    Try inserting the spanner from the top of the ring instead of the side. Looks like it might fit that way.

    Does anyone here have a steel front bumper with the brace installed along with their reservoirs?

    Might have to sell my new coilovers in box cause of the possible issue of the reservoir bracket and the C4 brace not working together.

    You'll need to get a sway bar relocation kit. They're pretty cheap and easy to install. I'd also recommend getting new UCA I went with JBA and have no complaints so far. As far as settings go that's up to you, I'm running 2 up front and 3 in the rear. just play around with it.

    biggest down side are the rear shocks and how fast they're going to fail from bottoming out constantly. as long as you're not off roading or hitting speed bumps to hard they could last for a while.

    Thanks for insight. I may stay the bilstein route for longevity since I already bottom out factory fairly often lol. Just a matter of choosing 5100 or going all the way with 6112. Probably would stay at 2 inch front and not do UCA.

    have any of you tried a progressive bump stop to help out in the rear?

    What rear lift do you have? It looks like they are way too long.

    I'm still dialing in my front coils . Shop never preloaded the front coils so I've been doing little adjustment . With my bumper up front with winch it put me at 5in in front . I might get a 1" or 2" block for the rear. I have about 3.5" of aal in the rear . Yeah it needs a little more lift in the rear. I will not run 4" block no effin way .

    I can’t say exactly because I’m not on a 6” lift. I would say a CMC, pinch weld and maybe a viper cut

    Did you end up installing the 3inch vertex. I currently have the 3inch vertex installed and the angle on my uca is steep and considered installing a MT 4inch spindle. But don't know if total lift would be 3inch vertex plus 4inch MT equal 7 or just the 4inch of MT

    Aloha What is your guys rear shock bushing/washer orientation. There’s 3 washers and 2 bushings. Is it flat washer, bushing , raised washer to frame , then bushing washer , and nut ?

    the instructions doesn’t have orientation.

    If I'm understanding you correct its washer to frame and lock washer on top of that against nut. And washer against bolt head
