    Is that what your shorter shackles are?
    How long are they from center to center?
    How much $$ do you want for them?

    I’ll measure when I get home. I don’t care to be honest. I paid 280 for them. They have ten miles on them. No bushings but they are just common type that I can give you the pn for. Whatever you want to pay I’m good with.

    For the record, I was talking about 3.5+" LT, not lift. I have pretty much no lift, Kings are still set from where ever King set the coils at, and it never bugged me until recently. Decided when I rebuild all my shocks I'm gonna add an inch or so of lift up front and back and see how I like it. I didn't think lots of lift + high speed turns in the sand was a good idea so I never bothered. Plus to lazy.

    I've never stuffed 35s on stock anything before, nor would I try, sounds like a bunch of cutting, and as well know, it doesn't matter how much lift you have, you're still gonna bump up to the same spot, but bigger tires means its gonna bump sooner...or you're gonna self clearance some sheet metal. I was doing that on the 34s very slightly anytime I jumped, so I know for a fact it's just gonna be worse on 35s. I've already contacted a few local fab guys to see if they want to cut up the truck and tuck the inner fenders back for me, no luck so far.

    I already have some new body mounts that tuck way back sitting on the shelf (yeah yeah, story of my life), and have been eyeballing the big ass 5lb mallet my Father in law gave me thinking I can just clearance everything on my own :D

    Shock tuning...?
    So I finally finished my rear.
    Taking the truck out next weekend.
    Where do I start with the shocks?
    Fox 16” triples
    Do I start midway of adjustment and work from there?
    Anyone know of a good article or write up?
    Thanks in advance

    Don't think that says anything about valving so I have no idea what that means. Rebound fully open should be good. Long compression start a few turns in. Short compression start a few turns more than the long compression. That'll get you started.

    A thing or two...
    Quick question for those of you running SUA setups. How is your shock stroke divided when you're sitting at ride height? Are you sitting at the center of the shocks travel or is it offset like 60/40? If you're offset, do you have more travel stroke up or down?

    Wrecked!
    Sounds like your bumps are set close to perfect then. When i cycled my front I realized that im only using 6in of travel on 8" coil-over because 4x4 limits the down travel and with bigger tires and no inner fenders you can you go so far up before you need to relocate a a few things. ABS controller and battery. if i move those two a little more i could get anther inch. not sure i will ever do it.
    Jeff just have an engine cage done. then you have something to support everything off of. The front will start falling apart sooner or later without it anyway. I need to make some kinda inner liner one of these days.

    Is it normal to have to sand down a uniball retaining clip to get it to set in the groove?

    I've considered an engine cage, but I'm gonna settle for an engine crossover. Plans in my head are a possible LS swap, with Solo XLT kit for when i do cage the truck. Just want to one and done it again. hahaha "and done".
