    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.

    Not worth it IMO with a 6' bed..you waste too much space as you'd have that right behind the tail gate. Then the 4-3' behind them doesn't get used well.

    I think draw systems only work well in SUVs.

    You can set it up however you like.

    I was suggesting it to him, he has a shorter bed as well. I'd probably only get a sliding fridge mount that was removable and just use heavy duty storage boxes for everything else.

    I may be in depending on funds by the 16th.... Military still owes me $450 right now...

    Instead you lose gas mileage from less aerodynamics and look like you're trying to fit in with jeeps :D
    Get some tube doors in place and it'll be much better!

    For wiring, I'd just splice in quick disconnects.

    Is it illegal to drive on highways and town with no doors?

    Some states have rules about how much of the rocker/door must go up the side, so that's why jeeps have tall rockers.

    So here's my dilemma. Here's the shackle kit and everything that was in the box.

    26F82FF5-E70D-4301-BCD7-DB4D173A1CF9-206_3a6e49321a1c76d5841f86c8e66382191e61bdf1.jpg

    Heres one end of the springs.

    19F357EA-F0EC-4B0C-8929-9BD7E236A284-206_6d7b881479e61ffe5690580c80e10236a8c4460c.jpg

    Here's the other end.

    Here's the instructions with the shackles.

    0B06846A-70C2-46FB-9EF2-1CA444081C4C-206_17861ced098338fafbd275fb0c46a262635223d1.jpg

    Don't I need something that goes over the shackle bolts between the shackle plates? Because I have nothing in the kit.

    ...too much shit to list.
    You are missing the rear spring pack bushings. They don't come with the OME leaf pack.

    Looks like you're missing your bushings for the shackle end. I had to order them separately for my OME Dakar springs too iirc.

    Ok that's what I thought I need. I thought they came included on the full OME kit from wheelers. Dan is saying he saw them in the box he shipped me, but I think he may be confusing them with the rack bushings I ordered. This could be kind of crappy. This weekend is the only one I have off for a while that I can see :/

    Not sure, but I've gone most of the summer without doors and didn't have an issue. All I know is you are supposed to have to rear facing mirrors whether or not you have doors.

    Call Dan back. He'll make it right.
    We had a mod day long ago and ran into the same issue with another member. I ended up making bushings from a bunch of misc shit we got from summit racing that we had to cut and grind to fit and made our own sleeves from scrap. Giant pain in the ass because the OME eyelets are metric.
