    put the extended travel 2.5 kings w/ 700# springs (getting the full headlight hoop steel bumper on next week)
    i have full belly coverage armor right now and sliders. i set the adjustor knob to the softest setting and personally i like the way it feels already. the 700# spring really makes any adjustment of height super tough looking and it doesnt feel that firm (in my opinion)
    also if your planning on installing these bad boys yourself id highly recommend taking them to a local shop you trust to have them adjust the height for you with a legit spring compressor..(i know there are different methods im specifically mentioning this to people who dont own a spring compressor or have never used one)
    i have adjusted the height by renting a compressor and taking it the shop..shops way safer its quick and depending on your history with the shop they wont charge you a single dime because its a 2 minute job but anyways have a look (got 6 ton stands if ya cant see em!)

    also changed out the uniball and bushings on my tc uca!
    ive never done anything like this before..took a good part of my day but i took my time had fun and everything worked out great

    I re-engineered my OBA system this weekend. Instead of running the air tube down alongside of the transmission leaving it perilously close the hot exhaust, I instead ran it through the cab and out through a grommet in the "rear firewall". And, I added a couple of connectors (one on each side) for easy access when I need to air up my tires after a trail run.

    That's legit ingenious. :bowdown:

    Also, I remember now why I stopped coming into this thread... I spend money almost every single time.

    Just purchased the expandable base oversized bottle/cup holder because I've already had my hydroflask tip over and leak all over my passenger seat when I wasn't paying attention. :anonymous:

    Don’t look at it as spending money but as adding a safety feature. Now your drink will sit upright and not spill so you will not be distracted while driving and you will not be in or cause an accident!:thumbsup:

    I could be wrong but that’s not the original SCS color for that wheel. I like the contrast. I did something similar to my FN six shooters.
