    If singles it would be heavy AF since they don't make one peso bills only coins. Would be pretty hilarious not being able to pick the briefcase up and drag it to him. :rofl:

    The Little Deer Lake extravaganza last month made it a lot worse. Going to live with it this trip, but gotta deal with it soon.
    Truck steering feels really bad, almost like it has been beaten hard off road for a long time. :notsure:

    If you can't take the heat, get out of the... oh wait, that's your job. ;)

    Fuck. I thought this was the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Must have gotten it confused with Icons... :cookiemonster:

    Only got one side done.

    #seventyfivepercentking

    I was texting with @Iggy around 9pm, about camper shit, and said I was going to swap coilovers, UCA's and try to be in bed by midnight. Put my tools away at 1am and only got one side done. Fuck working on trucks quietly. Also, I'm really slow at this stuff.

    Hope you don't need to adjust those things. Because adjusting those things is fucked compared to adjusting Foxs!

    The plate basically has to be slid on from the side because of the bends in it and also the close tolerances to the tailgate, especially the subtle, and stupid, outward bow at the top of the tailgate. Take your time.

    Okay quick question for anyone thats an alignment wizard or knows it is possible: Is it possible to get 3.0 degrees of caster out of TC Upper control arms/ King CO's @ 3"? And if so, where are you guys taking your trucks to get aligned cause I'm 0 for 2 right now...

    What part of the Bay Area? I don't know of a place, but someone may be able to point you in the right direction.

    I think @erok81 found a wheel works in the southbay that did it correctly.

    Heck yeah I did. They did what my home alignment shop couldn't do.

    I'll have to look it up again if anyone wants the address. The alignment guy actually knew what I was talking about and how to align around it.

    Livermore/Pleasanton area, but at this point I'm willing to make a reasonable drive elsewhere.

    What setup are you running? Trying to figure out if maybe I'm being limited by my TC UCA's? Does that sound right though? Figured I'd be able to get 3's out of them. The dealership managed to get 3.0 on the driver side today, but only got 2.1 on the other. Before they touched it, it was 2.4 on both sides and now they're telling me both sides are maxed out..
