    Those of you with lifts, what are you measuring in the front? The rear of my truck is definitely lifted but I've not been so sure about the fronts. Measuring 22 to the center of the wheel with 6112s/650 coils on 4/5 doesn't sound right

    UGH of course at the holidays my clothes dryer acts up. Makes a periodic noise, loud and sounds like rattling. The inside spins freely by hand either direction though, I have zero idea how to work on them. Thing has to be 30 years olds though..

    I was 22 / 22.5 on my 2013 with 5100s on 0.85 and an Eibach 112-620 spring with an ARB bumper. I was 20” stock.

    I will measure my 2016 this evening and report back.

    My 3G measures 22” hub to fender on both sides with the 2G TRD Pro suspension (which I venture to guess is a non-adjustable 6112 with TRD specific coils. My before measurements were hub to ground so tire size would impact the results. Most members reported just about 2” with my setup.

    You must have gotten lucky, my 2013 needed the bushing. I did my 2016 preemptively.

    Definitely lucky, been a couple months now with tons of highway miles and still nothing though I did develop a driveline vibe a couple weeks in. Carrier bearing drop cured that though

    Good deal!

    My truck is a little vibey with the KO2s but that’s likely to be expected. With the P-rated Nokians I use in the winter it rides like stock. I have a few unexplained clunks that I’ve given up chasing. They showed up too early in the truck’s life to be bushings / mounts, but I have to believe they likely are bushings / mounts. I just haven’t had a chance to get in there and look.

    Yeah I'm thinking what's left of my vibes stuff are tire related since I went from p rated falkens to e load ones, and up to 33 at that. It's not enough of a bother to chase at this point lol

    Did it snow in parts of Mass? Most cars are clean, but every so often I pass a car that looks like it's fresh out of a snow storm.

    No idea... spent the last few days traveling, and recovering.
    Kinda cool out since we got in... low 60s today.

    Trip is changing how we look at traveling in the future...
    Kinda strange looking forward, only traveling with 1 of 3 kids...

    No argument with the last piece, just curious if it's some free fix maybe an adjustment I can do for the moment

    Big sticker guy Lots of wasted money

    We use divers to do large diameter Waste water syphons crossing rivers and highways here, met a guy who works 6 months a year in Abu Dhabi certifying the piers its built on while on a job in Hartford! I've crawled many pipes 24"-100", it is nerve racking and tight but fun, hell I've even been 50-100' below NYC both in the subways and sewers! 24-36" though has always made my breath a little quicker and my heart pound we used to call those earn your money days and boy did we!

    HAHAHA I never imagined myself occasionally crawling sewer pipes but there's a certain joy in filling the gaps
    others wouldn't, plus I could never do the 40 hour office thing I like dangerous shit too much! This isn’t me I just took the video of one of my coworkers from a job we did 6-8 years ago, 15 nights in the dead of winter 55 degrees down there vs 10 degrees up top.

    I will happily climb up a 20 ft ladder and wire/screw in a light fixture or camera but there's something about not being able to fully articulate my limbs...
