    Why buy the tire carrier when you can just buy a whole bumper with swingout(s) for 3x the price?

    There's a couple ways to do it. I loosened the KDSS shutter valves a bit to make it easier to manipulate the front LCA's. I could've dropped the sway bar as well, but loosening the shutter valves "re-calibrates" the KDSS system which helps get rid of KDSS lean. Takes 2 seconds to loosen/tighten the valves and I've had no issues with lean, so it appeared to work in my case.

    usually they only do 10% off. They did have a coupon code for TW for 5% off but they stopped all coupon codes from working due to rise in material costs.

    Lift is installed. Looks good. They broke (snapped / sheered) one KDSS bolt in the rear. I drilled it out yesterday (major pain in the ass) and will be putting a bolt/nut through tonight. I'll throw some pics up later for sure.

    Here’s some finished pics.


    And to prove that I’m a degenerate POS. Here’s some zip ties on the KDSS arm that made me feel safe haha. One bolt was good. The zip ties made up for the missing bolt - right engineers?

    All better / good enough. Bolt + nut save the day. Wanted to re-tap but didn’t drill the old bolt out straight enough.

    I am talking about the insides of the player. I am not worried about it just thought it’s a terrible design.

    Remove it and gain storage space?

    Yeah it's definitely an afterthought!

    But seriously, maybe a qtip dipped in rubbing alcohol will work.
