Should have stuck with the sierra :D

If you have the welder out you may as well reinforce both sides...

...its already started :twisted:

are your shocks to long and are bottoming out before the diff hits bumpstops, might be worth checking, otherwise they may have broken due to fatigue.

The original shock bracket is not to flash.

This is my mod to them.
