    It's stuff like this that makes this forum so valuable to owners...

    Like really, would I have figured this out on my own if I did a suspension swap .. or would I drive on blown bearings until I got so annoyed that i traded in the truck.

    Love this place

    Yeah.
    Awesome, thank you. No way would I have figured this one out on my own. I just ordered the bolts from 303. I don't seem to have an issue yet, but glad I ran across this.

    I'm thinking the same...replace the OEM bolt for the bushing to have a chance at normal wear and tear.

    Yeah.
    Well, I have Fox coilovers with the spherical bearing. Probably not an issue with the normal sleeve and rubber bushing, but those misalignment spacers being 2 pieces seems to be the issue with that flanged OEM bolt.

    Here's something else I've learned about noise coming from the front section.

    Thanks Eric! @19cement4xor

    Always looking to modify! Check out my Instagram @TacoPandaTRD
    Nope. The rear are different size. But they don’t need to be replaced as they are not shanked. They are smooth all the way across. I have 60k on my Elka rear spherical bearings with no issue

    Had the OTT Tune done last weekend (lite/mild). Had a very enjoyable time driving the roads with the new found characteristics, driving from Anaheim to Zion and Bryce.

    This and that
    This looks like someone folded a mattress, perfectly, to fit in that cab.

    Should be getting my VTAILS soon, and that means I am probably gonna install the back up(EDIT: Tag lights not back up) LEDs from the interior kit to match, but looks like they cause a glare, what are y'all using for glare blockers?? I have a SRD so not looking for TRD stuff, would look out of place, just basic..

    Looks like sphinxbccp is still in the moving and setting up phase after 5 months, so no time frame from him selling again that I can find....nothing wrong with that btw, just saying life happens...

    EDIT: Tag lights, not back up.. major brain fart moment...:crazy:
