    Got it. But what about the ones that were on your bumper at the early stages when you added your bumper?

    They were low power marker lights that sucked as turn signals, Took them off a while ago and threw them away.

    Just a suggestion if it still feels still after revalve, even with the spare in the back offroading, a longer shackle will help it ride softer, as long as it is a 4.5" shackle for about a little over 1" lift. I ran a 6" shackle and it rode similar to rear LT lol. But i was getting alot of negative arch on leaf pack and axle wrap so i went to stock. The 6" shackle i used made the leaf pack really soft.

    Nice build. You have any issues with the CVs running 3.5-4" lift up front with the extended travel? I'm curiously looking around at doing some kind of mid-travel.

    Actually I think I am only running 2.75 lift up front with a diff drop.

    I had a cv boot fail and all 4 have been replaced since with no issues.

    Trucks lookin' badass. How's your cb antenna location for reception? I'm most likely going to mount mine back there somewhere too.

    Had it tested and it's 100% reception.

    An ideal location.

    Rad, thanks. I like what you've done to the rig, any plans for the near future? Besides possibly the tube bumper with skid & light tabs?
