    Everything and the kitchen sink.
    I just got it completed tonight. Still have the alignment on Tuesday or Wednesday before I get to really test her out. I drove it around of course for a test drive. It handles better for sure. It seems like I can feel every bump so probably have to adjust the settings. and the sway bar was cut off in the process which is quite nice I've gotta say. I had a shop adjust the front coilovers to 10mm so that should help (only part I didn't do) Definitely above all go somewhere dependable for the coilovers. I will be making a build thread as soon as I have time with all the great mishaps of this build later.

    Found a small puddle of oil under the truck today...

    Just can't catch a break with this engine.

    Yeah, cutting my losses. Going to get a used engine and swap it in. I got screwed, cost a lot of money, but my topper/suspension will have to wait a bit....again.

    It does, but hopefully this is the last time I have to spend money on the damn engine for a few years.

    So I got the grinding noise when I let off the gas above 50ish after the lift. Any ideas? I read the driveshaft flip one but one guy said it came back after not too long. (It's in both 2 and 4H).

    Drive shaft slip yolk slop. Pack it full of grease shuts it up for a little while... Plus it will verify your noise.
    They say an after market cv drive shaft is the best fix. That's next on my list.

    Yea that's what it sounded like was most just deal with it. Wasn't sure if anyone had actually corrected it. I'm gonna try the driveshaft flip today n see how that goes.

    Ok so where I live I've been seeing two 2012-2014 reg cabs with color matched bumbers and fender flares with the trd sport rims. Is this something they did themselves or what ? If so, I want to do it to my base model!

    That’s exactly how my 2012 looks, but I bought it used and have no idea when it became that way.
