    Bumps and bumps and CANDY!! These should be going on tomorrow along with the possible removal of a couple leafs to soften the rear up.

    Not currently. I'm going to get an alignment either tomorrow or saturday and cycle the suspension 1 more time to make sure everything has good enough clearance then cut and reattach the fender flares. Should take more photos at that time though. You looking to see something in particular?

    I don't know what you got but I got a jolly rancher, tootsie roll, and a starburst. Question is, are they drugged??? :eek:

    Here's my rear end without shocks. Does this seem too stiff? How do you even tell? Seems to me like my shocks are why it's stiff back there but :notsure:

    I'm just more interested to know how you can tell if the leaf pack is too heavy or too light. The fact that my weight moves it so much should mean something. :notsure:

    You should probably do that about 2am, make sure the neighbors windows are open. Keep at it hard for 30 mins minimum and youll have the respect of every dude on your block. Few of the women might be eyeballin you too....

    Lol. That's why I want it smoother. Not for trails, but for those fun backseat nights! :D

    She does have a loud backside though. :( most of it from the shit in my bed tho.

    Front and rear bumps are on. Decided not to mess with the leafs just yet. I'll be adding 100 - 150 lb in the near future so I'll mess with it then. Most likely revalve the shocks first.

    The truck barely moves when I do the same thing with the shocks on. Aside from oscillating like a mofo, the rear felt smooth with no shocks. Hitting the big dip by my house was fun until I came down with nothing to absorb it. Pretty sure that when I revalve it'll be much better. Only one way to find out...

    Going to guess those are wheelers? You'll really like those front bumps, they feel great
