Thanks! Erik B deserves credit for this design. I saw his on the internet and decided to try something similar. I thought they had a familiar look, nice job on the shackles also. I sort of copied Erik's spring hanger design also!!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I totally agree that lift is overrated. I don't run any lift with my 32x11.50s and wouldn't run much more than an inch for 33x12.50s.

You guys have a point; what kind of post is this without flex pictures? I have failed you all as a 4x4wire member. I'll try to get some articulation pictures this weekend. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Love the pictures Bandit. Gotta hijack-interrupt the articulation shots and ask....where in the hell did you get your door mirrors?? They aint stock, but dont look like the garbage aftermarket cheapies either. The POS mirrors I used on our 4Runner give that nice distorted image and cant be adjusted worth a chit. I'm really starting to hate them and am looking for good replacements without spending the hardearned on OEM replacements. ~Darin <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />

Pictures are deceiving bud. Those ARE the cheap crap aftermarket ones. They work alright, I just need to tighten the passenger side so it stays adjusted. I got 'em at AutoZone. I would like to have some larger ones though; visibility in this truck isn't the best. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Looks great Bandit! I've just gotta remember envy is bad. It's added to my to do list. Now I just have to find someone to weld for me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
