    Yep, wifed her. Still no haz sammich tho. :(

    Truck is currently being resurrected and should be drivable by the end of this week. New rear axle, went back to spring-over for ground clearance in the rocks here in the northeast, hydroboost conversion, regeared to 4:56s, etc. Cannot wait to have everything completed and be back on the road!

    Teaser pic showing the new ride height before the axle perches were burned in and the shock mounts were fabricated:

    Waiting on delivery of some Engage bedsides to complete the new look, and I'll be moving up to 35's once these 33's wear out.

    Did you move your leaf pack from SUA to SOA and pull some leafs or something or is it a different leafpack meant for SOA?

    SOA with the same leaf pack. I was expecting too much lift but it sits just about level even without fuel, spare tires, recovery gear, and tools. Stiff springs on the front LT give a surprising amount of lift.

    The droop on this setup is insane. Lifted the back of the truck last night to measure for brake lines and the top rear of the bed is literally 6' off the ground with the tires still in contact with the ground. Even with all that droop I still have 9-10" of compression on the shocks at ride height.

    Bedsides are staying home during future wheeling trips at Rausch. :eek:

    LOL
    dont you gain like 9 inches of lift using the same springs from sua to soa?
    thats what i want to do, but i feel like my ass will be SKY HIGH
    because thinking of a what 4 inch axle tube, 5 inch thick leaf pack. move that from under to over thats 9 inches higher than where you were?

    3" axle tube, but yeah, it's close. The thing is that I was so ass-low that it worked out in my case.

    We anticipated about 7" of lift when we measured and came in right around there.
