    I may have tweaked a few things...
    It really is nice! No more wobble or rocking, handles much better but still feels like a truck. I'm glad it didn't end up too stiff even though I gained a little over 1" up front. And I think that leveled me out perfectly. Even my wife finally agreed I did something to make a noticeable improvement :D

    I meant to go wash it but ended up getting it a little more dirty on a side road instead. Handled very well up to 30mph through the dirt parts, didn't push it more than that but looking forward to getting out and exploring again.

    Definitely, the ride improved considerably which was most of the focus. But I'm finding that I'm even happier with how it leveled out than I thought I would be. The truck has a great stance now. It's always nice when you wrap up a project on a positive note and you are excited to drive, even if it's just out to the store :rofl:

    Damn :(

    "We love our Pelfreybiltfamily and have never had any ill intentions to wrong a single person. We do wish everyone believed this truth instead of resorting to believing we’re the horrible people they’ve painted us into. After pouring everything into pelfreybilt and building the reputation for quality and customer service, why can’t people understand there’s something going on that’s out of our control rather than assuming the worst and defaming our character.

    The unfortunate truth is that we had an amazing team of investors willing to pour a couple million into helping us thrive & as a result we had to remain quiet, so asked the #pelfreybiltfamily for their patience. However, with people feeding lies on social media, stirring up negative publicity, and opening claims on PayPal, the investors pulled out. They deemed the #pelfreybiltfamily too volatile and risky to make the investment. As a result we had no choice but to file personal bankruptcy, and lose everything. We literally poured everything into the business and have lost everything: our business, our jobs, our home, our cars and the money we loaned the business.

    It’s heartbreaking to us to have given so much to the off-road community and to have built such an amazing company known for being one of the best in the industry, in just six years, yet have so many people turn their back on us and accuse us of as horrible things as fraud. All we’ve ever done is focus on providing the very best to our customers. We simply grew at a rate we struggled to keep up with, and refused to manufacture products of a lesser quality. Without capital to work with, it eventually took its toll and required investors.

    Regardless, what’s done is done and feelings aside, we wish we had better news, but unless someone steps up and is willing to take over Pelfreybilt, the debt owed both to vendors and customer, we don’t see a way for our customers to get their product(s) or refunds. This is less than the ideal situation, yet it’s the reality the #pelfreybiltfamily helped create by allowing negativity to influence their decisions rather than looking at our track record and believing in us to always do what is best for our customers.

    We wish each of you all the best, regardless.
    ♥️
    Satin & Tyler Pelfrey"

    Been keeping track of it and while I completely sympathize with them, communication is the #1 vital of any business. You can’t go dark for weeks and tell customers to be patient without any info. This is peoples hard earned money and for some a years savings. I know deals are sometimes closed lips but scattered communication and firing your staff sends the wrong message. That sucks for them, their business and the off-road community but IMO this could have all been handled a lot better.

    100 percent agree. No excuse for loss of communication like that.... none. Zip. Zero.
