C notches definitely help and how are you lowered in the back? (setup wise). My truck is 7" with almost no wheel hop at all and imo rather stiff. I've hauled scrap/engines/car parts/dirtbikes etc in it with no issues

Axle flip out back for 5 inches and brand new cal max shocks. The truck has 150k on it so the springs have been beat I'm sure. I have a sway bar I need to put on the rear when I get motivated too. I think the rear springs are just tired tho.

Got me a Lil 6 inch led light bar and slipped it in the grill for some extra light.



Some jack ass at my work busted out my window. Didn't take anything. Luckily I had a spare window at home.



I got a set of explorer seats I'm going to swap in and a set of cobra wheels that I just got tires for. Need to have them mounted and balanced now.

Yeah. Might have to drop in tire size. I think they are gonna rub... also wanna get some 1/2 inch spacers for the rear to give it a better stance.

The fronts rub the inner fender wells really bad. The rears shouldn't rub. We shall see.

Is that your lower control arm? You have no travel... what do you mean camber clearance problems?
