    Finally did the Uni filter mod, and put my icons back in after a nice little rebuild.

    When I first installed this kit I was more worried about a level ride, and never had an issue with ride quality. I’ll prob play with adjustments and see how it feels. What do you suggest? How many threads showing?

    Personally I would do as little preload as possible. You can always level out the back by removing/adding a leaf.

    Those ss3 high beams will be awesome! Paired with hid high beams.... another cool thing would be SS3 sae lights paired with the low beam of the d2s... that would be sweet but hard to aim

    If I remember correctly, Icon recommends no more than 2” of threads showing. When I had Icon’s, I had it set at 1.75” of threads. I did notice an ever so slight difference in ride from the preset height but it wasn’t a bother to me at all

    *unrelated* bought a keltec sub2000 today, so that should be fun
    *related* changed my transmission fluid with redline mt90. The old stuff was seriously black, I don't think its ever been changed, now I have super smooth shifts! No pictures of either because in WA it's a mandatory 10 day hold for semi auto rifles and who wants to see pictures of transmission fluid

    Sucks that regular cabs have a different shape to the back of the cab.

    Installed the headlights today, shroud has switchback leds that turn orange with the turn signal. Can't wait to see how they look during the day as I finished the install at night.

    Shoot I wouldnt even replace the plug or the gasket as long as they are not damaged. Maybe just the gasket but deffinitely not the plug.
