    Did you drop in weight since you've changed it all up or sitting about the same?

    Got a day to work on the truck and knock off some items that have been bugging me...

    Chasing down some clunks, I think I found my 4wd clunk... much like jberry, but luckily didn't end the same..i had a loose bolt on my front diff.. real close to falling out, not even finger tight..
    20170827_103759.jpg

    Then many hours of wiring... my old rock lights took a shit and I've had a set of Lux on the bench waiting to go in.. so out with the old and in with the Lux.. cleaned up some other wiring sloppiness that's been bugging me...
