    Oh man, do they ever. Had to have it fixed though. Was working about 100km from the nearest paved road haha. Cost of doing business I suppose, but it still sucked.

    Probably would have survived the rest of the season if I hadn't of noticed it haha.

    Like Jordan said, you'd probably need UCA's to get a proper alignment! They're pretty stiff! I have 885's and it's a rougher ride. But it's a truck!

    Yeah i imagine they would have! You more or less just have to make sure they're not going to poke anything. I've heard of leafs puncturing gas tanks and shit. I put a pipe clamp around the broken one and the leaf above it so it wouldn't fall out and hurt anything.

    I could be wrong, but 886 are for if you have an after market bumper or are looking for a higher front lift. If so you will definitely need the UCAs

    Double cab or bumper you're right!
    Yeah i have LR UCA's.

    I'm not overly impressed with the welds, they look like they were done too cold, but they haven't broken yet! Haha

    I think I saw earlier that Banff may get up to 50cm. Calgary only needs 1cm for the downtown core to lose its mind.

    Its terrible! These people need to know what an actual snow storm is. 1" of snow and radio is telling people to stay off the road because its deadly.
