RC 4.5" leaf springs with a Tera Flex shackle (soon to have shackle relocation boxes and new shocks)

in the front I am running RC long arm upgrade with 6.5" RC coils and Tera Flex spacer.

I am running 12" travel shocks in the front, 9" travels in the rear, I will measure for new shocks in the rear once I get the boxes.

you have the 8157 shocks right? thats what I jason sent me for the front. I ran it up a RTI ramp for the first time this weekend. Think I could have ended up looking like that once the fenders are cut more. Ive been fighting cutting them more for a month now, but Im gonna lose the fight lol. Im about to cut all the way to the outside line of where the flares used to be. Then cut and beat over the inner fender spine. still waiting on those rear shocks though

Looks great though man. I dont imagine you could be any happier.

Crap I thought he was sending me the shorter ones. Oh well I'll just upgrade eventually.

Yea I got on the ramp this weekend an got the tire to the fender. I wasn't happy an thought I'd go just a lil further. Yea the fender wasn't to happy with that and I wasn't very happy with how far up I had gone lol.

Your bump stops look set up really well. You could get away with a little shorter one but why bother when you can already do that lol. Which stops are u running

I just let the tire rub against the body there is no pinch seam and nothing sharp and I rarely get the tire THAT far into the body so I just let it be.
