    The day my tires wear out, stepping up to a 15x8 and 33x12.5. For now the 33x10.5 is ok but not ideal. Next mods for your truck?

    We'll for some reason my dash lights are not working when I turn my lights on at night. I have no idea why? I need to fix that. The lights for the radio or a/c knobs don't work either

    I'm currently trying to get my 882's on, I disconnected the sway bar and read that would be enough to fit these, do I need to take the UCA off to do this ?

    Nope you shouldn't need to. Take a bottle jack and a 2x4 like 8-10" long and put the base of the jack on the UCA with the 2x4 at the wheel well. Extend the jack up and it'll lower the LCA enough to line up the bolt.

    does anyone have a picture of this?

    seems like it would put a lot of pressure on the wheel well though, right ?
