    Not yet. Plus it's got full hydro steering so I'm not sure how that will do on the street yet.

    So I really haven't done much of anything to the truck since I last went out wheeling which was in October. Anthony and I completed the body lift and when we did that we cranked the coil overs down and also switched out the rear shackles back to a stock length.
    Essentially added 1 inch of body lift and then removed an inch worth of suspension lift at the same time.
    I have the same ride height but the suspension feels so much better now.

    Getting to my point: when we did this I did take the truck to get the alignment done however, I found out that one of the new greaseable lower control arm cam bolts on the front passenger side had rounded out. It wasn't too big of a deal because it drove straight but they were unable to get the alignment where I really want it to be. I'm rubbing a little bit and a proper alignment would fix it.

    Since we're due for some shitty weather I got underneath the truck remove the lower control arm skids removed the front IFS skid and swapped out the bolt.
    I also took the opportunity to get the grease gun out and hit all of the zerks.

    [​IMG]

    This is the rounded out cam:
    [​IMG]
    The greaseable option is nice but I don't think they are as strong as the OEM ones.
    I'll see if I can squeeze in an alignment some point this week. :)

    I also spent some time thinking on whether or not I really want to size up to 37's. More on that at another time though...

    Yeah... I think going OEM & just keeping up with them is a better way to go.
    Not sure where I stand with that now... :eek:
    Today was the only shot I'd get for a while unless I hit up Jerry to do it in his shop. :eek:

    Would probably match up better with your CBI, but your Elite looks good. The only hybrid I would ever get is a BF. Still something that looks "unfinished" with hybrids though.

    I will say that TheBusDriver's BF looks good.
