Strike that.
How fast was that pass on the vid?
I have a 4wd I am converting to 2wd too (not like yours by any stretch)
So I am also interested in the rear spring mounts. Or Bag?
4wd frame is more narrow in the rear right?
I don't feel bad anymore. I'd feel worse spending a bunch of coin on a truck that wasn't truly what I wanted.

The vid was a 12.1 et pass if I remember correctly. I didn't get my fast pass on vid that night, which was an 11.95.

Regardless if you go spring, or bags, you will need to either buy or fab a spring mount on the outside of the framerails, since as you mentioned, the frame rails are narrower at that point on the 4x4 frames. I am not going with coils, or bags, so my setup will be different than most. The coilover setup will be similar to a 4-link, in the way that they're mounted.
