Shop aligned the truck yesterday.
Got fairly close to factory, so I was happy.

Slapped the 22s on.

I did a fair bit of reading before doing this combo.
BUT you MUST mini tub the front to actually drive the truck.
Also needs the bed sides rolled.
After that it will drive like a normal car.....
Well unless you are at full lock in a parking lot....then noises...lol

Wrapped up the front mini tubs last night.
Also ghetto rolled the bed.

Yeah my buddy is probably doing a roll pan, so I think I will end up with his rear bumper.
Unsure what I will end up doing for the front.

Truck needs to go in for final body work (seal mini tubs and do a better job on fender rolling) so I might color match some of the textured black on the front end.

Been great.

Working perfectly to haul my bikes around too.

Went to install the helper bags the other day and ran into a problem.
When using the lower bracket the bag is to far "forward" to work with the upper mount location. I cant slide the lower mount because it is keyed off the axle tab.

I figure the easiest solution it to use a "universal" leaf mount, but so far I have had zero luck finding what I am looking for.

Any of you guys know were I can buy a lower mount to clamp onto the leaf?

Any update on this truck? Did you ever find a fix for your rear bag?

I just need to install a universal lower bag mount.

Update is I have been daily driving it and put 20k miles on it!
