    A hair. It's a little stiff for me too, but I may need to try to get more weight in the bed.

    Final assembly begins. Truck should be done next week some time, and comes home. Need to get a new drive shaft made, plumb and wire the truck.

    Yup 10 leaf Deaver HD pack with an AAL. Still squats. May have better luck going to Deaver and talking with them directly and getting actual weight.

    Cool. Wasn't sure if all the brackets were welded on yet with already having all that nice paint.

    No lie, I was driving out to the desert with a bed full of riding gear, full gas cans, and a dirt bike in the back and the rear felt soooo good. Those leafs love some weight in the rear

    That's kinda what I was thinking. I'll probably figure out a way to get some weight in the back.

    Hey guys I have a question, I was told that its bad to mount hydro bumps in the stock location on a Tc 3.5+ kit beacause i could bend my Lca. Is this true?

    A bypass would be a way better solution than a hydro bump. You're gonna be riding the bump 3/4's of the time.
