    Oh ok. I just don't want to lose any lift up front. The 2.5" spacer I have now barely clears room for my tires as it is now, I'd hate to lose ground. Sounds like I may just buy those 1/4" spacers to be safe. More money spent. Knew this would happen. Lol

    It just dawned on me that my rear blocks came with longer u bolts. Think they'll be TOO long now for the aal? I'm hoping I don't need to go find a stock set.

    Yea. I just don't really have access to a variety of tools. I will go to work in the morning and try to find a grinder. I searched TW and found a thread where multiple guys were just grinding flat spots on the shaft to grip better. I got the nuts moved a tad with wrenches, but still not loose enough and now I'm out if space to work with. I feel defeated, and it's the easiest project. Lol

    I guess technically its more of a rod than a shaft. Lol
