick up my new rims/tires tonight.

 

They're pretty sweet. Mount them tonight.

 

That's the plan! I'm driving 2 hours from picking them up to my shop to mount haha

 

What did you end up getting?

 

For those of you with sliders and lifted trucks, do you notice a clearance issue getting in and out? Do you hit them with your shins or feet?

 

I just notice the back of my calfs get dirty sliding off the sliders

 

Getting in won't been too much of an issue unless you're a bit shorter, you'll just find yourself grabbing the truck more to hop it - it's getting out that's annoying if you want to keep the back of your legs clean lol

Wife keeps complaining about getting in cause it has a small lift. Thinking sliders/step bars might help. Who new that her complaining that 3 inches is too much lmfao

 

Hahah yeah same problem here - it will definitely help. If you go with 0 degree sliders, they will be better/more useful as steps. I have 20 degree sliders and they kick up a bit close to the body so you just got to be more careful when using them as steps. Overall though, you should be fine. Mine uses them as "steps" to get in.

Plus, the passenger side has the handle to grab when getting in so it shouldn't be an issue after sliders.

 

Oh sick, these will be real nice. Will check out your truck when I pick up the paint pen from you!
