    Thanks for that, I'll have a look. Think a sway bar drop bracket will help?
    I daily this thing.

    Tore apart most of the front suspension, took the LCAs to get the bushings pressed out and new Whiteline ones put in. The shop said they were so rusted in there that they broke their press so it looks like I'll be without my truck for another day.

    Also, raising my 5100s to 2.5". I had them at 1.75 but want just a tad more height. I'll lift the rear 1" as soon as I can but I want to get the LCAs figured out and get an alignment done...

    Yes, a sway bar drop kit will provide more clearance and is an easy and inexpensive way to get rid of the squeak caused by coil contact. Mine sounded like a demonic rocking chair!

    Threw some conduit around my now-exposed CB & Rock light wiring. Then I fixed my front rock light that’s been held by a zip tie since I kissed some rocks out at Terminator. What a seriously tough Little Rock light. 10/10. The holes I drilled got bored out from the impact so I just threw some washers on there. Good to go.

    I received enough scholarships where I only need to pay about 9k a year for Baylor. My grandparents have saved money for me since I was born and it’s enough to cover my school. In my defense, I paid 11k cash for my current truck:rofl:

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Hauled 10 rolls of instant lawn (sod) for some patchwork at the rental house.

    I'll get very little in scholarships, but have my whole tuition covered by my dad. I'll live at my brother's house which is right next to the University. My dad also paid for my truck, and insurance so I don't have any debt to worry about and plan to keep it that way for a while lol.

    Consider yourself lucky. I just graduated and have 14k in debt now. Worked and went to school full time to pay for my rent/tuition since I live on my own. Don’t forget to thank your parents! Lol
