I am!! I just mounted a couple of these awesome bud vases in my truck! I can send you the link if you want. I do want to warn you though, it doesn't come with the pretty flower.

When those first came out with the integrated vase, i would laugh every time that I saw one.

Ugh. Mine should be even stiffer than yours then... I’ll plan ahead and dig out a bottle jack, straps and blocks of wood to see if I can flex the ****** if I have to

You can't without damaging the underbed support... If you look under your bed you will see a thin aluminum cross member. The spring hits it preventing it from coming up far enough to get the bolt out.

Right now it is sitting in my garage with no front bodywork and all of the accessory wiring cut and hanging.

I'm in the midst of rewiring the entire truck.

Once I'm done with the rewire (converting to all Switchpros), Then I'll fit the new front glass that I've been staring at for 4 months, do a little fiberglass work on the bedsides, and replace the passenger doors.

After that it needs a new headgasket.

Then it will get wrapped.

Then i'll drag it out to cali to have the cage and tin work done.

The rest of the stuff that I need to do is maintenance and/or fixing broken stuff. ( like the lower steering shaft, removing, sanding and repainting different parts, replacing hardware, etc etc. I need to get the truck back to the shop to have the guys change a few things too).

I've been hammering on the truck for a couple of years now and its time to tear her down a bit and make her pretty again.

Probably won't see any prolific pics as shell be in pieces for a couple of months.
You going back with the same color? I just dropped mine off at Kevin’s shop to get her wrapped.

I attempted to install my new RPG shackles but no joy. I could not get the upper bolt out that holds the shackle to the spring. The frame is in the way no matter how high or how drooped I made the rear end. While I was in there I did some rust removal and some lubrication.
My deavers came with a new bolt and I was advised to cut the stock bolt out. But the new bolt is installed on the opposite side so it can be removed. If you want to save the bolt you could remove the frame mounted part of the shackle and maybe drop the leaf down.

You are referring to the front side spring bolt. The shackles are the rear mount.

Your right that was the front bolt. I did an RPG drop shackle with my deavers and I attached the shackle before installing the springs. I would disconnect the rear shock and frame mount shackle bolt. And drop the axle down.
