Also how are you getting that much flex in the rear! And what length shocks are you using?

Honestly i dont think the rear drops out enough.Id like to see more travel.This truck was my first lift and first real 4x4 toy. The reason i say i want more is because the truck is soo light in the rear it seems like i have to really get the weight over the rear and focused on that corner to get it compressed. I have a 3inch extruded block in there and stock springs. The block scares me cause i get some wrap over loose rock. After watching it it was not near as much as my friend made it out to be but still i dont want wrap. I used a cheap shackle kit i found at a parts store. I had them on my old 4runner to kill the sag and with a 3inch lift i wanted to get the back higher then the front so i could sit level with the topper on in the winter and some more room for tire stuff. The rear wheel arch hangs down a lot more im finding and rubbing is easy running 36/14.5/15's is a close fit as is. Im playing with a few ideas for the rear to get more down travel and limit the uptravel so i can keep the 36's on. When i get a chance to try it i will be posting pics of it. For now heres some flexed out pics. This is all she wrote...longer shocks are going to be a must because theres maybe another inch left.When we picked the shocks they were the same size as the procomps that came in my 4inch 4runner lift. We went to the store played with rancho shocks and found ones we could make work using the stock locations.I can get the part# if you want it.
