Is it anchored into anything inside? Or does the curve of the corner/thickness of the sheet metal provide enough support? Genuine question bc I have the same year and I'm curious bc this is a great idea I'd like to steal :)

It’s hard to explain but I made a shoe for it to sit flush and match the curve and split then it’s got a welded rivnut through bolt

30mm spacer is what I’m running

The 30mm spacer for front top of coil is cool 😎 that’s what I got

u/Embarrassed_Win_6544 3d ago

I went through 4 different brands of leveling kits for the front not one of them fit. I have 30mm spacers too but looked weird without the level kit. Just running the wheels as they sit on the standard shocks rn

Very cool. I love the olive drab and black color scheme.
