    Mark, are you happy with the 9.25" 5125's lenght? Could you go with 10" shocks with the 3" of lift?
    I'm kinda torn between ordering the 9" and 10" shocks.

    Jew can dooooo it.


    Yeah I'm happy with em. I suppose I could've went with the 10" shocks since the expos are beefy as fck and provide a little more than their advertised 3" of lift-- but I'm not complaining.

    You could also try giving DSM a ring

    Bumper fitting is taking longer than expected. I had to grind away 1/4" off the holes where the frame plate mounts into. Probably test fitted the bumper 10-15 times, oh what fun.

    Pics will come tomorrow

    I took off the bumper and here were the frame horns

    So I cut off the horns and had to grind the frame ends smooth and even

    Got the frame plates welded on:

    One of the major issues that I faced was the holes where the frame bolt mounts onto the bumper needed to be shaved about 1/8-1/4" on both sides in order for the bolts to fit into the holes
    NO PICTURE

    The second issue is the bolts that screw into the bottom wouldn't go up all the way, they were done tightening when there was 1/4" left
