Yeah with your nice shock spring set up and long radius arms that truck will flex out really nice! You might even be able to get ride of some of the body lift to make it a more stable trail tuck as well! just my thoughts.

agreed.. ditch the body lift. it actually flexes more than i thought it would... i had little hopes. most trucks that tall are done w/ just super stiff and posers only.

Your shackle angle looks terrible! At full droop the shackle should be vertical and at full stuff the shackle should be horizontal. Or as close to that combination as possible. Just my opinion tho.
