    I agree Minitoy, pics of the whole truck too. If you have bags, then show it at full up and down so we can see the clearance you have at both times.

    Thanks TRUCK ACTION for the detailed pics. I never really thought of posting close ups.

    Thts all you get up front? Those are 18s correct? You shud get more lift up front unless ur limited by the shocks. Here's mine up could go a little more up front back isn't near up all the way

    The load leave is the one in the middle essentially the second longest leaf that is not attached to the shackles or frame mounting point . U will loose some carrying ability and will need some stiff shocks to control them floppy leafs after removal a rear sway bar def helps keep it from swaying wich helped a lot
