    get the double bypasses def worth the little bit extra money. At the time there wasn't bypasses I could run since I'm just midtravel and needed a shorter shock body. The bypasses will give you finer adjustment and be able to adjust rebound.

    Just waiting on some threaded bungs to arrive. My skid plate mount holes on the frame are stripped and have been redrilled and tapped twice before, so I've run out of room (can't fit a larger size bolt in the skid plate).

    I'm using the flat bottom of my all pro skid and welding a new piece (probably with tube supports as well) to link the flat bottom skid and the upper aluminum skid.

    Trying to keep weight down by only putting steel where I am most likely to need it.

    I have a sheet of 3/8'' steel waiting to become a transmission and transfer case skid; I just need to get the engine skid mounted and re-route the exhaust.

    well have him hit me up with what he wants me to get as far as info and Id be more than happy to help him out. Only reason I am not going with them is I am trying to get a 3 tube.

    For a bedcage the typical length is a 16", correct? The top mount wont be higher then the railing

    i dont know and I prefer to not find out. I would rather get a step above what I might need then spend more money later. Plus I am in no hurry since I am still waiting on hardware and still needing to design a bedcage

    when riding with paden yesterday at the meet, he has a set of double up front Icon. We turned the compression all the way up and still needed a little bit more. Yes this is on the front and there is more weight but sometimes I got a boatload of weight in the rear for camping and such and would like to just have that little bit of flexibility.

    I wanted the TT bedsides but with the way Glassworks is the 3-4 month lead time was defintely going to take more like a year or so
