    I just took another look if I want trail grapplers in a 16” I think I’ll have to go with a true 33” ...I guess I’m fine with a bit of trimming.
    I really wanted to go LT just cannot bring myself to cut the hell out of my fenders or replace them all the way.
    I’ve already done the 4:88’s and front locker, so yours or the 33’s will be more then enough

    Look up people running 33's with 2.5 lift. You will find out everything you need to know..

    Just thought if you need to run 33's there might be people who can tell you what's needed to fix any rubbing.

    Talked with Accutune @*TRD* through PM going to have my Fox2.5 DSC’s custom tuned by them. Really very reasonable. And for the amount we’re all paying for these Kings and Foxes it makes total sense for a few bucks more to set them up for optimum performance both on and offroad.
    Can’t wait to get these done and on!

    I will definitely post back the custom tune report when it’s finished. I’m going to drive down to bring shocks (7hrs.) then bring them back for install.

    Hey, thanks for your response. This helps justify my desire to upgrade! In regards to UCAs, I already have dirt king heimed UCA's. I completely agree with you on how much of a PITA the long bolt was to remove and reinstall. Just curious, did you opt fo the extended option? Also, did you get the adjusters?

    Anyone do the buy your own punch and shave it down to adjust your coilovers? I think I saw that 5/16 is the size? Any advice?

    You the real MVP! So he just cut the end off and used that cut off portion to adjust?

    An unusually high amount of pinstriping.
    I used the advise in @mlevinson post and did the same, worked great. Yes get a cheep 5/16" punch and cut the end off and use that.

    Haha sorry if this is a stupid question, but why even cut the end off at all?

    He used another punch or tool to push on the cut off end by tapping it with hammer or mallet just enough to get the tool on again.

    Without a spanner wrench you can't always get the holes around far enough to get to the next one with the hose in the way. This little piece can go under the hose as seen in the picture

    This. You have to cut the end off so it will fit between the collar and the hose for the reservoir. I used a socket extension warped in some cloth and a dead blow hammer to push the caller around so you can grab the other hole.
