    I answered your question about the measurement a few pages back. But any of the other packs will work better because they will have more up travel do to it sitting higher from having more arch

    I'm running F55 with 9" shackle through the frame on my 1st gen 5 lug. My rear was set up by Tim at DMZ. Pretty sure he knows what he is doing. Never had an issue with my rear. In fact my front Chaos kit cannot keep up with the rear.

    This is a buddy's truck. He was running a cheap adapter spacer so he could run his f150 rims. It was a good excuse to put a 9" under it. It was funny to watch him land a stepup and dig in as the tire rolls by.

    56 sounds right for a 9" through the frame so the pack doesn't buckle when it flattens out.

    I'm running the 50t with 12" shackle over frame at 52.5. Its a nice pack. You may need to pull a leaf if you sit too high. I have about 9" to 10" of up travel. 3 years old and still doesn't sag.
    F55 is more for 5 lugs or if you have no weight in the rear. Great pack if you are sitting low.

    The whole truck is pretty simple. Its something he threw together while he builds his bigger project. The 5.3 make it pretty fun to rip in.

    Should I run the 50t with 9" through the frame or just buy 12" shackles and move it to the correct spot

    Did he find the tire? I was driving my boss's dually down the freeway and got passed two tires. Thinking it was odd I looked in the rear view and realized they were mine! They went about a mile, and I felt really lucky they didn't hit any other cars.

    Ya, Michigan sand is very soft. It just bounced a few times rolled by and dug in.

    I broke a hub on my quad taking off on a big step up. It ended up going half way across the track and almost hit a injured rider on the ground. Someone had to stop it so it wouldn't hit him. Kinda felt bad.

    first jump below. Broken spacer was attempt 2.
