    Little of this and a little of that
    I was thinking about this part too. I went ahead and picked up some ¼" spacers just in case. If goes past that I agree it'll buff out. :rofl:

    The 5 lug housing is different than the 6 lug, the leaf spring perches are different, not sure if it’s the same width, the 3rd member should bolt in though

    I'll be doing that with Kevin soon HOPEFULLY. I did get the SPC removal tool that might make cutting unnecessary though

    strapped it 5/16 of an inch from shock bottoming out. CV will also come to play. check your clearances there as well. Strap will stretch about 1/4 inch.

    I didn't check after my brake change because I didn't loose much at all even swapping my cylinders but I will be checking as soon as I get home now. Thanks!

    It is the Joying unit and I couldn't be happier (well, I'd be happier if it had satellite radio but otherwise, couldn't be happier).
