oh, and thanks for the compliment, sorry i missed it in the last post...
ok, an update, since i did the lift, and tires, my rear tires have been hitting the flares and actually bending the box sides... not wanting to do any cutting, nor lose my flares, i decided it was time for bump stops... my first thoughts were to put my 3" blocks back in, as they have bump stops on them, then just change which spot of the shackles i use (belltech 6400) so the shocks don't over extend...
well, i went to do this, and luckily, i didn't need to... i pulled the rear u-bolts off, and had an epiphany! i could put the blocks on top of the spring, this way i don't have the axle wrap issue, and flattening of the springs... looking at it, it wasn't going to work as i had planned, because of the center bolt on the springs, so i flipped the blocks upside down, and placed them between the plate that the nuts on the u-bolts go into, and the spring, the bump stop is upside down and sitting funny on the rubber frame side of the stop, but that will be fixed later...
i tried to flex the truck out to see how it would line up, but sadly, i didn't have a tall enough jack...
however on sunday i was at a 4x4 training session, and managed to totally flex my truck out, this pic was taken with the rear passenger side tire off the ground by about an inch or so... belltech's and expo leafs make for a decent amount of flex!
