    I have Alcans, be careful what weight you order. At first they told my +500#, I don't know if they meant that over stock or what. I thought that was too much so I went +200# with 3" of lift.

    In the end I got like 5 inches with no weight in the bed and a pretty stiff rear suspension. It's not too bad now after having 400 pounds of sand back there all winter. It's settled now a bit too.

    Haha why did you request 200lb load and 3" lift when you own no armor at all?

    So the high pressure lines on the steering rack have those unions on them and I think mine are seized since they won't slide anymore . Should I just take the BFH and PB too them ? I mean a dead blow of course , don't wanna round anything off . Also I turned my steering wheel while it was disconnected, what did I break ? :bananadead:

    Took a metal brush to the surface frame rust. I was surprised at how most of it came off but it wasn't too bad to begin with. Then used a tack cloth to wipe it down and coat it with fluid film. I'm pretty happy with the results
