    All thought the bolts on the frame horns seemed kinda wacky so I'm thinking that's where the issue is..

    I don't have anything under the headlights on either side lol and Matt and I tried to tighten the bumper but all 6 bolts are tight, I don't know why it has so much play in it but I'm not liking it even more now that I don't know what's causing it

    I think it's because there's no actual bolts into the frame horns. I'd say we should try to see if theres a hole in the mounting bracket for a bolt directly to the frame horn and of there is, pick up some bolts and see of those help

    883s. We'll see how she rides. I expect stiff. But I'm ok with that. I want a bumper eventually so that's why I stayed away from 881s

    Nice. I want bigger coils on mine to get rid of some if not all of the rake but I'm not sure what I'm gonna go with yet. I don't know what's on it now since the previous owner only knew the lift was, and I quote, yellow.
