Yep, that is how we roll. It's roughly 1.5" lower than the front, sure better than the 3" it was!

all my wiring is always overkill, will certainly handle the 520w of off-road lights. the stock alt may hate me a little however. I'll look into how it's doing once i get the bulbs. may only bump the middle two lights to 130 for now.

good to hear someone actually doing wiring right around here then... and your alt its fine its 1300w of lighting that it has a problem with i have been down that road
#12
yep, all soldered, circuit breaker (hate fuses), relay feeds directly off the alternator output to keep the load out of the stock wiring as well.

I didn't think about undoing the shocks.
Does it ride any better with the shackles installed?

haha....yeah....i was actually installing shocks when that pic was taken. if you look in the pic, there is no driver side shock. hmm...guess you could unhook the shocks for more droop. Basically....jack in the middle of the pumpkin. There is a sweet spot that'll let the bolt slide right out...it's like in between upward tension and downward tension. Use a jack to find that sweet spot and it'll slide right out...and in. lol.

i didn't bother unhooking the shocks, nor do i notice a ride difference. I just jacked my truck up from the rear, and put one of my tall jack stands under my hitch. with that there i unbolted the top, took the nut off the bottom and sorta hung my weight ont he spring so i can clear the bolt from my hitch and spare tire. Just saved time, rather than unbolting the hitch, spare, etc. Easy job!
