    Were you taking the cover guards on and off your PIAA 510's in the fog light holes? I am working on mounting mine and there is pretty big gap on the left and right side of the lights without the guards on. I am just wondering if this is normal and just live with it? I don't see a gap in your pictures like I have on mine.

    I never took the covers off. in addition I used a small strip of 3M on top and bottom to help stabilize things.

    front springs are trashed. Having so much pre load on the springs to get proper lift with all the weight of the bumper, winch and skids has taken its toll on them. MY front sits about an inch lower now after the suspension workout in Moab. Need new heavier springs stat.

    Looking into some 886's but I bet that means re-valving also due to the heavier spring rate. I'm weighing all the options to see what would be best.

    Camping was great, perfect temp for camping and playing with fire.

    Klondike Trail area. It was great there, not a ton of people and there were no signs that said camping was prohibited.

    Derp?

    I'm thinking of getting OME 886 springs to put on my coilovers but I have a terrible suspicion that with 886's on them the valving would be horrible with the extra spring rate. Any thoughts on this?
