    So your cap has tracks in it? My a.r.e. top doesn't have any tracks/channels so I'm trying to figure the best system. Thought about getting tracks so I can adjust the bars but might just get some fixed brackets if they are cheaper.

    Yeah it has tracks. Im not sure how hard it would be to add after the fact. I like this setup but not sure which way I'll go for my subaru. Thule bars cost $400 I think.

    Thanks for the info. Too many options put there I hate making decisions lol. But I really like the look of those thule bars. Very clean and minimalist.

    Looks awesome, is the power difference noticeable with the slightly smaller tires?

    Finally got my 5100s and AAL installed along with the new wheels and tires. What a difference the wheels make.A83630EC-E70F-4755-9728-7BF3AD30134E.jpg 68E9206D-F339-4B01-8940-EB2A27B1B689.jpg 9C566E97-4FF3-4A09-ACBE-3653A4B89A05.jpg

    Beautiful. Did you replace the needle bearing or do you have any plans to?

    I did not replace it when I did the lift, hopefully wont need to. I did the same lift to my 05 reg cab I had and put several thousand miles on it before selling, never had an issue with that one either.

    Lucky! I hope you don't end up with problems. My truck was fine for like a month after I lifted. Then suddenly, vibes.

    I had the vibes right after I lifted my 08. It'll happen eventually. My mechanic did the ECGS bushing replacement for 100 bucks and vibes went away immediately.

    I don't know a whole lot about first gens but I had to cut out a lot to make my 285s fit. I'd suspect the same for you. Might also rub on the UCA with a stock wheel

    stuff and things that make it better
    Skinny 33's rubbed slightly on my truck, once the pinch weld was folded back they only contacted the frame at full lock.

    Anyone have any updated information on swapping in bucket seats? I have a lead on some low mileage 3rd gen buckets and wondering if it’s possible.
