    Yeah that never ends well for me, i really need to practice patience while wrenching. It has been idling very rough, so im thinking its a vacuum leak

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    Make sure you lube the threads on the collar and shock body, top of spring, bottom of spring, and don't take the tension bolt out completely. Just back it off enough to loosen the collar. Pic shows what happens when you don't do any of that. If you look closely, the collar jumped threads on the body.

    For most coilovers use a spanner wrench, I went with the T-handle tool from King allowed me to reach behind the resi hose without having to remove the shock.

    I have been reading through all 37 pages of posts and am shocked that no one has said something about the vote not adding up. Stuffing the ballot box maybe? :)

    Have you ever thought of painting the front D ring shackles? Maybe the paint would just chip off with use though.

    Ya I’ve considered it but they would chip off easy like you said. Perhaps a textured coat may do the trick, I will look into it more.
