    You have to manually shift it in low range to get a smooth 1-2 shift. Put it in low, rev it up a bit, let off the gas and stick it in 2. Smooth as butter that way. I can't stand how rough it is when you let it shift itself, feels like it's gonna break something haha.

    Stars are always toward the front. The one pictured should go on the other side of the truck.

    My bet is that the seller made both sides the same way. Sounds like the driver side on @CruisD64 is probably facing the correct way but the passenger side had the sticky on the wrong side and there was no other way to install.

    I thought about going with the small flags like that but ended up with one big one on the hood.

    Thanks

    So you feel the drive to be smoother ? Or what specifically got better?

    Waaayyyy smoother. I thought I had blown out a recently replaced bearing with how loud and obvious the vibrations where but once we got it up on the lift we found the shot bushings. Steering is tighter and smoother with no vibrations!! Wish I would have done it long ago.
