Oh almost forgot the most technical data!
I dont think i wanna remove my bumpstops!
I dont think i have ever been near them, but im only at 2" rear drop now.
With the axle flip i think its going to be close when loaded up with crap and driving down some roads.
And i sure as hell dont want to mini notch it, cause that will just lead to more.
If i notch i will want to run a bigger than needed notch, if i do that we will have to do
a triangulated four link... then bags etc... You know how that starts.
I have already decided that i will not be cutting into it until its completely paid off. (only 6Gs left)

although drop spindles do greatly effect your turning radius!

true, some of the smaller SUVs i work on have the rack mounted between the engine and the firewall, and that completely changes everything of how the vehicle reacts to bumps and what not, even it stock form.....
