You unscrew it and it's off. Take the rack off with the cross rails on it. 1/10 on the hardness scale 10 being the hardest.

Have no fear, when modifying just add beer.

3/5 drop
Front: 2" belltech spindles, 1" bt coils, stock struts
Rear: 5"+ new belltech coils from tony, airlift helper bags (60748), rear hardware kit, djm lowering shocks, and free travel mod.
Haven't decided on rims yet. Still have to debadge, black out bowties and grill.

Actually rides very nice. No rubbing full lock either way or when hitting big dips. Body roll is significantly reduced. Which I love! The rear coils absorb everything and don't feel "bumpy" at all. My truck also floats down the freeway like a cadillac. I couldn't have been more happy with my setup.

On your helpers how hard was that to install? How much psi are you running in them. I bottom out on big dips if Im going to fast. I'm just afraid if I fill the cab up or put anything in the bed I will bottom out even more.
