i agree. i think that's what im gonna do. in the pics the tubs are on the tires. bumpstops will make it an inch higher in the rear when aired out making it a tad higher and may look better anyway. i may flip the hitch ball over to spark......minitruck style...halfway joking....haha

exactly. bumpstops are the plans i just hate that the step notches arent even being used. i could have kept the c-notch. still would have had to cut the bed for the rear end though

yeah, im thinking on yours....if you do the front like mine.....all you will need is a c-notch and you wont have to cut your bed or mess with your tubs in the rear either.....easy cheezy....im thinking now though i wish i would have gone with 3/8's dump valves instead of 1/4 inch. a little too slow...going down....1/2 in up is perfect
