    So this is my first 4x4 and first lift and I'm no master mechanic. Can you explain to me what makes this "horrific". What kind of issues/long term effects might this cause? My alignment guy was going to look into SPC's install and alignment info that they linked on the sheet that came with the UCA's. As I said, the truck seems to drive nice. Thanks for the feed back.

    Geez, your rear looks way higher than mine. That's just dakars, nothing else? Maybe it's just the picture exaggerating it.

    Video of my front suspension. 882's Nitrochargers. Sorry for the sound. Just raw footage. The rattle is the GoPro housing rattling on my bumper.

    Video of my rear suspension. Dakars with extra leaf, relocated Nitrochargers, All Pro shackles, TG ubolt flip. Shackle bushings are crazy noisy! Winter has been hard on them, time for some grease.

    Lemme guess, when your sitting on the rear bumps the shocks are almost at max, i.e. you're getting as much travel out of them as you can :)

    No bump stops mounted above the axle? Watched on my phone, couldn't see. I was complimenting what looked like perfectly mounted shocks.

    Gotcha. Shocks seem to be just right. No bumps above the axle. Springs are limited by progressive overloads.

    Fellas,

    Getting ready to do a U-Bolt flip as soon as my Dakars come in. What am I shooting for on the desired torque for the U-Bolts?
