Bronze Fire 5.0 leveled with HD Suspension drop shackles set at 1" hole and factory 4x4 lift blocks removed. Shackles came from Amazon, well made in the US (Cali). Coating is good quality, pre-installed rubber bushings with no squeaking or weird noises. Happy with the subtle finished look and haven't noticed any vibration or difference in ride quality. It actually feels better to me, less hopping/floating around over rough pavement.

Getting closer to sorting out wheels/tires .. but I still get a headache when sorting out the wheels. I get the stock ones are +44. and that closer to zero moves the wheel out. and a "-" number moves it further outside the wheel well/fender. But for all that is holy.. I can't tell whether a +18 is really any worse than a "0" when it comes to this as I can't tell by pics whether it really matters enough to care. I know I want the wheels/tires combination to be closer to the edge than currently with stock. and figure I have a 2wd.. and will, at most, do a 1.5+ (maybe 2".. but I like a little rake) and figure - 17" wheels and at largest 275/xx/17 (still sorting out the tire size). How does one figure out the offset without just going nuts? :-)
