    I’ll give you a hand if you ever change your mind on it. Just the roof was a world of difference. Mostly eliminated the hollow tin-can sound that thin metal makes. Wasn’t particularly expensive either, though I went a budget route. The roof by itself would probably be a couple hours start to finish, not too bad.

    I may take you up on that. I’ve got a sunroof, so maybe that’ll cut down on the material costs and install time :rofl:

    It seems to me that most clunks after a suspension lift install is the cam bolts on the lower control arm. Either they weren't torqued to spec or the alignment tech thinks he is better than a torque wrench.

    Check to make sure those are to spec. That's where I would start. Also just make sure all the other bolts are tight while you are in there.

    To date, I've installed sound deadening mat on my doors and the back wall. It made a difference, but wasn't mind blowing. I still hear more road noise than I would like. If I decide to go further, I've heard the floor board closest to the firewall makes a big difference there. So I'd kind of like to do up there and the roof.

    Accutune confirmed that internally, Kings will have metal on metal contact under full extension. I believe that’s what it is. Just don’t know if it’s bad for it or not. Going to measure my shock length and see if it’s sitting under 21” per their recommendation

    Yeah I'd check and make sure.

    I had an OME that the internal stopper was a little shorter than the other or something and it sheared it off the shaft and gave a little more travel. :rofl:

    And that's why limiting straps can be a good investment in certain situations.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!

    We need to get a local grill/chill out going?
    I am down to have people over at my place. I am down here where i75/85 & i20 connect. Not far from the zoo.

    I got room for many trucks, coolers and bs. If you need to crash at my place that’s cool, pitch your RTT in my backyard lol

    I missed your party Josh bummed about that, I know many of y’all live up north. So I will travel if that makes more sense.
