    ...too much shit to list.
    New leafs are in. Sometimes....I hate this fucking truck.

    Passenger side was a piece of cake. Driver's side, not so much.
    Couldn't get the main bolt all the way out, it was hitting the gas tank. So I had to completely unbolt the tank and shove it out of the way. In doing so, I quickly remembered I crossthreaded one of the bolts the last time I dropped the tank.
    Chased the threads with a tap to rethread it. My dumbass grabbed a M9x1.25 instead of a M8x1.25. Needless to say the bolt didn't fit and who has an M9 bolt laying around. Chased the threads again with a SAE pattern and used a bolt I had in my box-o-shit.
    New u-bolts were an inch too long so went to cut them off.
    Still out of cut off disks, and the local hardware store is out too. Started cutting them with the sawzall but the batteries quickly died and wont take a charge so I decided to throw the saw out the garage door for pissing me off. Bounced twice and ended up in the neighbors grass. He came by a couple minutes later with a 120 volt sawzall and a beer. I love my new neighborhood.

    In the end, its done. I'm cycling 7.75" up and 8.5" down with the shocks bolted. Shocks unbolted, I'm drooping over another inch. Time for limit straps.

    Damn! what a 'easy' install that turned out to be. Ha :rolleyes:
    Was nice meeting you yesterday Jason, glad to hear those springs are working out better for you than the old ones. Sounds like a cool neighbor you've got too

    Likewise man!
    BTW...I was serious about the jack skid plate idea ;)

    Sell your f67's, get a 50T pack and call it done.
    If it wasn't for the fact that my shackle pivots were off an inch between driver and passenger side, I would have gone that route. The 50T has a lot more arch to it and with the wider placement and removing 1 or 2 leafs it would be good enough and hell of a lot less work. Would be a couple hours of work instead of multiple days.

    Yeah you're truck is set up perfect with the spindles.
    It would probably be stinkbug on my truck, and then...I'd have to buy something from Engage :eek:

    Poor planning.

    Gas tank, battery, and you're fat ass, are all on the driver's side. You need to trade your girl in for a fat chevy bitch to level it out.

    It's obviously not set up optimally. If I was in your shoes, I'd get the 50T and start pulling leafs till it looked and worked right. Bottom 2-3 leafs out would probably be perfect.
