    You didn't come to my build thread to read about my experience with Firestone, so here is some good stuff:

    Need to get some hose clamps to permanently affix the resi's to Jason's custom mounting tabs
    IMG_4271.jpg

    Since I really wanted to avoid running spacers, we moved the lower mounting points as far inboard as possible.
    Need to test more flex but it looks good so far!
    IMG_4274.jpg
    IMG_4276.jpg

    We tacked in the mount, pulled the U-bolt, fully burned it on, then re-installed U-bolt to get it as close as possible
    IMG_4278.jpg
    IMG_4279.jpg IMG_4280.jpg

    And I actually helped! "Fabbed" up some brackets to hold my superbumps in place
    IMG_4281.jpg IMG_4282.jpg

    Tested a little flex and no tire rubbing the shock body, and no shock body hitting my u-bolt flip plate. I have 4.5 inches of shaft showing at ride height, with 3.5 inches of travel until full bump. Will post flex pics soon! Thanks again @glorifiedwelder !

    Are you running the 3/8" spacers on the rear?

    Nah, I don't have the spacers. I need them for up front though. I need to limit my travel slightly so that I don't hit the inside top of my wheel wells

    I just put them on up front to avoid the same thing, and have them for the rear but not sure if I'm going to put them on. Need to test!
