    All go well? No issues? Lower ball joints replaced? No other issues? How's it handle with the new UCA's?

    Skipped the ball joints. Kings and UCA's no problem. Almost took Scotty and Allen as long to replace headlight bulbs as it did to do the UCA's. Extended brake lines for Scotty and me. Started with mine and had a hell of a time. The 10mm on the hard lines wanted to round off. Had to bleed the lines twice. Scotty's went like butter.

    Alright photos from the Mod Day yesterday, and small descriptions on them for anyone who cares.
    @TheTacoma got his new Icon UCAs on.
    Attach0 (2).jpg

    @TacoAlaMode and @TheTacoma working on Brian's extended brake lines. @rmepilot not pictured, we had just returned from flushing brake fluid out of my eye. (That burns like a MF'er btw)
    Attach0 (12).jpg
    Brian's truck and shop:
    Attach0 (11).jpg
    Attach0 (10).jpg
    Some finished brake line work on my truck:
    Attach0 (5).jpg
    Attach0 (6).jpg
    Attach0 (7).jpg

    And of course the big job, the beautiful King's:
    Attach0 (13).jpg
    Attach0 (14).jpg
    and we discovered my driver side CV is throwing grease so I'm going to have to fix that very soon...but going to Colorado tomorrow so can't worry about it right now...here's some photos to show the angles my CVs are sitting at.
    Attach0 (3).jpg
    Attach0 (2).jpg

    All in all very successful Mod Day in my opinion. Great to meet Rob and see his truck! of course @justinalldredge19 was there to provide lots of moral support...ok and he gave me a hand on my King's, and @BAMATOY there to save me with putting my headlights in because one just had to go out on our way back from lunch.

    Like @TacoAlaMode said we decided to skip the lower BJs for now. I think the reason they looked so bad in the original picture was because some was squeezed out when installing the lift. Decided to wait and see until they make a noise or I can tell that they are bad. I would have never noticed it in the first place if i didn't just happen to look under there. Oh and @stronghammer s truck looked about the same way so it made me feel a lot better:boink::D

    LOVE the ucas!!!:bananadance: @justinalldredge19 It did get rid of the "slam down" on my OME lift, super stoked about that!!

    Guys, thanks for the lift opinions on Saturday, it was very educational. I'm leaning toward this kit and curious of your thoughts: [​IMG]

    @rmepilot idk what you're looking art price range but the Kings Group Buy has been extended because the company, Boss 4x4 has apparently done a lot better on their pricing and have quite a few people talking to them just not in the thread. You may be able to get a good setup for less than 2k, and if you got without the reservoirs like I've got you can prob get under 1500...just thinking to myself knowing what I payed and got quoted.
