    Yup, those are adorable!

    #wifey and I adopted this dude a few days ago:

    We've had dogs for years, but after losing one just over a year ago (@ ~16 years old), and then the second back in August (@ ~14 years old), we've been indoor-pet-free for a while (the goats don't count).

    That cat looks psycho. Just like the one my wife had to have. It's a great look!

    Cuteness is what stops us from killing them all. Oh wait, are we talking about puppies?

    What are you dealing with here? Refurbishing your own?

    Personally, what I did on my first gen (worked great) and have prepped for my second gen is:
    Chamfer the leaf tips.
    Flap disk any scale or rust between leaves.
    Ditch the pucks. They create gaps between leaves that are pockets for gravel, sand, and rust to accumulate.
    Spray several thin coats of dry moly between leaves.
    Install new clips liners. ARB should send you new ones free. Call customer service.
    Do not torque the front hanger pin (bolt) until you lower the truck to resting stance.

    Does anyone in San Francisco have a 3.5" hole saw I can borrow for one cut? Thought I would ask before going out to buy one. I just need it for one cut.

    Gained insight from @jberry813 and Deaver treatments. When I pulled off my POS Wheeers 5-leaf packs and the squeaky flush-faced high-surface-contact Daystar or whatever bushings, I was determined to get it mo betta.

    IIRC, Deaver even has some of this process on their site.
