    One thing taken care of. No more wheeling without bump stops.

    The bump is too wide to get the impact onto the ubolts. The plan was to use tube only, but didn't work out.

    4 speed? I guess putting a 2 speed behind the stock trans makes the front driveshaft way shorter and actually binds because its so short.

    yes 4 speed. should make my drive line angle better, but im also going to lower the truck an inch and shorten my droop by 2 inchs so that should fix all the drive line issues I've had then again this is all in theory.

    You're actually gonna lower your truck?? :eek: :p

    Nice. $1000 is a good deal. If I could find that deal on a pair of 14 or 16" 2.5 Foxes I'd be in business :cool:
