    Applied two coats of Raptor bed liner to the shell this morning. Used wax/degreaser then adhesive promotor before applying the first coat. Masking seemed to take forever - but was worth it in the end. Great product - sprayed very nicely with the provided air gun at 47-50psi. First coat was covered well - second coat was more to blend and get the tone more of a matte finish.

    I’ll update this post Monday when she’s back on the truck.

    I recommend tightening them every couple months like it says on their website because the bolts will fall out which has happened to me twice and I had to get replacements which weren't cheap. They weren't like expensive but more than you should pay for it.

    Thanks for the heads up, I will make sure to check them regularly. I did start out putting red loctite on them, so I’m interested to see if I have the same issue.

    its more so the rear ones that have issues. I feel like some of the bolts weren't long enough so I ended up replacing them with longer ones and haven't had issues with those but I have noticed they still loosen up a bit. Also I should mention I have to drive down a wash boarded road every day so that doesn't help anything.

    Did a thing, still not done and no more spider's.

    All new lower control arm adjusters, CV axles, wheel bearings, and upper control arms all done. Need to install the brakes, and torque everything.

    I wonder at what point double shear gusset the coil bucket becomes necessary
    looks like that's about the only thing it's missing

    what kind of bumpstop spacer is that and why'd you get it?

    is that mid travel?
    looks like it might be 1/4 spacer

    probably helps prevent big tire from hitting the tub
    supposedly measurement = doubling effect, aka 1/4 spacer = 1/2" reduction
    have you noticed any issues at end of compression such as on or off road driving?
