    Thanks guys I can't wait to be able to stretch these legs.

    Thanks! I'm pretty much following your lead on this one. Black Kings for example. Paid extra for it but boy are they sexy. I went with the Rubicon Express XJ shackles. I think they are 5". Bsheriff11 helped me out on his build page and ckeene9 also recommended me those shackles to get the most of the shock relocation that's going in later. As soon as I can find someone to help with the welding part of it.

    Yeah...same one's you got. Prob remove a leaf as well, so it's not too high in the rear. How many leafs in those? More importantly...how's the ride?

    There's 7 leaves in the spring pack. I usually have nothing in the bed so it was pretty stiff for a while. Now it feels better/cushier with it broken in and one less overload leaf.

    Yeah I went to O'Reillys and borrowed a coil compressor. It was a very sketchy tool and it took 3 people to get the coils on. It was kind of a PITA but if u want to do it for free that be the way to go unless u know someone with a wall mounted safer version. I could help if u need. Or u could pay a shop to do it.

    I had a little bit too much fun at work the other day. The top of my roof rack was muddy. Haha! Good times.

    I've got all 7. I don't think it's too stiff, but Daks can squeak. It seems to have gotten better with time and load, but some folks complain. There is an entire thread on it.

    I haven't heard any squeaking yet. But my maybe it's because of the muffler and mud terrain tires. I guess I should've shot some lube in there while it was apart. Damn it!
