    You can also use a #3 screwdriver and cut the tip off then filed it down to size and use that. Works wonders too since it's a reinforced tip.

    You'll be fine with what you have. you gotta let the springs settle. It doesn't happen in a week. Several hundred miles for it to properly settle down.

    Yeah, I know. I wanted to buy some, but the wife would not let me. She DID let me buy a $28 dollar bottle of bourbon barrel aged ale this weekend though.

    You have the market slice the beef? We do EVERYTHING by hand. Total pain in the ass, but that way I can call it all home made. If you are at the camping event, I hope I get to sample your masterwork!

    Anymore than an inch and you have to be limiting coil play. Must be. I mean geeez, the shock play is not succumbing to spring play on down travel. Especially with an LT front. What am I missing? I wanna learn.

    King has a horrible design with that pick. They do sell a spanner wrench. I used the t wrench today and it worked great. Just lift the front end for droop.

    I don't want a level truck. I want rake all day when unloaded. An inch of rake is money.

    Steel or aluminum front bumper?



    Depends where you order from. Down south for me if going new. Craiglist finds are different.

    Yup I was thinking of DSM when I was referring to 650 as standard. He got it from Toytec so it probably is different.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    First Glock I shot was 45. Felt.meh and about like the 1911. I have a good firm grip though.

    If that's the case you don't need 700 for a aluminum bumper. 650 you'll be fine. Just go with 14" springs instead of the standard 13"

    I want steel but if i have to settle ill take the alumminum .. i just feel steel offers more protection from bad drivers and big rocks
