    I mean like annoyingly slow. Like 4L just for the gearing and second gear kind of slow. Like by the time I got to the top of flagpole, everyone else was up top, camp set up, some of them already cooking. :rofl:

    Lol. It's going to be weird actually having suspension travel in the front. I'm probably going to go slow and hit everything I can just to appreciate it.

    You know those could have already been installed by now. Think I averaged 11 mins per side? Correct me if I'm wrong @Casper66 @Coot83 @Lots2Learn58

    Sounds like my last trip. Don't think I ever came out of 4lo until we hit the opening for the camp spot, then it was straight 2wd

    Done it a time or 20. Think I've swapped my own about 12 times alone, not to mention all the others I've done as well.

    You ever done front bumps? I'm thinking about upgrading to timbren since I keep hitting the top of my wheel wells when I get close to bottoming out.

    Yep easy. All you need is a floor jack, allen wrench and a set of channel locks. I would advise against timbrens though. They are a bit harsh for my liking.

    That's what I'm running in the rear and I completely understand what you mean. I am not impressed with them, but I got a good deal for them with ubolt flip

    I can understand that. I went Superbumps front and rear. Even opted to get the fronts for the rears bc they are a bit softer. But I guess I'm just getting soft myself in my old age.

    I know... I know. I just woke up from a nap because I stayed up way too late last night, and I'm still thinking about it. @TacoCat (awesome dude, btw, and thanks again if you see this) hooked me up with a ECGS bushing and tool too, so I'm debating doing that while I'm in there.

    I don't have a socket for the axle nut though (been meaning to buy one), so the only way I'm doing that is trying to wrestle the whole spindle and axle out of there. Which is also doable.

    Then I'm going to be all OCD about it and have to mess with adjustments for an hour to get the height just right. Lol.

    And of course I'm still debating on whether or not to keep the swaybar.

    I just can't bring myself to run my truck as hard as some guys. Not hating on them at all if it's their thing, but I enjoy a nice, slow, relaxing cruise down a trail.

    I mean... It's all y'all's fault. Hit up @TacoCat cause he's selling @Coot83 's old Kings... Yeah, well, here we are. Awesome. :rofl:

    I wasn't aware you had even contacted Tacocat I'm not used to anyone ever listening to my suggestions. I'm sure it was a good deal hell I wish I could have done it myself. Congrats! I'm sure you'll be happy @TacoFMS loves his and he gives a good assesment of pretty much everything. If I didn't trust his opinion I wouldn't listen to him. There's nothing wrong with going slow

    The second side was faster for sure.

    Yeah man. I did. I listened after you and I think it was the other Chris (Coot) said to hit him up because he's selling a set for a decent deal. Well, yeah, he was. The only thing that's not excited and happy right now is my bank account. But I won't be hating life by the end of a day trail riding though. :D

    And yes, I can tell Justin would be the kind of guy to tell you if they were shit. I get along with those kinds of people. Honest and up front. :thumbsup:

    I'd like to find a good way to raise mine up in the front some. IDK if I lost a little height due to added weight , ssliders, skids, and bumper or not but it needs to be bumped up a little maybe an inch or so. Perhaps new coils or just different ones it has 620# coils on it now
