    So the set bolt for the adjustment collar on the coilovers was turned in backward. That prevented me from getting an allen wrench in there to loosen it up to adjust the collar.
    I was a dope though and went off someone else's assertion that they were on backward without thinking about it and realizing it wouldn't matter what side they're on, it would still face back toward the frame.

    Basically, I'll need to get a spanner, take out the coilover, loosen the bolt, then adjust and make sure that set bolt is facing outward.

    The biggest part though was that my drivers side sat a whole inch lower than the passenger side. I figured the coilovers were already adjusted for the taco lean and they were just mixed up originally. Turns out they were already how they should've been. Fixing the lca bushings actually fixed that issue and the truck now sits level.

    YUUUUGE improvement after the bushing swap and alignment. Drives like it should and soaks up bumps WAY better than it did with torn lca bushings.
    No more rubbing at full stuff & lock after the chop as well.

    How late is the last second? The Rausch trip is planned for that weekend. I'd like to do the VA trip for sure though.

    see the rausch trip was planned a few hours after the VA trip for me haha. so VA is the goal, but if I can't make it Rausch it only an hour away. But as for last moment, I wouldn't know until 3/22 that week.

    Ok, I'll do what you do then. I'd prefer to camp out in either place on friday night if you're game.
