    Did you level out the truck and fix the driver side lean?

    If so, what was your setting at?

    @surfrat You are a blessed man, you have a beautiful wife/friend/soulmate. Many of us strive and work for that and never see it in our own lives. Know you have my thougts and prayers. :pray::fingerscrossed::pray:

    Do not fear, have faith and hope. She has the right frame of mind and will come through it all with an unmatched strength of heart. Just be there for her brother.

    My wife's uncle was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer 7 years ago and given 4 or less years to live. Yep, math failed. His had spread over his entire body before they found it, but he is living proof that positivity, faith, hope, and (German) stubornness can beat most anything. He looks stronger and better today than he did 8 years ago. I understand Russians are a bit stuborn as well. :D

    Aside from all that... Grats on the new truck and the quick start on the mods. both your Tacos look great. :thumbsup:

    I lost my aunt to breast cancer last month after a long hard 4 year battle. I wish you and your wife the smoothest recovery possible. Stay strong brother.

    hey man i hope all goes well . Just 3 months after I met my gf of two years, she was diagnosed in both breast also. She is in the medical field and she didnt think twice about having it done. She got lucky and didnt have to have chemo or radiation She is my hero . She never bitched or complained. And now when I bump my elbow or something i bite my tongue. Thats nothing compared to what she went through. She told me she wouldnt hold it against me if i ran since we havent been seeing each other long. But i stayed. Im so glad i did. We called her T-Rex for months because she wasnt supposed to raise her arms above her chest. Mine got her new bigger boobs and they are starting to feel real good ( at least to me, she still cant feel anything). You guys got this. Good luck and if you need someone to talk to just hit me up. Ive been there.

    Whoops!
    From what I have read unless you are lifting above 2” there is no need for a 1/4” spacer on the driver side.
    The previous 2016 I leveled the same way.....could not tell any driver side lean....hence why I did it the same way on the QS....no 1/4” spacer.

    Installed nfab light weight rock sliders.

    UPDATE: I'm glad I posted this, because helpful people informed me they're not good as sliders because they bolt to the body instead of the frame. I'll be selling these.
