    That's interesting, thanks for the suggestion. Currently, plan is to knock them out locally next Saturday using one of these, so I'll wait on the ratchet strap idea. :thumbsup:

    If you have plans to go to Yosemite, the park posted the “we’re closed” sign on their webpage. Closure is through at least Wednesday and due to the snowfall.

    LMK if you need the bumpstop extensions. I didn’t end up using the toytec ones I have since I went with Durobumps.

    Got the rears done yesterday before work! sheez took me 4 hours and had to use spring clamps for the install. Browsing for UCA’s. I didn’t realize how $$$$ they are. Everyone is telling me to get SPC for adjustability.

    JBA is simple, easy, “cheap”

    never had the need for the extra adjustability of the SPC let alone finding a tech who’s worth a damn who knows how to adjust them

    Other aftermarket UCAs like icon or TC have built in castor, not adjustable but my icons have always done me right.

    Auto Innovations in Milpitas. Orlando, knows how to dial in the alignment with SPC or without. Highly recommend that shop. :thumbsup:

    Way too far from Sac though.
