I don't know if there will be any problems with the hole closest to the stock hole, due to the 45° cone shape.
You'd probably never need to use that hole unless you were running some real long leaves. I think these are the ones I'll buy. I already have a bit more lift than I want, I sure don't need more. Thanks for the info.

Awesome info man. I think I might be just as excited as our customers that are waiting to install these even though our new shop rig wont even have leaf springs. lol This is the first product ever released by FST that I wasn't able to personally install and test myself. So we are really counting on our customer's input and so far I like what we are hearing.

We will be making a revision before the next laser order to notch the bracket where that bumper weld nut is so the customers still running stock bumpers wont have to remove it.

Most importantly, I want to see how that FST sticker looks on your rig Andrew! lol

i still have my stock bumper and it has four bolts there what is gonna happen if one is missing, i think one is already broken in there if i ordered these knowing that that nuts has to be cut off then i would be fine with that. i will be ordering my ploy bushings this friday so i will get them painted up and hopefully the weather gives be a break from the cold out here so i can get these on. i may be getting shorter shocks now too for the rear bc i have 16.5 and have been bottoming them out i may go to 15.5 or 14.5 just to be safe

i will also be glad to go down a little in height bc i am at like 7'', 4.5 packs with 2.5 shackles at a 90 angle in the back and a saggy 6.5 in the front

Hey lead, how long do you think it will be before you can make your modifications and start selling in full quantities? I'm really interested in buying some right this second bit I'd like to know your time frame.
