    If you met drunk Mike, it might be behind the wheel of someone else's truck.

    So turns out my out of whack aligment was worse than I thought. About half way of the white rim trail I hit a pot hole and thought I just messed up the alignment. Well I beat on it the rest of the trail without noticing this. 76EF4F3D-D348-424C-8D7E-2CB4C7891664.jpg6294ABE8-5B1C-4046-A45B-B875AD43AF1D.jpg8F10B275-A6FC-4C20-B173-584109BE673E.jpg

    Yeah. Now the tower is slightly bent because I did not notice it.

    Too much to list, but enough to get me in trouble. Repeatedly.

    As far as the tower goes, you should see mine. 700# springs + maximum setting + 3/4" spacer + ridiculous weight + hard wheeling = domed tower tops. Been that way for a couple years......I wouldn't sweat it.
    Now, breaking the top hat, yeah, sweat that.

    With the right line you can do it on 32s and not touch a body panel. It's easier if you're narrow

    For sure, Ryan! Once I get my axle situation sorted out, I’d definitely be down for some snow bashing.

    That sucks. Are you sure it's not a bent wheel?

    I’m gonna grab a runout gauge from work and check the face of the spacer just to make sure. But I’m gonna be really surprised if it isn’t the shaft.

    Either way, I need to address things on my rear suspension that should have been addressed before the Kokopelli. I got lazy and it probably had a lot to do with it.

    I'll do a more official post when I get home, but just cause RT is over doesn't mean my vacation is. Currently enjoying a cigar at the edge of dome by the fire.

    My coil bucket has cracked twice now above the top plate for my kings. And they're only 600 springs on a 4 cyl 1st gen
