how did you prop the front end of quad up while its loaded in your bed. I have a 5.5' bed and the quad is barely too big for me to close the tailgate, maybe like 2-4" too long. I hate having the tailgate down and have thought about getting a bed extender but still a pain when pulling a trailer and having a quad in the back. Thanks!

thats about how far mine stuck out past the tailgate was about 2-4 inches. Just enough so couldn't close it and I was sick of tieing the tailgate up tight to the tires. I just put 2 6x6" blocks about 18" long length ways under the tires. And a 2x4 in close to the box and another 2x6 sitting on top of the 2x4 and the other end rested on the 6x6. So I'd say total height was 7-8 inches and I had about a half inch to spare when tailgate was up.

that is just what I had laying around at the time, but I'm going to weld up a small stand that I can lay in the back of the truck the right height so I want have to mess around with blocks and it will be more secure.

gonna try and make it soon so I'll post pics.

Took my brothers dslr camera out yesterday after I did a full clay bar and wax on the truck. Managed to get a couple cool pics.

Thanks guys! Hoping to get out and take a few more pictures before I take these tires and the wheels spacers off for winter.

I was also considering getting some bilstein 5100s on all 4 corners. However, I like the level height my 2.5” spacer gives me and I know the 5100s only go to 2.1”, so I was considering getting them and just running them at stock height (which I hear they ride the best on this setting) and just continue to run my 2.5” spacer. Hopefully this would give me a more firm and responsive feel in the truck and possibly eliminate or reduce some of the “shudder” I get when going over rough washboard type sections in the road.

what do you guys think??
