    Are you running true 8" shocks? Are they the same brand between CO and bypass?

    What is it that you think you are gaining or losing with that 1" difference?

    Allowing droop that far with stock CVs may be a bad choice. Just because your arms allow it doesn't mean your axles will tolerate it.

    Also check your top plate and rod ends, if either are different from your friends kit that might explain things.

    I have an abs light gremlin after my install. Every few hundred miles it'll kick on. I don't know how often the system runs checks on itself.

    Probably a loose wheel speed sensor connector. Reseat them and clear the codes.

    There are four of them, and one in the transfer case if you have a manual trans.
