Suspension setups and pics

I would like to make a stickie for guys to see how we are running our suspension. I would like you guys to post in here but NO WHORING PLEASE. Here is how I would like you to post. I guess the point is to let guys see how your truck sits and see how you made it. If they want more that the simple info they can go to your build thread. The less cluttered this thread is the easier it is for guys to page through it quickly.

You can just copy and paste then edit the next part to make it a little easier.

It needs shorter shocks in the front I moved all the bushing to the top to give it a little more room, but they are kinda noisy. We plan on bagging it soon so I haven't gotten real concerned about it.
