    Ah heck yeah! I’m really happy with it so far. I had known about it for months and the ads really started hammering me a month ago and I finally succumbed. Very happy I did.

    Right on. I see me ordering more parts so I can put a setup in the work truck as well. Thanks for your post and bringing this back to the front of the forehead.

    I think so. Damn thing has so many names. Horizon LMT something lol. So many part choices out there. One guy wants 80$ just for a steering shock. Pretty sure I can get one for a real truck at that prices.

    @EatSleepTacos is etsy a good place to get parts or is it just as confusing as Amazon. I ordered the upgraded servo on Amazon. Was broken in 10 minutes. :anonymous: first one cracked a housing. This one cracked a tooth internally.

    Ordered another all metal one and a servo saver from teal. The factory servo is a really wierd 23t and pretty.much everything else I have found is 25t.

    Haven't had any issues with the Arma car yet.

    I have a good relationship with my local hobby store, but if I need something they don't have or don't happen to carry, www.amainhobbies.com is my go to!

    Question, you measure the “15.93 minimum distance between coil seats” which the coilover off of the truck correct? Not while it’s on the truck with weight on them? I have 16” 550lb coils on and want to crank up the preload a tad.

    You can do it on the truck too. You just need to know your shaft length on your shock, whether you find that online or measure it.

    So let’s say you have a 6” shaft and a 7” block height. With the front of the truck off the ground so the coilovers are fully extended, you just need a minimum of 6”+7”=13” between the coil seats.

    Awesome. Here’s what I got. 7.65” shaft (JD spec Fox shocks) + 7.6” block height (per accutune website) = 15.25” minimum between seat coils.

    Oh I didn’t realize you had LT coilovers. You’ve definitely got plenty of room for adjustment with 16” coils.

    This happened at my parents last night. It was pretty late and they had their front door open to allow the cool night air inside. Luckily, I installed a storm door years ago and it was locked at the time. One of these days they will play this stupid game, and someone will aid them in winning a stupid prize!

    You tell them Randall! You can teach them how to be a smooth criminal like you were in your prior life. No one stole candy from the unattended snack bar better than you.

    No kidding. When the police finally came this morning, they said they had several other similar calls in the area last night.
