    Hmm... By which you mean smashed the hell out of your truck? How’d you bash the leaf mount and spare the exhaust completely?

    It can happen just from hard wheeling, and the mount bends from strong forces on the leaf springs, not necessarily hitting anything.

    Edit: maybe not in his case. I see marks on the bottom now that I looked at the pic again

    Yea man the brackets I got off Amazon clamp to the hood ( very hard to adjust) and that’s the furthest I could move them without having the lights on a weird angle . Suggest any brackets or should I just drill ??

    I too will be inline for a new frame but the dealer doing the work makes me worry. I try to check what they’ve done and pretty typical to find stuff loose grommets not seated etc. I’m holding off on bringing it. It will go to them after I’ve removed most my extras and on stock steel wheels.

    This is what I found and I spend a lot of time under it on the frame.
    Didn’t do so good here and it is in plain sight up front by the tie down.
    Pretty sure it qualifies.

    Installed my 3rd gen OR coilovers this weekend. Got about 1.5 inches of lift. Im really surprised how much better it rides not to mention how much better it looks! If anyone is on the fence about doing the swap, i highly recommend it. Super simple to do yourself too! Best part is I sold the level kit that was part of the deal, and have 3 people wanting my take off coilovers. Nearly made all my money back and still have the OR leafs in the garage.

    Which Riser is this? and was it easy to do with the wiring going to the mirror?

    The mirror position is one of my biggest problems with the interior of the cabin, and I would love to do this...

    I installed a Bird Dawg Industries mirror riser and while driving the mirror fell off taking a chunk with it. I got the entire windshield replaced and glued the old shoe higher so I don't need the riser.

    Haven't thought that far yet, just adding the possibility vs. having that dead space back there. I have RC so the far right will be accessible between the buckets and the far side behind passenger seat is big enough for small backpack to hang from it and sit in bottom tray still allowing full seat travel.
