    These bad boys came in yesterday. These are the newest style SPC LR UCA's. Seems like a quality unit especially for the price. 80* of articulation!

    I've read on these rigs you want as much caster as possible so should I start with the caster washer set at the max, which is +2* on the washer which will provide +4* caster (in theory but probably won't in actuality)?

    I found this hose not connected on one end. Passenger side firewall. Is this just a drain line for the AC?

    Last set of goodies came in. Extended rear brake lines, center carrier bearing drop, leaf bushings and u bolts.
    I love bacon. I also love jerky. When I opened this box and saw they sent me not only jerky but bacon jerky, it made me realize I might be in love with @HeadStrong Off-Road !!!!!

    Put the lift on yesterday, finally. Waited for 6 days to get a helpful response email from Fox, that finally came today. I took a bunch of measurements for future reference.
    With the extended travel shocks, they come @ their max height, which measures 1.925" from the inside of the collar to the inside of the tophat. They couldn't give me any other answers on measurements what-so-ever. 7 emails & I finally got this tidbit of info.
    Since they hadn't answered me on how high 27 threads/2" of threads I had to rely on other threads. I ended up adjusting them down & now I'm @ 1.8" DS & 1.6" PS (these are thread measurements, NOT actual lift measurements). I'm going to let it settle a bit & then check measurements again & go from there. Right now my drive axle boots are as tweaked as I'm willing to run them. New tires will be going on tomorrow. Anyways, here's the pics!

    I forgot to add, I have a mild vibration from take-off to about 15mph then it tapers off as I speed up. Going to give the rear springs a couple hundred miles to settle in. I added the center carrier drop but might have to add 3* shims.
    One weird thing I've noticed is when I come to a complete stop, either abruptly or ever so gently, the truck rocks back & forth. It's not rolling, just rocking forward & backward, so much that my keys tap the wheel & dash slightly as they sway forward & backward. It's like hauling a huge container of water that doesn't have baffles so it sloshes forward/backward when you stop. Weird.
