That’s essentially all the drop kit is. You don’t need a mechanic it’s just 2 bolts. Loosen them but only remove 1 at a time. I’ve done it to both trucks I’ve had and it will either remove all or most of it unless there’s other issues. I’d try this first next step would be shimming the rear.

Ok awesome, will do that, If i do end up needing to shim, how would I know what degree to get? is it kind of just trial and error?

also, when it goes back in for an alignment and retorque.. would it be worth it to just throw in a shim and washers while theyre under there? It would be great if it would come out of the shop running great lol

Not all today, but trying to place catch up. Replaced the ignition switch and both door locks. New shoes (General Grabber AT2 in 265/70R17) and got all of the TPMS sensors working. First oil change ever w/o spilling a drop of oil after adding an oil drain valve at the last change. And added a lock set to the storage bin in the bed. Decided to put both locks on the larger bin instead of one on each. Only one on the large bin made it so you could still pull out the door and just pry it off.

I may be doing this soon. My key is not always working in the ignition!

I did the MAS & Tbody clean today. Yup, about 96º here, and after 45 mins. I was drained of energy. Was a bit dirty in the Tbody.

Added a roof rack today and gave her a bath, I believe I’m done adding stuff....... Who am I kidding I don’t think it’s ever done. Need a few interior mods next.

Detailed the engine compartment and the exterior tomorrow morning. Also did a little patriotic decorating. Happy 4th of July, stay safe and “God Bless America”!

Installed my Tyger auto tonneau cover I got from Amazon today, and I'm loving it so far. Looks great, fitment is great IMO (some people get butt hurt by a 1/4" gap on each side). It came in really nice packaging as well. I went to power wash the truck today and no water was in the bed so I'm very pleased to say the least.

Drove my truck for the first time in two weeks yesterday, then decided it had collected too much dust in the garage so I washed it!

While in FL, I also saw a mod that is a must:

But with these:

Installed Total Chaos bed stiffeners in prep to mount the RTT. While being one of the more expensive options, these are very well designed.

Washed/clay bar/wash/waxed on Sunday, exhaust axel dump, full sized spare squeezed in, and interior detailed.

Still need another alignment (it’s still not right, NTB sucks and can’t understand how to adjust both front and rear lca eccentrics to move toe and camber). Also need to wire up my ditch lights and swap in my Rago fog brackets and Rigid Fogs to replace the faded CaliRaised brackets and pods that are filled with condensation.

The end of truck work for the summer is close... but then again, so is fall

My Caliraised pods had condensation in them the 2nd week they were in. Apparently they won't take care of it because they have some sort of vent that allows it to evaporate..... Still have yet to have that happen
