    When the time comes it's either gonna be TC 2"+ or Built Right 2"+ if they go through with making the kit

    Just under 30k miles, thanks!

    I did them in the winter. Then my rack started getting play and it wore the inners out. So i got a used rack and assumed the ones that came with it would be alright. After some miles i realized they wore done too. So i got all new inners and outers. First set were beck arnleys. Didnt like them. These new ones are moog and they seem a bit more beefier. Well see how they last.

    The inners seem to go quicker than the outers because because theres more lateral stress

    After a few weeks, I finally removed the side steps that came on the truck. I think it's better looking.

    Ya I did have to recalibrate the needles but wasn't hard since I have an ultra gauge, I had to take pics of fuel meter and oil temp so I had something to refer back to but I got up to 30mph on ultra gauge set the cruise and adjusted as needed
