    Those kings on the BST thread look real tempting.

    If I could match my wheels perfectly, I'd do that color on my bumpers
    Not bad!

    Buy me the bypasses

    I have not, yet

    You could probably find a powder coat to match it

    @rjsimz
    Ever hear from @Mobtown Offroad about their rears?

    My axle is on the way there. Very slight leak. Wanted someone else to go through the misery with me even though the seal doesn't look too tough to knock out single handedly. I feel like dialing in the bypasses would be a huge pain in the dick. If I could weld in my own shock hoops, that'd be a different story.

    Just did rear seals and bearings on mine. Not sure if 2ND and 3rd share the same axle.

    TC arms/panhard and Metaltech long travel springs.
    Custom kings will be ordered today.

    TC arms fit phenomenally. Painless install. Hardest part was breaking the bolts loose on the upper links. No clunking at all.

    Im on the fence for my rear shock set up as well. I did my droop and measuring last weekend as well. Am following. So far our rear set up matches besides the link brand.

    interested to see how low your mounts get, i've seen some 12" bypass installs and the lower mount is crazy low which has me worried and wanting to possibly go 10".

    I just feel bypasses would allow me to adjust to how exactly i want it for how i drive and where i drive.

    this install made mounts under the body inside of the frame rails up higher, still stuck down like 2-3" more than the stock mount.

    Similar to my original plan. But the wife made the decision she wanted her spare under the truck (for now) so that's a no go. I'll be pushing the upper mount upward like @Wishbone Runner did.


    Canit setups are such a pain in the dick to tune.
    Just by adjusting my upper links I cycled 14" of travel on the passenger side and 11.5" on the driver side. You can't get any more out of the driver's side without moving the gas tank forward since the upper link hits the tank at droop.
