    I was kind of worried that the red would be too much, but now I like it!

    Installed the same setup yesterday with a 1/2” spacer on top of the coils. I ended up at 22” hub to fender with full Mobtown skids and sliders. I thought I would end up with more lift than that. I’ll be installing a 1-1/8” top spacer next week. 18740966-571B-4AA9-A3EF-2A2A745AB808.jpg I do like all the red though

    Steel or aluminum skids? Now you've got me worried about how much lift I'll end up with when my SSO low pro bumper and winch are installed.

    Here she is right after install and backed out of the bay. It does have more rake than I was hoping for but we will see how it settles. It's the Baja kit with 1/4 inch spacer up front and a Deaver 3 leaf add a leaf in the rear with super bumps all around. Oh and of course nothing but the best for control arms JBA! The alignment came out great with 3 degrees of castor and the rest were right about 0.

    Yeah the rear come out a lot higher than I thought it would so hopefully it settles down. These control arms are so beefy and the alignment wasn't crazy out when we thru it on the rack after a little test drive.

    @Blackout14 Joe what do you think the best way is for me to clean all the rust off the Ball Joint caps and paint them red or black.

    So I’ve got a set of 16x8 SCS stealth 6’s they’re 3.5” backspace with -25mm offset I sent an email to JBA in regards to theirs note about 4.5 backspace w/ 255x85-16’s or bigger. Haven’t heard back yet, but that’s the tire size I was planning on, I’m buying parts separately until all I have left to buy is tires, UCA’s next then OME BP-51 lift then tires. Plan on CMC and whatever else is necessary. Think I’m good to go? I was thinking HD high caster cause why not HD if I can fork up the extra 200.

    IIRC- I believe JBA recommends 3-6 pumps every 3-5K miles.

    I do this but last time I pumped slowly until I just saw some grease ooze from the boot.
