    Hell, I had to have the radiator in my H2 replaced and they forgot to reattach the line to the oil cooler...

    It's to save your door and window. Hi lifts have a small base making them unstable. When you lift the truck, the jack can put the truck off balance causing it to come back down with the jack still under it. With the jack being so tall, the top of it can smash in your window or door. If your door is open, there is nothing to smash into and the jack will fall into the interior of the vehicle. May damage other things but better than replacing a window or door out on the trail.

    Didn't get this all done today but I finally got the new wheels put on, installed my CB antenna and added an LED light bar in the front.

    Swapped out my Bilstein 5100s for OME Nitrocharger Sport struts, along with new KYB mounts. It's just one more clunk and clank that I'm searching out and slowly getting rid of. Also one of them exploded when I was taking it apart. Whatever.

    Also yes I mounted the spring perch correctly before installation.

    Awesome man. Is the set up pretty straight forward. It’s my understanding they don’t come with instructions... also did you remove your seat cover fabric and put the heated pads under the seat cloth?

    And if so how difficult was that?
    Stoked to get these suckers in!

    I went into Running's to get a 24mm socket in hopes to change my diff oil this weekend, also got a 10 mm just because.

    It's a new store in town just opened Saturday.
    They took over an old Kmart space.
    I think they're popular in the Midwest but kind of new out here.
    They're almost right across the street from a Tractor Supply store.
    I think TS is going to have a hard go.
