Looks awesome! Quick question though. Is it normal to have your rear axle pushed that forward? I'm currently in the same situation after putting on a new shackle/relocation kit.

Yes it is perfectly fine. It's all about how the suspension cycles. Whenever you get lift from shackles/relocation brackets. It rotates your axle a tad bit, causing it to move forward a little bit. it can actually be good. Because when the axle gets pushed to the back with uptravel because it uses the front leaf mount as a pivot point.

Well. Bad new. I used undercoating and it rained last night so the whole thing is pretty ****ed up right now. So I'm going to have to sand it all down again(better this time) and this time I'm going to use rust-oleum spray on bedliner.
