    I don't have inner fenders (engine cage), I also beat my firewall in with a sledge, and cut back the body mount considerably. Even the glassworks fenders had to be trimmed.

    it's not a pain in the ass to install bumps. you just have to cycle the suspension, find what point of the up travel you want the bump to start working and where it will reach full bump. weld the cans to the frame and a strike pad to the axle... you might be able to get away with not having to re-do them when you do a SUA set up, but LT leafs provide much more up travel, and with out re-doing the bumps set up you might be cutting yourself short on some up-travel (not what you want to be doing)

    You have to disassemble the leaf pack. Put just the main leaf back on the truck by itself. It will allow you to fully compress the suspension and make sure it follows the exact position it will be in when all springs are back together

    Actually that is from a few months ago, I extended the tubes out to help support the glass fenders. They flop around a lot without it, but yeah it's better than the monstrosity I had for a while, although the stinger did keep me off my lid a couple times.
