I got some 6 ton stands today....

I think they start at like 14" and go up to 20".... Kinda had to think....maybe just a little bigger would be better

Now if I could find someone to do it for me, I would be set

Ok I am finally happy....

the shocks helped a good deal...I was pretty skeptical about spending so much for them but they are pretty good.

And now I just did the 2" shackles and I it seemed to help pull it all together. A good ride and it sits level.... exactly what I was looking for.


Only have one question..... which way are the shackles suposed to face?

I put them solid side forward and the opening to the back. I alread had the first one sitting up there and thought about it for a min or 2. The stocks are solid side forward and after looking at it I didnt think it would bind up or anything....

Thanks for the suggestions

FYI on the stands.....

I only had to put it up one notch for the tires to come off the ground about an inch....2 inches plus after the shackles were on...

6 ton seems to be the best bet...worth the extra few bucks
