    I have 4* shims for mine, but haven't installed them yet.

    Better add some type of traction bar (slappers, Caltracs, etc.). The belltech leafs allow it to squat extremely well on launch, but they made my axle-wrap/wheel hop worse.

    Shouldn't need new rear or front bumpstops. Just remove the rears and relocate them to the frame.
    Gone, but not forgotten!

    when I did my 2/4 It just said to cut the bump stops half off on the rear only. Let me know how those shocks work out. I think I might need to go with something different on my setup.

    I removed the bracket the rear stop is mounted to, and mounted it directly to the frame where there is already a hole line up perfectly. Gained me about 2".

    My stop was already mated to the frame im pretty sure. But I have a c notch now, so I had to hack that thing off anyway. Now I have a new one

    are you having problems, and the shims are higher on one end then the other, how do you install higher to the front or back

    so do you think oem leaf spring and go with a 3" shackle and hanger kit
