Or drill thru it off center into the mounting surface and countersunk so the super bump can still rest on a flat surface

 

Wait what?

It will still be flat..

 

Is this what you're trying to do?

 

Yes sir

Ahhh a second bolt. I like that.

And actually it's backwards, Bump mounts to LCA. Thus the angle.

 

Ohh right first gen. Well even easier then!

 

Yea just gonna angle it a touch since they are so tall. Leave one stock one in. Found my other pair I had but they are standard thread so won't work.

 

well..bit the bullet. Ordered 5 255/80r17 Cooper ST Maxxes...

i hate buying tires..

 

speaking of bumps

i've been thinking about buying sumo springs and seeing if i can make them work in the rear on a first gen.

 

Sumo springs?

 

Now I have to sub this thread for awesomeness, thanks Monte LOL

 

haha

you're welcome

 

they are similar to air bags, but a cellular compound that collapses with weight. some use it for towing, i'd use it to prevent squatting and I in my head i've convinced myself it'd help with the RTT on top of my shell.

 

yea i looked em up. Im guessing they would be a bit stiff for our trucks.

But worth a shot.

I think just getting a nice leaf pack will hold a RTT and shell..haha

 

I considered upgrading my leaf pack (again), but i don't want to go higher in the air.

trying to be conscious of my COG.

they hold it ok until i load everything down.

 

Agreed. My springs ride great with or without my rtt/bedrack. 2nd gen but either way should be able to get a proper leaf pack for what you want

 

what leafs do you have?

 

had 4WD/ Old Man Doug mail me some, not sure what they are off of. Boosted my rear end and hold the weight ok.

He was supposed to send more, long story short it's been over a year. He made contact a few months ago saying he'd return $, gotta wait a few more years I guess.

 

correction bought them 2 years ago

 

ah..

well. In that case. Alcans man. Save up and get some of those, they will do what you want to you're specs. can do 2'' lift and 300lbs load or whatever.
