    Not sure how nationally the news has been talking about the floods back home in Colorado.. But here's a live copter feed. Last week has been devastating as 2 rivers have flooded a ridiculous amount.

    If I can convince the wife, this could solve my new dilemma. My new 885s with the .5" top plate spacers are giving me an ugly bro-lean. I can either fork out a few hundred to boost the rear another inch, OR let the weight of this ARB level it down some. Hmmmm...

    I'm seriously considering it. Money has been tight ever since the wife lost her job. Do you know the seller personally?

    My ARB without the winch lowered the front 1/2" and raised the rear 1/4". This was on stock suspension.

    Yea. Lean is kind of ugly. Not sure about if wife will let me drop $400 on front end bumper. Cheaper option might have to be additional 1", or even 1/2" lift to the rear. BUT, the springs look sexy. May have to save the $400 for the bumper and get the UCAs replaced first. More important.

    So, story is I was afraid I just wouldn't have the time to do the install before winter. Just have too much going. Took it to underground to have them swap the front shocks and springs. APPARENTLY they couldn't get the 1/2" spacers installed I provided to them, but the original 2" ready lift spacer I had on the previous ones gave it LESS over all lift. Nick explained it as being the ready lift is designed to basically "weigh down" the springs, where as the lighter 1/2" ones only added to additional height which made installation unrealistic. Sounds to me I'm in a gray area- remove spacer, likely get less lift than I had before, or keep it, but NOW I have slightly more than I wanted. I guess UCAs next and ill keep an ear out for anyone wanting to part with their 3" rear set ups, extend the brake lines and just sit real high. I see toytec makes a 3" aal. Maybe I'll do that. Shoot, been underneath the back end so much this summer, I can probably just do it in my sleep. Lol.
