    Everything.


    Though the front bumper will be delayed because Mr. ATO has to design it first...look for it this fall...

    Can't wait to see it when it's "finished"... What armor did you go with for the bumpers?

    It's going to be ATO from end to end. Full skids, hybrid DOM sliders, front bumper (when available), rear bedside-cut high clearance.

    Nobody out there builds armor like Kevin builds armor.

    I will give Relentless a nod for his excellent products as well, but he's on the other coast.

    Very nice! Does Kevin have an ETA on the front bumper?

    Not as of yet. Believe me, he'll let everyone know when he's ready to start taking orders.

    U-bolt flip kit, superbumps installed today. Also wailed the pinch weld down flat.

    Pics of the rear axle stuff forthcoming.

    Have you tested your new flex with the shackle flip done yet? Just curious if the shock length has changed a ton at full compression and droop. I'd like to do the flip too. Also do the factory bumpstops work with the ubolt flip?

    There is no shackle flip on the truck.

    I'm not really worried about travel changes - the superbumps compress to the same height as the stock bumpstops, so travel is pretty much the same. You lose a hair on the rear axle because the u-bolt plate places the bumpstop higher on the axle. That's ok by me...with the stock bumpstops I was having the rear tires rub the fenderwell at full stuff. This should be about perfect.

    Yes, the factory bumps work fine with the u-bolt flip.

    I see no reason why shock travel would change at all...

    Happens every now and then. Really sucks when my tools decide to strike back, I've got one heck of a scar on my chest from a grinder with a flap disks attaching me.
