    Alright, I am packing my truck tonight and heading to bed. I am going to try to be out of here NLT 5:30 to make it up there by 8. If someone makes it before me, I have a lift reserved for CHARLES at 8 for doing suspension work. My cell is 757-544-0036 if I am not there by 8.

    Everything went pretty good. We didnt get to finish all of Scott's stuff due to time but we were able to get 90% of everything done. I am very happy with the way the truck rides although I do notice I have a bit of Taco lean like you Jake and I am definatly sitting ass end high. In the next 2 weeks we will get together and adjust the front end. I am going to pick up another spanner jsut for ease of doing it.

    I had a camera but didnt take any pictures at all so thanks to Josh for posting some up. I was suprised at how easy doing the UCA's actually was. I do notice a tiny bit of shudder now when I just start from a dead stop but other than that the truck jsut floats over stuff. I do notice a bit more body roll without the sway bar but I did some back and forth of the steering wheel and aggressive turning and it feels plenty stable so thats good.

    Thanks to everyone who showed up to help and I hope you guys all enjoy your new suspensions as much as I did.

    Looking forward to getting out and wheeling with you guys soon.

    I dont think you will get any settle out of it. If it was going to settle it would have on my truck before we put them on yours. I also notice a slight vibe in the transmission just pulling away from a stop. I dont feel any vibe in my steering wheel but that might change when I jack the front up another inch or two. I am glad you like it, your truck looks bad ass now. Just wait until you offroad it. You will love the set up.

    The trucks look badass! Nice reviews too! Does fox give you a scanner wrench to adjust the front? Jake didn't adjust his front easily either!

    No, fox does not provide or even HAVE spanner wrenches for there shocks... I know right. If you order from DSM you dont get a spanner, if you order from Allpro they give you a spanner custom made to fit the shock. In reality you need two of them (possibly they give you two) so I need to order a second one.

    Currently I am unable to break the top ring loose with just 1 spanner wrench . I dont have a lot of room to get it in there and put torque on it. I would be interested in hearing your procedure in adjusting the collars.
