    Yeah, I'm not sure. I think maybe I still have some air in my lines but I want this brake kit anyway. I feel uncomfortable driving my truck with the way it is braking. Hopefully after the new pads/rotors and a full flush, it will be better...

    Got the Rotopax self venting spout in today. Now I can pour gas without having to get a master's degree in rocket science beforehand.

    Install it yourself, isn't it just rotors and pads?

    I told my parents that me and some local members could install it and do another brake flush but they said they would rather a shop do it since they paid for the kit as an early birthday present.

    I am installing the suspension with a local member this Saturday, and am going to schedule an appointment with a shop to do an alignment and then the brake install/flush.

    Coilovers, UCA's, and rear shocks came in today.

    Unfortunately, after calling AP, they said my leafs have not even been shipped yet so they will arrive on Tuesday (4/15). This sucks because I had thought I would have everything by this Saturday to install, especially because I have an appointment for an alignment and brake install on Monday (4/14). Guess I will have to reschedule...

    I don't think I can put on my rear shocks with my current leaf pack though. (extended travel) I'm trying to put on everything at once anyway.

    Yeah, I haven't heard amazing things about their customer service and such, but I am chalking this up to the fact that they normally don't keep the Expo's in stock and that they are in the middle of a move.

    Oh well. Just means I have to wait an additional week to put the suspension on. I have been patient thus far and will continue to be...

    I have been getting better, I use to be a lot more impulsive with buying truck parts.

    Still not perfect though :rolleyes:

    Hey! :laughing:

    When I say that, I mean I would see a mod I wanted and would purchase it that day or the next... :eek:

    I have been researching these recent mods for about a year, making sure they are exactly what I want. Excited to finally see it coming together.
