Lakewood Pics

Does anyone have any install pics of their lakewoods on their lightnings. I was wondering how many of those metal spacers you used to get the correct gap. Also, where exactly is your snubber located, I cant seem to get it directly under the front eye spring. Any feedback on the lakewoods and ofcourse any pics would be great.

I actually just put mine in the other day, and can try and get you some pics tomorrow. I had to use all the spacers to get the 1/2" clearance, and I too couldnt get the snub under the eye spring without putting the rear bracket between the axle and metal brake line. I didnt like the way it was so close to that line, so I ended locating it behind the metal line, and just let the snub hit the part right before the center of the eye.

I used all the spacers on my Lakewoods. The gap was dead on to their specs. My concern was axle-wrap and these bars have eliminated that. It is most noticeable at WOT going into second and third gears. Truck used to pull down hard in the back as the axle wrapped up. It no longer does that. Back end stays level through the shifts and leaps forward in it's pursuit of the finish line...

I used all the shims and cut the snubber to get the gap at 1/2"
