    Oh yeah. You're going to want to grease those bushings nicely before install.

    Like I said, and I genuinely mean it...my stock leafs were noisier.

    I've seen some guys having hard time with some aal and squeaking noises. So, they have to grease the whole leaf before too?

    The mods have probably changed since last update.
    Has anyone had any issues with a popping noise when they turn a certain direction? For some reason, when I turn fully to the left side while driving, I'll hear a slight pop. It sounds and feels like its right around where the UCA's connect to the spindles, but nothing looks off and it still drives fine. I don't know if having stock UCA's may contribute to the issue, but its hard to diagnose exactly whats happening without totally taking off the wheel and messing with the spindle...

    Need input on bumpers and fender flares to run for this LT kit.
    1. Who makes good fender flares and what size should I get?
    2. what are my options for my bumper when running LT?

    These are spindles

    Not a long travel kit.

    Advanced fiberglass is my favorite, though you don’t need glass for spindles

    OKay. So you’re telling me since we have spindles, we won’t need glass for a long travel kit?

    Don’t understand what you are talking about.

    What long travel kit are you referring to?

    I bought the 3.5 kit from total chaos along with king shocks. Would I need fender flares or would stock ones work?

    So a 4” flare and 3” rise should be good?
