    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Wiring is easy. Why not DIY?

    Any type? Current draw and distance still matter into wire size.

    Did you get your rear end hooked up? Are you driving front wheel drive?

    Sorry haven't been following the threads.

    I love getting taxed $800 a week and get to pay even more come tax time. I'm just doing my taxes this year and this shit sucks.

    Reason for the rant! The money I had for gears and front locker is going to the IRS. :mad:

    Believe me I feel your pain. I don't do primarily freelance work anymore for that reason. But this year I did a couple of big freelancing jobs and I'm going to get hit hard next April for that.

    Ok so unless anyone has any tricks up their sleeve for adjusting Kings on the truck, I'm going to take them off to adjust them. Spent hours last night trying to adjust the preload on them, I can loosen the collar and turn them just fine but the problem is my SPC UCA/ball joint is in the way. It blocks one of the preload adjustment holes completely and the others are blocked by the shock housing when that happens, so I'm stuck. I've tried jacking the truck up with the wheel off the truck and there just isn't enough droop happening to clear the UCA/ball joint. It's almost easier to do with the truck completely on the ground, but it's still blocked.

    Only thing I can think of is maybe I need to remove the sway bar to allow for more droop? I'm not even certain that will solve the problem but if it droops more it might clear the collar on the shock so I can access it. I was able to turn the passenger side a few times more than the driver side so now I'm sitting about a half inch higher on the passenger side lol.

    When I did Chris's when we had the big mod day at his house. Put the front on jack stands then took the floor jack under the LCA to move the UCA out of the way as needed.

    Ok cool I'll try that, I had thought about doing the bottle jack trick under the LCA but it was already nearly 11pm so I just buttoned everything back up and figured I'll give it a shot tonight. Started to try to remove the sway bar but one of the bolts holding the end link together is bent, it won't slide out. Might be able to work it out if I take the weight off of it by raising up the LCA with the bottle jack.

    Gotta ditch that sway bar. All the cool kids are doing it.
