    Next time use a razor or flathead screwdriver to get the old drain washer off. They always stick. It just takes a second to get it to pop off. Leaving the old one on and stacking washers isn't good.

    It should unless you're running a really large tire size.

    I'm on the stock suspension with 1" taller tires and my factory jack is barely enough to get the wheels off the ground lifting from the frame. I lift from the axle or LCA with the factory jack.

    I just had a flat the other day. I have the wheelers 3 leaf aal with 265/70/17 duratracs. factory jack didn't lift the truck high enough to put the spare on. lifted from the axle and was just a little short. I was lucky I had a couple of boards in the bed. duratrac blew out the side wall doing about 65 on the highway. I need to post a picture. tire had less than 500 miles on it

    Wow, glad youre ok. Makes me worry about mine. I wonder if you had a leak in the tire and it overheated.

    also like to say if you have never used the factory jack take it out and try it. don't wait to the coldest day of the year on the side of the highway like I did. the key on the end is not that easy to get into that slot to lower it.

    I agree that it's not easy.
    I used a flash light to get it straight.

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    Installed @ACEkraut 's low mount for the lic plate. Installed Cali-Raised ditch light harness, (2) Mic tuning wire harnesses, 32in bumper Nilight light bar/mounts along with their oem style switches. The 3rd harness is pre-installed for when I install the roof light bar down the road. The last switch blank is reserve for that.

    Hey! Thats where I put mine too lol! I like it in the bumper like that because you cant tell its there from the sides and it doesn't rebound off anything like the hood. Also it's nice since you don't have to drill in to the roof of your truck.

    I'll have to keep this system in mind for when I finally get a dirt bike.
