    If you do a fly by video that is the best way to tune the rear. I just hit a section of dirt where the truck doesn't handle well and change the valving until I'm happy.

    I'm still slightly a bit too soft. You can see and hear my rear wheels tap bumps a few times.

    all welded up, now just gotta put them on the truck, cut off 3 inches turned it and have 1.5 inches from the frame and probably close to an inch from the shock to the frame. you can see how far out the towers were before cause i didnt wanna cut holes but i had half and inch between the tire and the bypass tubes when i put them on the truck. get more pics as i go

    The shocks are going through the bed now right? Not in the wheel well anymore. Are the hoops going to mount from in the bed, or just poking through your holes from the bottom?

    Hoops are just gonna be poking through. Long weekend of sking and work and this coming week is finals. Should have it all done up this weekend and get you guys some pics. Way more happy with how it's gonna ten out. 1.5 tube pokes out the bed and say the bolt for the shock would be flush with the top of the wheel well. I raised the shock 1.5 inches and then sucked the tower in 4"
