Twins

How cute. :rolleyes:

His and hers?

Actually they are his and his, but uh, not like THAT! :o One on left is Schlud's and the one on the right (the cool one!) is mine. Schlud's garage has become an Xterra upgrade shop. :D

Charles' is the low one. Heh heh heh. :p

I figured as much... :) Does Charles have SLR shackles? I'm assuming he doesn't, or he has a lot of weight in the back...your tires are big, but not THAT big. :p

I have shackles. Schlud's rear springs seem to be unusually high and mine are sagging a bit. Plus, I did have more weight in the back. My truck is conistent with all other PNWX trucks that have shackles though (even with the bumper on), so either everyone's springs are sagging or Schlud got some extra stiff ones. His truck is actually higher in the back than Ian Firth's with the 3" lift kit by atleast an inch.

There's a guy in MAXC whose truck is like that (front and rear, actually.) I have a picture somewhere of him, me and Pikachu...he's within an inch of me (he's completely stock), I had the shackles and 32" Swampers, and then Pika's another inch or so above me (his SLR/National Springs are actually even more arched than the off-the-shelf ones that come w/ the SLR lift, esp. when he doesn't have much weight in the back.)

(For all you guys in MAXC reading this, it's Rob's Silver X...)

If you get a chance, measure the space between your rear axle and the bumpstop. Schlud is about 5-1/4" and mine is about 3-1/2" with the bumper on, tools in the back, and my subwoofer. Without stuff I'd probably be at 4", which is what I should compare to the 5-1/4" measurement I got on Schlud's. It would be interesting to see where you sit. Mosi was riding about an inch off his bumpstops at Moab! :(

OK, back to my pictures and bumper project! To KMA I give you :flipa:

Mine appears to be about 3 inches with no weight in the back :(

Yes, but you don't have 2.5" shackles right?

You are right. I misread the post and thought 4 inches was the measurement for stock.
