    @gkomo I paid $170. I jumped on it when DD was doing their 15% off sale and got free local shipping as well.

    Agreed. If I was towing on a regular basis I would be jumping on the MC & Booster swap, but with my occasional towing and light load hauling the slightly bigger brakes do help. Not to mention my original brakes had way too many miles on them.

    No thank you. I definitely prefer hot over cold temperatures.

    I switched to boats from cars because they have a lot more room to work on them, they're less technologically advanced/easier to comprehend, there's a lot less competition, and there's more money to be made on them.

    The Ram has so many switches that the owner forgot what they all do. I found a switch that didn't do anything so I used it to power up 1 pair of lights. I called the owner to ask him about that switch and he didn't remember. Whoops, now his grandkids can't hear their movies. I'm heading in this morning to fix that lol.

    I said screw it and just ordered them at full price and shipping. The shipping was a little outrageous IMO.

    yeah honestly that is what I thought too. At least the shoes should be replaced I was thinking. Found a good deal on some shoes in bad packaging. Will probably pick those up and try em our.

    Maybe they’re just not in your pics, but I’m not seeing any grease fittings on those u-joints.

    Thanks!
    I had to drill mine out because the over aggressive plastic welds. Easy process. I gave them four heavy layers of plastidip so I could reverse it.

    Here's a thorough tutorial on it by boogie:
