i used $4 worth of cinder blocks and $5 worth of 2x4's cut into 1 foot pieces. worked great and much cheaper than jack stands

Nope, Don't work at woodys just like the sticker. and yes I do live in Vancouver.



Also i got the brackets on today and this just didnt look right. It is the Front beam bracket and it doesnt sit flush. The part on the left is the stock coil bucket. Any ideas? do i need to put a spacer in there to level it out?

Also I was just thinking, the pad thing that was on the beams was probably because Brian was running Jeep coils on his rig.
