    then you'll be fine. Have Jerry use his fork lift to flex it out and you can see first hand

    Jerry's done quite a few so it was pretty quick. Maybe an hour?

    Too much to list, but enough to get me in trouble. Repeatedly.
    Stopped by King today. Got my shocks ordered. Decided to ditch my customization plan due to expense and ease. Soon as the shocks come in, I'm headed up to see Jerry and have him install his kit......just after swinging by Brute Force to pick up and mount my new rear bumper :D

    Cutting this close! I hope I still have time to give everything a good shakedown before Moab :pray::goingcrazy:

    And Zach seems to be dragging his feet on shipping my roof rack :mad:

    Finally got around to installing my rear kings. These would definitely be through the stock bed if I still had one.

    You will likely have to remove the bed. Pretty sure it's been done without, but what a pain.

    I would wait until you have the shocks as well. Down travel probably wouldn't be an issue, it'd be hanging a tire that would cause shock failure.

    Thanks, and then the shock length just depends on where I place my new cross member? Just measure from there to the new mounts on the axle for extended/compressed? I found a good chart for Bilstein shocks with measurements.

    Your leafs will be a deciding factor as well.

    If you do the relocate crossmember yourself it all depends on where to place the shock mounts.
    Also double check the full droop on the leafs or calculate it before getting shocks. I made that mistake already.
    Set your bumps appropriately and you should be fine.

    All in all my setup was very easy but the calculations and fitment was a pain.

    I'm married, I don't need to pull bitches. haha I left them covered to keep the hose clamp from scuffing them up, which sounds kind of dumb since I just kept them covered. haha

    Besides I just use them to pull bitches ;)
