    Thought it was something I could possibly do in my drive way lol. I'll have to check around and see if any shops around me do it. If not over the counter stuff will have to do for the time being.

    Or you could just unplug the two plugs under the driver's seat, one plug for the seat belt chime and the other plug for the weight sensor. The truck will think someone is always sitting in the driver's seat with the seat belt on. As long as the truck doesn't drive itself the air bag and all other features will function normally. But it will suck if the truck drives itself and gets into a crash because you'll need to replace the air bags that went off with no people in it...

    Whenever you have a chance, do you think you could snap a picture of the rear of the front fenders? I’m thinking I’ll have to trim the bushwackers to fit without rubbing, my setup is pretty wide. Had to trim quite a bit off the fender flare and even a bit of metal.

    Looks great man. Your set up is very similar to mine. I have a set of the same clamps waiting to get installed- waiting the for it get a bit warmer. How was the install? Did you have to trim your battery leads? Thanks!!

    I chose to clip off the negative, add the pressure fitting and replace the body strap, yep. The positive I just bolted in place. You don't HAVE to clip the negative, they include a spacer for the top of the clamp so you can just put the original on it like a battery post.

    There is a way to do it in your drive way with over counter stuff.....I watched videos.......for less than 1 hour Labor plus the chemicals, I thought it was worth the price, plus no mess, no trouble shooting.....

    Switched out my OME 884's for 885's today. The truck sits perfect now, and I still have about 3/4" - 1" rake which I like. I also noticed the 885's appear to handle nose-dive better than the 884's did. Maybe it's a placebo effect. I had the oil changed and the transmission drain and filled today as well. I'm planning on clay-barring the truck tomorrow and was going to wait to take a picture until then but here's one anyhow. I'm going to try to get it aligned next week to correct some camber and caster, but overall the handling is still good.

    Finished up the platform today. I added L track, secured with 10-24 hardware and fender washers. Created some brackets that tie into the seat bolts and bolt to the platform with 3/8” stainless steel hardware. Overall I’m incredibly happy with how it came out. It’s rock solid.

    Cool, thanks the the reply! I've been circling around this mod for a while...for some reason messing with the battery leads scares me a bit.
