A Few Goodies

I was working about a mile down the street from the Summit Store in McDonough and bought me an Add-A-Leaf Kit and a 2" Shackle. I cant wait to install them on Saturday. I got them on Tuesday and it is just ****in killin me. I wish I got off work earlier in the day and I would knock one out one day and the other the next. Oh well, It will give me something to do after I get home from eating at Shanes for Free, LOL.
Here are the links of what I got for future references.

Rear 2" Shackle (Summit Brand but the same as the Beltech except Cheaper, lol)

with all of the lift in the rear, what do you have planned for the front?

if you took the block out it might sit level.

I am going to be ordering some spindles very soon for it so it will sit level again.

I have larger tires. I picked them up the same week I got all of the other parts. I am just waiting till we have a little extra money to get them installed. And for the record, they are BFG A/T LT265/75R16.

Same here. I gotta wait till I get the money together.
I might be getting the new (well, used) tires installed this weekend hopefully but if not this weekend definately next.
I know it will look alot better once I get the tires put on. It will set it off much better with them.
They same guy I picked my A/T's up from also has a set of Mud Terrains for $50 in a 285/75R16. If I had the money I would get those as well to have some bigger tires for when I get the spindles.
