    Greased up my TC UCA. Noticed that the UCa's at full droop touch the coils. Sunovabeach. What next?

    hey Boats, there is a thread here somewhere about unplugging the TPMS... I think the sensor is located in the headliner above the rear window.

    Rotate the coil so the uca falls between the coils

    Simple

    Use the provided tool and move the adjuster until the uca clears the coil

    This is something that most people have to do with aftermarket coilovers and uca’s

    I was under the impression that using that tool was to adjust leveling, but I guess it would work for that, as well. I was also told to rotate the coils, though not sure how to do that.

    Using the tool is for adjusting, but if you adjust just a little bit then it will rotate the coil

    I have the same set up as you and have done this a bunch of times.

    Only other way would be to completely compress the coils. Which would be pretty ridiculous lol

    Two kids.
    Ordered a BakFlip F1 tonneau cover. I was torn between the F1 & MX4 since I like the matte black finish on the MX4. In the end I decided on the F1 because I was worried about getting dings in the aluminum skin of the MX4. The FRP panels on the F1 will give me more protection from things like hail and my kids. I hope to have it in time to install toward the end of the week :thumbsup:

    Did some breaking in in the past couple weeks. Going uphill with locker on/4LO and still no dice. It was basically just sand where my tire was and I couldn't move right due to a huge hole underneath the truck. The Colorado trail was pretty fun but it got a little knarly and I had to drive it back 8HRS so I turned around. Quite a capable truck for being stock. (Although I did do the trailer plug relocation prior to going to CO and thankful I did too or that hill side would've destroyed it.
