    With how they are mounted now you'll need 8.5s looks like. 10s will be too long even.

    How was the night? You guys all cuddle with Clint :p

    Those are 10's. If you look closely, the upper bar can go back a couple of inches and probably up 1/2". Not sure why he mounted it so far forward.

    If he can get the mounts about equal to where the stock upper mount is, it should be enough...

    I hope we can make them fit. I really like how the FOA's feel. Monumentally better than the 5100's. Not sharp like the bilstein's can be at times and they do a very good job at controlling the body roll.

    When I did mikes I had his angled back and out further on the bottom mounts and he has maybe 1/2" of wiggle room from bottoming out when he is full stuffed.

    You might wanna change the top and bottom mounts to angle them. Gonna be hard to fit em like that. But I think may be possible. Those are long bodies. And you just at ride height...yikes haha

    They are just as long as the bilsteins I had mounted... They were too short in the stock mounting location. :notsure:

    Poke away... Had some monies saved but had to use it for the shock work... :( For what they charged ($320), they better make this right. Should have rolled off the lot right for that premium. Dropping it off this afternoon after work.

    Dropped it off at the shop yesterday. The guy was pretty upset with his work and got right on it. He built the race truck for the shop and is doing a custom jeep for a customer that is absolutely sick. Not sure what happened with my truck; must have been in a hurry :notsure:

    He said he could def get everything to fit...

    Production Offroad. They did Paul's setup as well. Charlie is they guy that did the work; great guy.

    It was a bit pricey but all shops are :notsure: You thinking about getting your rear suspension done? They could cage too it if you want long travel rear too but Im sure it will cost an arm and leg.

    They botched a simple install on my buddies T4R and their customer service was shit. I wouldn't trust them to change my oil.

    Yeah, the guys up front are kind of shaddy. I like Charlie; he does good work (at least the second time :p)
    Wasn't hard to improve on the first job :p
