    Thinking of chopping off the exhaust that is dumped over the rear axle and instead getting a turn down pipe right after the muffler. Thoughts, concerns, suggestions?

    Looks good man!!^^ What do you have in the rear? Why did you go with the 5100's at .85" instead of a top plate spacer?

    Hey man! Awesome looking truck! What kind of UCAs are you running? If I get new suspension for my truck, I was thinking about Bilstiens 5100s all the way around, AAL in the back, and just got the idea of OME 885X Coils with them now that I saw you do it. What do you think? How's the ride with your set up?

    Thanks! And because only having a top plate wouldnt have been enough lift for what I wanted. Plus I didn't like the idea of spacer lift, even though it was very tiny. I would rather preload a tiny bit.

    I have light racing UCA's from fat bobs garage. The ride right now with my setup is way better than before with my bilsteins at 2.5 with stock coils. A lot smoother.

    He has light racing UCA's.

    That's the same thing I'm doing. I'm NOT setting my 5100's to .85 though I'm using a top plate spacer instead which is 3/4". :D

    Is it required to to change out the stock UCAs with less than a 3in lift? I though once you hit 3", thats once you need to change?

    ^ I was wandering with my Billys at 2.5 and stock UCA's... I had to get LR UCA's to fix that, and now I am currently at a little over 3' of lift with my new OME 885x's and billys set at .85, no wandering.

    The corners of your seat covers can be tightened. Especially now that you've had them on and they have stretched out. Un velcro the bottom and shimmy the seat cover down. Once you have shimmied both sides as much as you think you can, grab the bottom and pull down... HARD. At this point too, it doesn't hurt to grab an extra set of hands to ensure a tight pull. As one person pulls down at the back/bottom, the 2nd person can grab the front/bottom and pull it to you for a really tight fit. Attach the middle first, then do the sides.. this way you can focus some strength on each side.

    I hope this makes sense. We'll be adding more video and how to's to our website soon. http://www.clazzio.com

    Yeah I hope they can be tightened and fit better... was kind of disappointed with how it turned out initially. The leather is nice but just the fit was less than par.

    The instructions were useless and were written horribly.

    Yeah I agree, the instructions that come in the kit aren't exactly as helpful as they should be. That's why we're trying to put out more detailed how to videos. The custom fit is the best part about these seats, and when it looks off, it can be fixed. It took me a few tries when I first started putting them on. You just have to try pulling the leather at different angles til you get it.

    We're actually giving away another free kit again this year. Once we hit 5,000 likes on our facebook page we'll be doing another random drawing. Make sure you enter when we hit our goal. go to facebook.com/clazzio.com and help us out! Let me know if you have any questions about your seat covers.

    Well I hope that these seats will break in and be able to fit more snug to my factory seats...
