    Hello
    Big THANK YOU to Steven Crawford from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc for his help in finding the right shocks for my application.
    FYI: If you go this route make sure you trim the rubber and metal bushing with a die grinder. Use the length of the bushings from old shocks as a guide so you know how much to trim off of the new metal & rubber bushings. I had a metal bracket that was perfect for adding some slack to the brake lines. Wheelers 3-Leaf AAL's are on their way to replace the 2” blocks. :thumbsup:

    Have to do the same thing to my 5125 when I install it tomorrow. Oh thanks for the brake bracket extension Idea. Going to use that one for sure.
