    Very possible..I use a snap on one at work every so often. You can see sparks from the inside through the vent holes every time that the trigger is pulled

    i know that first video all to well. im basic aircrew on the coast guard jayhawk mh60t and we have to do that every 5 yrs and the sweat chair once a year. and let me tell you trying to get out of that thing blind folded 10ft underwater is freaking crazy!! def try to keep the panic mode down at all possible. we fly with a small airtank in our aircrew vest that will give you up to 3 mins of air, but we dont get to use that when we do that dunker.

    My truck sags so bad with the 50ts. With my crf250 in the back it sits so low. I do have it set right. 52.5 Inches from mount to mount with a 12 inch shackle. I don't know why it does this

    I believe there are two versions of the 50t pack. Same number but different year? IIRC mine are 9 leafs and the new ones are 11 leaf.

    Hass changed a few things to the 50t design but he didn't change anything that would adjust ride height.

    My rear was built with the old style 50t and was low before I added spares and other crap. With all my weight I'm only getting 7" of up travel. I'm at 52.5" m2m. The rear performs well and I don't bottom out but I'd like more up travel/stance.

    My leafs have broken in and I have about 500lbs of stuff in my bed. I am comparing apples to oranges when i compare my truck to a new install on an empty bed.

    ...too much shit to list.
    I did quite a bit of measuring with different amount of leafs pulled from the 50T pack. With SUA, pulling leafs out didn't make very much difference at all in ride height especially the leafs farther to the bottom. It just makes the spring pack softer. I'm of the belief that all the leafs are there for a reason, and I'm not nearly qualified enough to question or justify removing leafs.

    Spring over is a different story of course.

    i believe engage calls for 52 1/8" with a 16th inch tolerance. but dont know how much of a differance that would make. would probably even make it sit lower i would think
