Do you think there is enough room for a shockwave to work?

Here are some pictures of mine test fitted FINALLY. Suspension still needs to settle but should match the rear just fine. Also the 800lb spring rate on a 12" spring seems to be the magic number for my truck. On the 2wds the lower bracket won't be needed, you can run a 5" lower T-Bar mount and be fine. Mine being 4wd had to run Atomics bracket to space the coilover away from the CV shaft to give it more clearance... Overall fit and finish is great can't wait to start testing once the new setup is done.

I applaud you Atomic on your efforts making parts for us truck guys. I was talking to someone a couple months ago (forget who it was), but your screen name came up and we where talking about how you just kind of snuck into this niche market and seem to be having some success with it. Good job man.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I still have a full time "real job", so this is just for fun because I like making stuff and dont really care about cars and would rather do trucks. Thats what I know and there are plenty of guys that make stuff for cars already (not that I couldnt expand to that if I wanted). Not a whole lot of dedicated truck guys out there so I saw an opening for truck specific type parts. I intentionally dont advertise outside of forums on FB since I dont have the time or energy to move a ton of volume of products, I'm more of a quality over quantity type of guy.

Thats hilarious. I remember know it was you.

No worries atomic, we bashed the **** out of you first, then said nice things.
