    Ah.

    So am I dumb to pay that much. I know electronics just not ac. Most Run caps use spade terminals I assume this is the same. I'm not paying someone over 300 to unplug4 or so wires. On such a new unit that is giving no problems

    I would say that is a little pricy. If you check out some YouTube vids and manuals and such to be sure, just give it a shot!

    I did mine. The worst part for you will be having to use a screwdriver to short the capacitor to drain it. It took me a few minutes to grow a pair of balls to do it. When I did, it didn't do anything because it was dead, yours won't be. Other than that, it should be less than 100 from a part store. Take a good picture of yours were you can read the specs and they can get you an equivalent.

    So after doing a little math this morning on the ole bank account, I might just have enough funds to get my lift and CVs purchased. My question is how necessary will UCAs be after I upgrade my suspension? Obviously I will be joining in on rides finally with the new suspension so itll definitely be used. If they aren't and absolute need, I may pass on them for a bit and keep a little bit of money in my nest egg since me and the wife are also trying to buy a new house in the next 6 months or so.

    If your T4R is riding fine with the lift with stock UCAs I'd just wear those bad boys out...do you have ~3" of lift? that's really when I noticed a difference. my old "3 inch spacer lift" (that didn't provide 3") rode a little better with the UCAs but not just amazingly noticeable. Then the Kings lifted me higher and I had an overall better ride with the TC UCAs and Kings.

    Yea it rides fine right now. The only thing right now is the stock XREAS is starting to make some noises and bumps are a bit rougher. But I just rolled over 112k miles and everywhere I have read is that the XREAS lifespan is usually around 105-110k so I am feeling a little lucky right now that it hasn't completely shit the bed yet. Once I get it paid off it will be my weekend ride and will get "used" much more and will prolly require better UCAs then. I also just rememeber that @TacoAlaMode is MIA for a bit and he is my go to for suspension installs and knowledge...(and now jack and stands since mine have come up missing:fenforcer:) So this install may be put on the back burner anyway now :(

    I don't have a good floor jack, but I have jack stands and can do a UCA install with you if it comes to that.

    Also, wtf is XREAS?
