    Got the relentless rear bumper in and mounted, torqued down the king coilovers, pressed out upper ball joints, put the new Light Racing UCAs on, wired new license plate lights. The truck will be done and ready to hit the road tomorrow thank goodness. Can't wait to crank it!!

    Yep, Nitro 4.56 Gears. Should be a nice change from my current set-up.

    Just ordered the American Racing AR172 Baja wheels at 4wheelonline. I decided to get them because I want classic yet nice looking wheels for my rig. Will definitely post some pics once they are installed.

    HAhahaha yeah it's smaller, and much more than needed, took the coilover out like you suggest, so this is full bump for the control arms, it won't be as flexible with the coilover installed right? In the shop I was comparing to yours as we were doing it and we didn't get into the A pillar near as much!

    No it is possible to get into your bumps easy even with the coilover in. Thats why you have to make sure it clears at full bump.

    Yea the a pillar part has to do with tire width, rim backspacing, and alignment.

    I was getting my LR ucas installed and going to finish them tomorrow. I pressed out stock ball joints and have the open hole in spindle. However the stud of the uca just sits through it. Is there something that is suppose to go in the hole in the spindle for the stud to sit in?

    Odd. Sorry man. I haven't done this yet so can't help much more

    He is on 315/75r16s. They always have holes cut about that size.

    Not the same as our 35x12.5r15.

    Do you have the round silver pieces that you press into the spindle in place of the stock ball joints?
