    Glad I already have the Whiteline bushing in hand, otherwise I'd be ordering a set of those solo LCAs now too. I'll get some eventually, unless LT or SAS, who knows.

    The white line bushings work great. There's honestly not a lot of real reason for the solo lcas, especially since the didn't add a secondary lower shock mount. But the will be nice

    so why didnt you just go LT with igor too? at the price of LCAs and new shocks you had to have been close

    Width and I already have a lt truck. Did not need two.

    Yeah..

    The lower point is moved forward 1". You couldn't do that do the stock one without some major changes. Adds a lot of castor without having to tweak the cam tabs all the way out but doesn't shove the tire into the firewall. I'll add ucas next and it should keep my wheel very centered but have a lot of castor built in so my cams will be much better and that will make the bushings last longer too.

    By far the biggest advantage far as I'm concerned is the use of a standard style bushing. Way way easier to service than the oem/whiteline ones.

    They obviously aren't easily justifiable. But I don't care. I wanted to try them.



    Alas. Didn't show up in time so will have to wait for next weekend.

    Not sure what lug nuts you have but I have had success with using a 6 point socket to remove splined lugs before.

    Yeah not these ones from scs. Tried and a 12 point. Went to the parts store and and tire shop to try all the keys they had and it was a no go.

    Only have to wait a couple more hours and it'll be here anyways.

    Hopefully but not try and kill me..

    Seriously best money ever spent on a tool. Wouldn't do this job without it.

    Well Hf is either 2 hours one way or 2 hours round trip. I stop there here and there. But I have no issues buying nice tools most the time. Last my whole life. Not buying snapon or anything but not getting all of stuff either. Idk. Doesn't matter that much.

    Hrm, need to get me one of those. Do they make electric versions? Have cam tabs, spindle gussets and tower supports waiting on the sidelines for when I do the front end work. Gotta get the ADS shocks first, that will be tomorrow.
