You can run em but why would you? They will compress down alot more then an inch with the weight of the sled on them and they can give you a bouncy ride. -

nothing wrong with having a truck that hauls everyday and plays on the weekends, but the rules require the bags to be disconnected, you must pull the line off of them and prove the bags are empty.

the reason being is guys can get through tech with the bags low...after the hitch is measured they like to fill them to max capacity and it puts the hitch above the limit. its just to keep people from cheating. -

I need to get pics of my new stops up...so simple to make yet so effective. you can remove them in under a minute with one wrench.

its a 1x3x.25" angle that gets bolted up where the stock bump stops were. on that is a piece of 3/4" box tubing welded vertically to the long side of the angle pointing down. I put a structural grade bolt through the angle and this 3/4 tube and then welded it in place. Now take some 1" box tube and you notch out one side and drill a hole in the center so it just fits over the other tube and then use the bolt/nut to hold it on tight. its worked great for me for 2 season, and its super light weight and for those who get serious, every pound you can take off the rear and put up front counts.

I will get pics soon to clarify how they are done.
