    My wife and I bled the brakes probably 7 or 8 times. But I think the biggest factor was getting a good adjustment on the rear shoes. The system got most of the air out but still felt spongy so I adjusted my shoes until the adjuster met resistance (rear wheels barely turn cause of the friction) then backed them off a little. We bled with the key off and also with it turned on not running, Im not sure that mattered.

    What suspension are you running on the truck? Stiffer aftermarket suspension will do that.

    Little late with this one but got the LCA pivot kit burned in and slapped my warfab sleeves on last weekend. It’s coming together slowly.

    Rough country 3" n3 struts and an add a leaf with n3 shocks on rear. Its decent, definitely stiff. It'll do until it won't. Once I get UCAs (thinking JBA hd) I'm gonna shift to the rear with shackle flip and U bolt flip. Coming together slowly but I'm having a blast!

    Yeah but you'll be a lot closer to Moab. Just kidding, I know that's a big relocation.

    Got my $100 remote start installed at Best Buy. Just in time for the cold months. Bummed that pre-2010 can't start with the 3x lock on the factory fob. All good. Goodbye frosty windshield.
