Mines in the interior fuse panel to the left of my steering column. Yours should be inside too since they are also what makes the clicking noise when the signals are active

 

Awesome! Thanks man!

Oh yeah... I knew that...

 

No problem, it didn't get mailed until later in the week. I didn't get to take a lunch break and walk to the post office early in the week and I had other stuff to ship also. Everyone expecting stuff from me should receive it within the next day or 2 at the latest.

 

Is it a benefit if it's causing problems?

 

Cough....
RTFM?

 

Let me know how bright the dome is. the stock one is a joke.

im running the OME 881s. I had them on my old 4cyl reg cab before my new taco without any armor they were awesome.


For what its worth,
They have a 500# spring rate and are 375mm in length. the OME springs are a bit more expensive than the Eibachs with the same Specs. I had planned on actually switching to a 450# spring that was a bit longer when I rebuilt the Sway-a-Way coilovers I have in the basement.


I wanted to see if I could get more flex out of the front end. However the SAWs I have are beyond repair (due to cost) and I have decided that I like how the front end handles and that money is better spent elsewhere for me.

 

Mine came with my OME kit. U-bolts are stretch to yield so they shouldnt be re-used right? Thats why i am thinking i need new ones. I should do the flip kit but i dont want to get in to that now, cuz then i will want new bumps and everything.

 

Yea just like grade 8 bolts they stretch so they cannot be accurately re-torqued. However there are tons of people who reuse them.

 

I'd vote no...

 

Good to know. I'll likely switch to 881s soon. The ride isn't bad, but CV angles are just dumb. My CVs started sitting grease like 3 weeks after I put the 5100/eibachs on. Not ripped, just pulling of of the inner clamp location on the shaft


I'll let you know how the dome turns out. Honestly, it was $7 do even if its a little better it'll be worth it. The super bright led ones look nice, they gave capacitors\ resistors already attached so you don't have to mess with that crap, or worry about them flickering our not coming on at all

 

I have the toytec flip and run my stock bumps . I just welded them to the plate . Haven't had any issues .
You can have those ubolts I posted . I'll never use them .

 

But.... Moar clearance!

Cough cough lolno

See above ^^^^^^

 

Right now there very little down travel, the ball joints are basically maxed out, CV angles are really steep which didn't lend itself to durability, especially when in low gear. Plus the alignment isn't great since the geometry is at or past practical limits. I'm not complaining, I paid next to nothing for a basically brand new lift. But the eibachs and bilsteins are a little bit overkill for my truck.

 

At sullivan now getting an alignment

Sullivan did a good job.

 

Camber is .8 and .9 caster is 2. and 2.3 toe is .07

 

Not bad

 

Might end up pulling the 42" bar until I get a roof rack. The wind noise is obnoxious and I bet I'll get better mileage without it
