    Oh yeah, I forgot... I don't have a sway bar either. Dang thing floats like a Lexus!

    You will notice one thing for sure... power. At 4300 lbs and a whopping 152 HP, the power/ weight ratio is awful. Once in 4lo, different animal with the 4.7 gear set in the Inch Worm TC.

    So the gusset on the passenger side was pushing the dust cover which in turn was rubbing somewhere on the rotor...i saw it resting on it and bent it away, but obviously I missed a spot...I told the guys at firestone and had them look at it...they confirmed it was the dust cover, and truck runs money! Sits slightly lower in the back now, but when I add the rear aal that will change...it definitely needed an allignment hahah as you can see...was exhausted from waking up this morn early to put the coils in and get it done. Rear will have to wait till after xmas

    How does it feel? Extra still or better? I’m considering that spring upgrade.

    Its awesome! A lil stiff but once the coils settle in more I am sure it will be perfect...gonna take the sway bar off though. I dont think I need it. With .75” preload i get more lift then the crazy preload of the 650#

    On a side note a big thank you to @desertjunkie760 for all the help and welding and painting the gussets! You da man!

    I’d like more lift too and my icons are tacked out. I’ll be looking for these I think.
