    same here, I’ve heard how gas has shot up for y’all out there that’s insane. A good friend just passed thru Death Valley said it was close to $6.

    Finally non-truck stuff! Girlfriend and I are having so much fun minus running on ~3 hours of sleep every night.

    Not gonna lie I thought festivals were a huge waste of money but it’s actually sweet. At the Kayne West Gospel Sunday Service right now.

    I have the tie rod extensions setup fine now. I had to work on it a fuck ton and keep taking them off over and over again and shaving more down to make them work properly. My toe now is spot on.

    It will work phenomenally on 2wd. It's very, very beefy. Everything is built well, just not setup for having a CV boot in the same area.

    Honestly whoever wants this kit that is 2wd, DM me and I will give it to you for so cheap it'll blow your mind. Just get it TF out of my sight and off my truck :rofl:

    For those who don't know, my Solo kit is absolutely dicking me.

    I'm now on my 4th set of ripped CV's, and this issue is going to continue. Unfortunately, going back to mid travel is not something possible without digging myself into a financial hole then having shocks just sitting around, so I am making the splurge on doing it right and ordering a kit from a dependable company.

    I've taken it apart and put it back together at least 15 times now with no luck, but at this point I just want the truck setup and reliable again. Oh well, shit happens. My wallet hurts.

    Edit: Things I've tried: 4 different style of CV boots. Even the smallest CV boot will still rub and tear on the LCA shock tab - No getting around that. I tried clamping the boot closer to the hub, no luck. Tried stretching it out, no luck. I tried: OEM boots, OEM Replicas, then 2 other large style boots that taper into a smaller boot - None of them worked. O
