    That's kind of what we did. We just cleaned the stuff no one ever cleans, including @Nicklovin's old dealer :facepalm:

    Lol, that ghost does a great job at preventing catching the truck on fire, melting wire, or messing up windows. He's a friendly ghost

    Alright some quick post lift updates. I was not able to turn the spring around because I don't have a spring compressor so the UCA still hits the coil at full droop. I will have to get new UCA's at one point but until then no full flex for me. It is a major adjustment for me the old components were so bad and I am running no sway bar I had almost no sway. With the new suspension it rides smoother but a lot more sway (old springs ~718 lbs to ~590) the rear is nice and not stiff with the AAL. I do want to try and run a trail with it though. I got it aligned the day after I put it in but haven't had time to get the tires balanced and rotated. I have noticed some vibrations mostly when coasting or on the brakes (hope the balance fixes that). I have noticed that the truck likes to wander around a lot now, is this from something I forgot to do, a softer suspension allowing it to move around more, should I throw the sway bar back in, something going bad in the front end like ball joints or tie rod ends, or am I just crazy?

    Good news, truck works perfectly :thumbsup:. Kyle @kyle11863 actually did a pretty damn good job. Last night the idle was a little high & the abs light was flashing. Drove it around for about an hour today, idle has dropped back to it's normal, abs light has stopped flashing and it still works & everything sounds & performs just purrrfect :D. Appreciate the labor again Kyle:hattip:
    He's actually pretty damn good :thumbsup:


    Now to wait & see how my mpg improves :D
