Yeah. They tucked in pretty good... Had a little rubbing. lol.
Ain't a big deal really. If the tires were strait it would have been fine, but I had the wheel turned to the left too far.
Won't be running the 49's anytime soon.

Your running stacked blocks right? How is that working for you?

In that last picture it kind of looks like you have fluid on the inside of your passanger side tire, or is that just me?

No stacked blocks. Zero-rate AAL with a 4" block. Yes there is fluid there. Good eye. It actually is just water, when it was flexed the axle seal leaked a bit and apparantly I've got some water in my diff.
I put all new wheel bearings and seals in it. Going to do the axle seals when gears get done.

Not a block. Blocks don't bolt up to your pack.

So besides the bolt how is a zero rate different than a block? It still creates the same leverage on the springs as a block.. And isn't that why people diss blocks?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not sayin anything bad about blocks.. We all know I have been running stacked blocks for years now... Why do you think I asked to see pics of your traction bars

Yeah but think about it. Its bolted to the pack. Therefore it cant really be spit out and its only 1" tall. Stacked blocks are just sitting on top of each other. And approx 8-10" tall. Kinda explains itself. Im not bashing your truck. Just a statement in general. Your worked for the money and bought the parts so do what you want.
