    In the middle of some projects. Eventually I will. But you can tell HH6 that she was wrong. :)

    Finally got around to adjusting my kings to try and reduce the taco lean. I dropped the passenger side 2 turns, but now I think I should have done 3 or 4.

    Also, I found it funny in the instructions supplied with the shocks for adjustment they suggest clamping the lower eyelet on a bench-vise but if you do that the piston arm just turns. I had to clamp the top for it to work.

    After my last trip, I'm definitely adding limit straps to my to-do list as well. I noticed my passenger side uniball top thing has hit the edge of the UCA body on at least some occasion.

    Here's a visual the wife sent me after removing waterspots. Again, this is with AP expos.

    Looks very close to level. But the UCA angle doesn't look too bad from what I can see. Unless there is alot of weight in the back I question something on that setup.

    Bed empty, that rack is aluminum (~100 lbs w/storage pods), and I can almost guarantee those rotopax are empty.

    If people are backing up the load capacity then I can only think manufacturing defect or wrong PN spray painted on them. I did notice AP had a 2.0 version expo now :notsure:. Venting complete

    Yeah, something seems off if that is not loaded...

    This is fully loaded with food, water, and gear for 2 people (and a dog :) ) for 10 days in Baja. Almost level with my front.

    Don't forget your bumper. That counts too.

    Of course, and spare. Just trying to answer questions before they were asked. These leafs sat in my spare bedroom for about 10 months before being installed in February. So warranty expired and not something I was gonna have my pregnant wife deal with anyway. I'll ride them out the next 2 years I'm stationed in Hawaii and then get a custom set.

    With that little weight even the regular AP springs should be lifting it.

    Something is fucked. Good luck :)
