    @Unchained 5150 do you happen to know if these work with aftermarket spindle lifts because I have Maxtrac spindle? I would PM you but I feel like this info might help the group buy.

    90-minutes and it does run smoother and better. Maybe it’s the almost 200K on the stock LCA bushings or the bad balljoints, but man the truck feels great!

    BTW, those that have yet to install or those that don’t mind crawling back under. Remove the skid plate bolts and apply anti-seize to them before you put them back. I bet your future self will thank you.

    I would do what Jared said, but remember these are an OEM replacement so I'm sure they do. I'll contact them as well on this.

    Today is raining so I just brushed up on welding some 1/4” steel. Trying to prepare for Marlin Crawler braces and LCA install on Monday. I am obviously not a avid welder but I couldn’t bust the weld with a big ass hammer so it should hold 4F94909F-5DAA-4B77-94A2-0A8D2BEE0BB7.jpg CA3F3313-727E-4A9D-8FE3-6C0A52BBBBAD.jpg

    Marlin Crawler is running a 10% discount on the braces for Memorial Day if anyone is planning on ordering them.

    My buddy who welded my marlin braces in said even though they're a pain in the ass they look like they'll never break.

    I'd suggest welding the vertical pieces first on the top and then welding in the horizontal plates after. Just remember the braces are designed to fit flush against each other so depending where you weld they might not sit correct

    I plan on mocking it all up with magnets and cams to make sure it all sits correct.
