    Bilstein 5100's w/ Eibach coil overs in front (set at 3" of lift). Front diff drop kit. Extended Bilstein 5100's in the rear. Deaver 2" AAL in rear w/ axle shims. 285 x 75 r 16 Goodyear Duratracks. Wheelers steelies type B, AFE cold air intake. Sway bar delete. All Pro Apex front bumper (rattle canned Rustoleum primer + flat black). Plasti-dipped emblems. Mud flaps removed.
    Gotcha. I was just wondering because I am running 3" of lift up front and my truck tracks pretty crappy. Was thinking it was due to UCA's not allowing me to get back to spec alignment.

    Haha but seriously. It never ends. Hobbies are pricey. Well, truck parts are pricey. It really is a sickness. I'd say I have another 15k to get to where I want. I could really just go out and buy a complete crawler for that much.......

    Hey, back on post 109, how much did you have to tweak to get those switches to go in?

    I'm about to throw mine in!

    It was pretty easy. You can push the bundle through the firewall where all the other wire feed from and it should pop through somewhere above the brake if I remember correctly. Then just pull out the little change compartment below and feed the bundles Into each spot

    I meant the switch itself! ;)

    Looks like I'm gonna have to bust out the dremel. I was under the impression those switches were just a plug and play as far as inserting into the dash.

    Yeah. Just some trimming. I think u used a razor blade and cut till they fit snug. If you over cut you can always use black electrical tape to wrap the switch edge to snug it up

    Any updates?

    It was pretty tough. I fished for 7 hrs catching around 20 fish. Average 3 per hour but that is pretty slow. I couldn't get any size either. Biggest was just over 2lb

    Are you local? What league do you fish? I used to do anglers choice and for the past 3 years I did BBT. I havent done any this year though. Where are you fishing?

    Eh, I'm not local to you, I'm up in WA state. A local shop up here has been hosting a BBT series and have one coming up. This one is arguably the best fishery in our state. It's probably gonna take a 8-9lb to take the cake.
