    lol. bending that lower edge was a PITA.

    Looking forward to seeing if/how it affected wind noise from the rack.

    If I had a way to manufacture them quicker I would. The heating/bending process was tedious as hell and difficult to do. I'll probably make one for corey.... with his assistance it'll be a lot easier. Im sure you and adam can handle it too.... dont need any special tools other than a cheap heat gun.

    Im going to make another set of my 1/2" rear spacers today.... I took the springs off my load levelers and lost 1" (as expected) so im going to bring the rear up another 1/2" like originally planned.

    Im still not sold on the rack idea mainly Im just to lazy to come up with low profile mounts. Id really like to get alil more lift from the front and maybe even rear. I know it will negatively affect down travel but cant justify SL right now

    I'm running the 1/4" spacers on the front of mine which brings the front up ~.5". Then install my rear spacers and you're set.

    For low-pro mounts you can probably use your current rail mounts and just put a straight bar across instead of the stock bowed ones. How tall are those stanchions?
