    Good thing I got the 60" hi-lift instead of the 48"!!! :laugh:

    Pics coming soon. They're taking a ridiculously long time to upload.

    I still have to go find a spot that'll let it flex engouh to lift a rear tire.

    It's freakin close during up and down travel, but no, it does not bottom out. The bump stops hit first and they're nowhere near bottoming out during articualtion. And with how stiff the shocks are, I have yet to hit a bumpstop on the streets, despite how close they are.

    That is the major downside to this whole set-up though... sacrificing uptravel for a lot of down travel. It's not bad though... Full stuffage still fills the fender well nicely. :cool:
    Thanks, man. I love it so far. :eek: Much softer than the expos and quite a bit lower in the rear. I'm now very close to level with no rake.

    I may try and find some soft, 5" bump stops instead of the 4.5" that I have now, just for piece of mind. :eek:

    :rofl:
    I did have to, huh..... "modify" the bed a bit, to fit these shocks :spy::D but I did not cut or go through the bed.

    I think you'll be just fine w/o cutting up the bed. Again, I think 12"ers would be perfect with your leaf packs, and expo-oriented build.



    bahahahaha :( Jan 14th is when she goes on the market. :bananadead:But......
