    I usually snug the lug nuts down pretty well, then when I lower the truck, that’s when I torque them-is that not the proper way?

    I’m not exactly sure. But for the suspension, I’ve always dropped it down to let it all settle then torque to spec.

    Sorry you did the blocks for nothing?
    Mine are tapered yes small end in front!
    Pretty visible just by eye.
    Still messing me up I keep thinking more block in front sets the angle?
    They must actually roll the whole rearend?
    Also the more I look it looks like the rear is different from side to to side on mine also.
    I’m also carrying weight for the winter?
    Glad someone mentioned the boots being able to move on the shocks body mine were looking funny until I pulled it down also.
    I had my frame replaced just before winter yea it sucks first thing it saw was salt.
    I did the 5100’s then later did my blocks the day before Xmas.
    Please post if the front spacer helps.

    Also a ? For the 3gen guys.
    A gent is his 80’s just purchased a 18 off road.
    At lunch he sits in it and listens to the radio.
    It’s a push button start but he says he can turn the radio on without doing anything but needs to start it to turn it off?
    Will touching the brakes or something turn the radio off?
