    Oh...and I got another toy while up there too...not quite ready to demo it yet (it'll be installed in a few days), but here's a clue... (Burry will probably get it immediately) (Oh, and look at those fucking welds...can you believe a human being did that?)

    To answer part of your question though. I'm more than happy to do the flips like what's on johns truck. They are by far the best design I've come up with however it's almost impossible to make them universal so I have to have the truck here so I can build to fit. I also can't guarantee if you were to change springs that they would work with them, basically a custom fit deal.

    I had been savin a couple hundred each month since last Sept when the bumper went on, plus my final piece of my sign on bonus from my new job came in this month (after I had been there a full year), so now was the time to strike. I knew it was going to be soon, but breaking the diff again just kind of tipped over the edge. I'm hoping this is the last big spree. All the big $$$ items are done now...it's just little tweaks from now on...

    This past month has been insane. Not all of it has been truck stuff (that's just what I put on here), but I have been VERY busy.

    You, sir, are awesome. Please just keep doing what you're doing. I don't have to tell anyone about the quality of the stuff coming out of your shop...I just tell them to look at it...Thanks for busting ass on things over the weekend...I'm gonna show 'em all that second thing in a few days when I get the exhaust taken care of...

    I told a certain Dyob this might've been part of the reason you weren't offering a "universal" kit. Glad I called that one correctly.

    So basically what you are sayin is you build it to what ever type of spring they plan on running and if any spring change you would have to tweek it

    I don't want to speak for him, but I do know that since shackle length is critical to not inverting the shackle and different springs can change ride height and suspension travel, then swapping springs may result in inappropriate shackle length.

    There may be more to it, but I'll leave that to Kevin to answer.

    I'm still working on another solution. Just takes awhile to compare each tweak against all the various spring combos.

    Right now yes that's what I'm doing. A couple guys have this setup now and it works great. There's just so many variables between all the different springs it's hard to fit all with one setup.
