    There seems to be a lot of that happening. I've recently read about others who are having this. Mine started seeping too, on one side only. The clamps look good. If its caused by lifting, it takes a while to show up. I wonder if the cold has an impact.

    Good ol rattlecan. Rustolium auto primer and satin black for the top coat.
    Armor get's scratched and beat to hell. It's nice to do touchups in a few seconds.

    The steering is a bit tighter but a good kind of tight. I only installed them because after putting the Eibach coils and new lower ball joints in, I was sure I would need an alignment so I decided to install everything at once then get an alignment. Worked out well :D

    Its easy dude, If you can install a lift you can do them in about 30 minutes. Make sure you have a big pair of channel locks though.

    I expected it to be a pain in the ass but it wasn't that bad. Just took some finagling to get the old ones out and the new ones in, not a big deal really. If I had done it before, the job would have been done quicker.

    Today I did more work on the truck, welded plates on top of the front bumper to kind of finish off the look I wanted. Welded some light tabs on while I was at it, pics tomorrow.

    Replaced my power steering pump (102k miles) and all 3 belts. PS Pump from O'reilly's was 114.00+ 45 for belts total cost about 160.00. Had I bought the pump from a Dealer it would have been 440.00 to have the dealer do the whole job it would have been 730.00. I often thank my Dad for teaching me to use tools and not be afraid to try...
