    @Law323 , on your stock rear leaf spring pack, does the #2 leaf (below the one with the bushing eyes) have a curved loop that 1/2 encircles the forward shackle eye?

    This is for minimizing axle wrap under hard acceleration and you will lose this with the Icon helper pack, should you choose to go this route. Unless you're SC'd it may not matter. Just something to be aware of, perhaps.

    Cool thing is this is without a aftermarket shackle. You can always move the coilover up and get a shackle / leaf system (Dakar, Deaver, etc) and dial in exactly what you want.

    Well.....shit.

    The "buddy" that was supposed to help me install my BOSS is a piece of shit and I can't, in good conscience, allow him to help me. Options are limited and sadly, so is the bank account (thank you debtors) so.....won't be getting my struts on for another couple of weeks.....

    Shit.

    I did my spacer lift with a buddy and loved it..... Problem is, I borrowed the floor jack from a neighbor, and I had a driveway.

    Now, I don't know anyone that has a floor jack nor do I know anyone well enough that knows how to do half the shit I do on trucks and my options for a place to do the work is the street where I park, a parking lot that never has a spot open much less enough room for my tundy or a sloping gravel lot behind my quadplex.

    I'd spend close to the same amount of money buying a proper floor jack and torque wrench as I would on an install. So with my options, I'd just rather get someone to do it for me.

    I could wait another 2 months before I go back to BR and get the stuff together....but I ain't waiting that long!
