    Got two floor jacks, so i don't need to use a 2x4

    Truck is on four jackstands.

    Three of the four mounts are installed. Just doing the one closest to the rear shock now

    Yeah. It's a pita. Took a while to figure out how to correctly loop it through.

    The closed end of the strap shouldn't come back through the buckle. THat way it comes out straight, not at an angle.

    I'm sorry, i don't follow.

    Everything else has gone fine.




    Even flipped the one strap buckle so it wouldn't come into contact with my leaf spring:

    Yes, i know my leaf springs are totaled....just haven't put the new ones on yet

    Glad to see there is instructions... mine didn't come with instructions and just sat in the garage collecting dust. Thanks Rattletrap66 for posting this. It's a shame the OP didn't do the same :rolleyes:

    I'm still searching for a waterjet shop to cut these for me. The quotes I've received so far would result in a $100-150 increase in the cost of the skid. No one would be excited about that.
