Yeah it does. I wish I would have been able to get my shocks and stuff done in time to make it out there with you guys. But shocks are in now so I need to get an alignment and figure out how I'm gonna get the rear part of the lift done so I'm not looking like a prerunner anymore.

Trust me we tried that. All the bolts did was spin. Me and Gotme1 worked on that for a long time. Joe, we need to have another build party sir.

sounds like the welded on nuts broke free. u might have to cut them out with a sawzall. i had to do it to mine last year. for the front leaf spring mount just cut a hole big enough for a wrench to get on the nut and go from there.

I'm looking at just picking up some new 4.5 inch leaves to just swap in instead. I'd be down for another build party soon. Hopefully won't be quite as long as the last one haha
