Thanks the bad part about the chevys ........... its point less to bob cause the rear of the springs are so long.

I wouldn't necessarily say its pointless to bob the tail section. I ended up taking off 8.5" Of mine because I cut the frame right next to where the chevys mount. I actually had to cut two holes in the tailgate, but that didn't matter beause I gutted the window as well and cut the top in half. Anyway a pic is worth a thousand words.

I have actually never drug my bumper, and the bumper acts as somewhat of a bumpstop because my shackles now bottom out on it since I added the lower tube (to be legal)


Shows rear where I cut the holes.
