    Got some needed work done today. :D

    The Fox c/o's were installed as-is and they were set up for this truck and not mine.

    2011-06-11_19-56-29_631_ae80b1c0f4e6bb459d1d830725620d70a41b970f.jpg

    Chad's got A LOT more weight up there than I do and my poor truck was jacked up to the moon with pre-load.
    I had almost zero down travel.

    So first Anthony & I installed the 1" Body Lift. Other that arguing with one stubborn bolt the process went very easily. :D
    I took a few shots of it but that's about it.

    All in all the BL took 3 hours.

    We then cranked down the c/o's and swapped out the FJ Shackles for a set of Defined Engineering Shackles.

    Essentially lifting the truck 1" first with a BL then dropping it back down 1 1/2" with suspension adjustments.

    It drove pretty rough before but now it rides like a caddy. :cool:

    Much thanks to my buddy Ant for opening up the Black Pipe Fab shop to me today and also to fellow Gumballing Otter Josh for lending me the Fox Spanners to make the c/o adjustments. :thumbsup:

    One step closer to turtle. :turtleride:

    Ant took a shot of me one-handing the front bumper. Sucker don't weigh a thing.

    Action shot - we had to take a bit off the bushings to get the Defined shackles to fit.
