    I agree, it was colder last weekend when I installed the ventilator on my truck.

    Pro tip:
    You can adjust the front height when the shocks are installed. If you plan on adjusting, break the bottom locknut loose on the bench before installing. Also spray some WD-40 on the threads and between the spring perch and adjusting nut, it'll make turning the nut easier.

    Get scheduled for an alignment

    Profit

    The teal color coils look nice.
    I went with red coils to match the red JBA uca. Kinda wishing I would've gotten new leafs. Running stock with the Headstrong 3 leaf pack.

    I didn't want to go the add a leaf route most lifts come with because most of the time the bed is lightly loaded. Even fully loaded with camping gear I have less than 600lbs in the bed.
    Looks like the Headstrong 3 leaf pack is a good compromise vs a standard add a leaf

    It took me under 3 hours to do mine on my 2017 last year. I live on a gravel road and had an older truck and I still really didn’t have any issues. No way that should take all day or more

    on a truck that’s a few years older with zero corrosion protection in its life, I would agree. Definitely would take longer.

    @Camerasandcoffee are you planning on changing out the needle bearing in the front diff with the ECGS bushing while the suspenion pulled apart for the upgrades?

    At the carwash. Not Fleet Farm but Kwik Trip. I know it's only 10° but I'm getting tired of looking at this dirty ass black beast.

    Your not drinking enough... I thought this was the Wisconsin page? I forgot... you guys upgrade every year or so...
    As I recall when I did my second gen (2015) two summers back it took about 3 or so hours a side. This was struts, UCA and AAL in back. LCA's took about the same each side plus a trip to the dealer... PIA!
