Yeah, we were looking under the rear and made a point that it already is rolled like a notch. But I wasnt sure if you needed to just notch a little more to lay harder. I guess we will just do that and see what happens....Anybody got any pictures of there suspensions after the fact, just want to have a look and see.

take the springs out, toss the shocks and see what hits/rubs etc. then you can know for certain what you need to do.

not too tough though, small notch in the rear would be good just for g.p. (2-3" notch). I'd definately recommend running a 2600lbs bag in the rear( the vehicle is long as hell and with more lift in the front, the rear will be low as hell and you'll tear that gas tank up. run 2600lbs bags all around. you can either plate the front lower bag bracket, or run a shortened cup. cup up front should be bout an inch on the bottom, top will be fine at 3", and give ou plenty of lift without bottoming out when ou try to lay it out. in the rear, shorten the top cup by an inch to two inches and that thing will lay like a fat kid on a hand towel. you start getting into larger wheels, it's gonna take some work........i have mine on 22's and now it needs new upper and lower arms up front, and the cups shortned a bit more in the rear to get it back on the concrete.

btw- if it's a 4 door and have the 2 piece driveline, you won't have to do the driveline tunnel, it will be fine,........but if you're going to be in there and you ever want to put it on some big feet, then you may as well notch it the 2" it needs and call it done.
