    Got alignment too at island brake and alignment.

    Swung by recon to ask about the windshield, and they said I need to fix the windshield and my brake lines. Everything else looks good. Brake lines can't be touching anything, so I need to add some standoffs.

    Yeah :D just ziptied right to the axle :rofl:

    I didn't want to weld tabs for the brakes until I get the hydro bumps done since I still gotta make strike plates.

    It'll be even funnier when he tries to order from their site, but they won't ship it to Hawaii because it's haz mat :laughing:

    Got my clock spring in the mail today, so I got that swapped out. Now my horn works and airbag light is off. Also got the truck back from ace auto glass because they replaced my windshield. All that's left is welding on some tabs to mount my brake lines, and I'm also making some clamps that will let me run the lines up the top link. Hopefully next week I can take it down to recon again and pass :cool:

    Swapping out the clockspring was pretty easy thanks to this thread:

    Long way to go before it's ready to wheel.

    BTW, if you are ever in the area, swing by and grab your tires! :laughing:

    took two days but made it through the entire SAS portion. Mad respect man for tackling it, and super clean installation. Almost makes me want to tackle it on mine... Almost haha
