    Yeah. My buddy and I spent 6 hours fitting the driver side bedside. It took probably an hour just to get the part that the filler neck pokes through to fit. Then rerouting the filler neck and charcoal filter lines took another hour plus. I broke the secondary charcoal filter, so I just bypassed it completely.

    It rained on use for the last 1-1.5 hour while we put everything back together, so I can drive the truck on Friday. Luckily, I have another car that I can drive in the meantime.

    what does that have to do with LT? Not even the same, Please dont waste are time here. We all started with mid travel or stock travel and its not even the same as LT.Not going to waste my time to explain the difference. You can learn for yourself or go back under your bridge.

    Anyone running 64” deavers here? I’m running the DTF SUA kit (has 8” shackles) and I’ve got the E30 62” Deavers and they just are tall enough. My ride height is almost at stock height and I have 35’s. My thinking is to swap them for 64” springs in hopes that I could gain an inch (at least) of lift. I see giant has some 64’s and I think Tim @DMZFAB also has some. Any others I should consider. Any opinions on whether my thinking is correct or not?

    Deaver has an E30 HD pack. Not exactly sure how the 64's would interact with your current geometry. :notsure:

    Yea I did add that. They actually added as much arch as possible for me and it got me another .5” which fixed my bro lean but I’d like to get a little higher

    I would contact Giant about that. Their kit uses outboard shackles so the geometry is not really comparable.

    So does the DTF kit, but shackle length and position could possibly be different enough that it's going to be a can of worms...

    The owner of Giant seems like a super awesome guy to just call up and ask so I'd go that route.

    Yeah he's a pleasant dude. @chasecamper just installed a 64 kit and it might be good to check with him on what his vehicle weight is vs ride height. Longer springs may not necessarily be the solution.

    Yep. He’s super helpful.

    I have a giant 64 kit on my 2016. If whoever it was posted the question I have some shorter shackles I can sell super cheap. I bought them to get extra height but ended up calling deaver and having them make me an extra leaf.

    I might be interested in those. Are they 4” long or something close to that? I need to measure how wide the shackle needs to be to fit inside the DTF hanger. Not sure if they will be the same as the giant ones. I’ll check Tomorrow
