    Do NOT run the shim type spacers without extending your lugs. The stock front lugs are stupid short as it is.

    Take it from me ('99) that's not going to fix your full flex rub, you're just going to get into the fender. get longer bump stops, trim, and if you have the same issue as me, axle relocation blocks for the rear. $.02

    The 98-00 typically have locking ones so you just swap it

    I rekeyed mine all i did was take apart the lock and kept rearranging the pins untill my key worked the lock
    Took maybe an hour
    Also i snagged the lock out of another fuel door so i had extra pins to make sure i had enough for my lock to be keyed to my key

    Replaced lower ball joints and inner and outer tie rods. Passenger side wasn't too bad but both driver side ball joint and outer tie rod boots were ripped. Overall it went a lot smoother than expected.image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    Giving the bumper a new shade tonight. Gloss black instead of the grey I got it as. And covering up the bare metal from the new light tabs.

    Almost got my rigids fully wired. Only thing is that the harness is like an inch too short and the connectors they use on it dont fit on daystar switches, which I find a little odd. So going to extend the wire and add bigger female pieces.
