    Thank you guys for all the info, y’all are awesome. Today I get my packages and then the waiting game until I go on vacation in March to install. What paint is everyone using to paint the spindles?

    I cleaned them up and dried em well. Then used 3-4 coats of Rustoleum 2 in 1 paint/primer. Held up pretty well over the years.

    After cluttering 3 different threads, I got a solution!
    Feeling pretty stupid.
    So apparently when I took off the spindles and tie rods, the wheel got out of alignment. Then during reassembly, we clocked the wheel one full rotation out from zero. So computer was reading it wrong the whole time. They had to reset my wheel back. Problem resolved.

    Cant believe I didnt realize it sooner, but I never have to turn the wheel enough driving to work to realize I was limited on my turning abilities lol.:rofl::facepalm:

    @RexsTaco I had the same problem too. But I knew before I did the upgrade and spent the weekend before modifying my garage.

    Some shots after I got the alignment done after work... thank God for Mexican shops that work on Sunday. FYI don't drive your truck without an alignment and all that stuff.. it's scary AF.. also had some face casualties

    Thanks brotha, the numbers say 7 in front and 6.5 in the rear. But in reality it’s probably settled to 6.5 in front and 6 in the rear

    Pic from Superstition a few weeks ago. Front is looking great! :militarypress:

    But....the AllPro leafs have settled over a few years & now my rear tires are trying to rip the bedsides off. Could install an AAL but that would require new shocks. So instead of dipping my toe I'm just going head first down the rabbit hole:
    -sell the +2.5" Icon remote resi
    -new BAMF leaf hangers & shackles (5/8" lift, + ~4" droop)
    -new 4* axle shims (~3/8" lift)
    -new BAMF shock towers
    -new King 2.5x14" smooth body remote resi
