    TC says you need 1.25" spacers to make outboard shocks work. It might be tight even at that for extreme flexing which I don't typically do but still...

    you probably need spacers, and i think your shock will be bottoming out as it sits now. But only one way to find out.

    Would it hurt anything to put spacers? I really don't want to, the wheels are 3.5" bs and I have 255s. Really like the way it looks now and don't want it pushed out any further.

    It is. Excellent meats, not to crazy about the self service setup, but it looks to be very popular. Ribs were extremely tender but needed sauce.

    I'm always looking for a better rib.

    Holy shhhhh! Do some research on Amazon, or ebay, damn, you can replace every bulb in your truck with led for like $25. Minus the headlights. And there's not too much difference between all of them besides fitment.

    1. Changed the spark plugs.
    2. Changed the air filter.
    3. Changed the drive belts.
    4. Swapped out my clutch master and slave cylinders for a new Asin set. Works like new now, feels very similar to my Jetta's pedal.
    5. Drained and refilled the trans and transfer case with Red Line MT90.
    6. Looked at changing the fuel filter, decided to wait, since it is a complete nightmare to get at.

    Fuel filter is located under the driver side door about. Thought it was pretty easy to change. Like 5-10min.

    Not on the 2.7. It's under the intake manifold, bolted to the side of the block. You have to access it through the driver side wheel well.

    I just tried the JDM 10 pack from Amazon. They were highly rated and the color and brightness were awesome. Unfortunately 7 of the 10 burned out within 48 hours.

    Operator error. Or ficticious. My guess. I haven't had 1 item burn out on me and I've literally ordered 100's of led's from strip lighting, to my projectors/headlights, to replacing every single bulb on my truck, and some. Paying $25 for 2 bulbs is outrageous but suckers buy them everyday thinking they are better. Ok.
