    yeah, but the biggest problem was trying to get the bump to fit with the bypass and the tire, it was just too cramped.

    Thanks man! From eye to eye, front hanger to rear it has to be 52.5in i used the stock front hanger, when i get my glass i am going to weld them on to strengthen them.

    I havnt measured it completely yet, kinda just been relaxing the past few days.
    here it is at almost full droop. shocks fully extended are at 14in, full bump they have a 1/2in gap

    We checked that out and measured it, and it didn't look like it did. I will check again but I'm hoping its all good. What is yours strapped at?
