    There are at least two AC people on here who've stated they aren't w/33s, @FirstGenVol is one of them IIRC. Just rubbing frame at full lock in reverse.

    It's pronounced "rad, yo" :rofl:

    I don't know for sure yet for my own rig as I haven't driven it with anything resembling a lift yet.

    Swapped the TC 6" drop shackles for the AG 4" shackles, effectively putting some rake back. After finding some level ground I was 1" higher in the rear without too much weight back there before the swap. I didn't go back to the level spot, but I should be 1 3/4" higher in the rear now. Looks good and the shocks look like they are sitting about middle shaft which is cool.

    I literally just tubbed my driver's side cab corner this past Friday. Took a buddy and I 8 hours just for one side, granted we did a lot of sitting, drinking water and figurin' (and a little firefighting when it came to sparks in the interior lol)
    Looking back, I didn't cut enough so I'll have to enjoy some hammer time if I ever go to 35s. Passenger side is mysteriously fitting without any cutting aside from minor pinch weld hammer/trim.

    Sucks for you. Double Cab is a totally different beast. Your fault for choosing the inferior cab type. :rofl:

    So, I'd already ordered this once, and cancelled before shipping because I just wasn't sure. Bit the bullet again, but added UCA this time. It's my fault they're out of stock, guess I got the last one....

    Yup. Not who I chose last time. I was a little peeved that they force you to buy some form of rear lift last time, but with tax and shipping, came out cheaper than previous.

    I wasn't going to order UCA, but I had the extra slush so I figured WTF.

    Which means I'll probably just order OEM UBJ too, because, if I'm in there, may as well, right?

    I'll probably do the UCA later, though. I dunno.

    Have not been able to see it in person (damn night shifts). Picking it up tomorrow. I am told only very minor rub on plastic flare at rear of front fender well when at full lock. Easily correctable. Very happy so far - will post more tomorrow.

    It’s funny because it used to be basically 25 cents more than their call whiskey. I think I used to get them for 3.25, now we might be pushing 4.75-5$
    Hahah but I get lots of shift drinks; oh you opened the fridge door to see if it was cold? Shift drink! Or I get gifted someone else’s shift drink? Not sure how that works? Regardless of free drinks, I still tip; I know most of them, so I like to sit back and watch their interactions with the weirdos that go in there(im one of them!) and all of that pays off when in come in with my/a lady when it’s packed to the gills. “Mo here’s your drink, what does she need” as 6 nasty Nancy’s hiss at me because they had been waiting

    Well that's just not true. Not for me at least.

    It's not hard to fit 33's on these trucks. Technically my 285's measure out to 32.8" I think. A proper alignment goes a long way. After my last alignment I rub even less than before. I haven't done any trimming.

    Works for me.

    No thanks, I don't want something that needs a rebuild every 10k-20k miles.

    Really, that was my thing. Heard too many horror stories about Icons leaking. King and Fox both need rebuilds at ~20k on average, might be able to eek out 30k. 50k-70k seems to be the average on 5100s. I'll take longevity over flossing any day.

    I wanted to go Eibach, but the reality is, their lack of clear support/options for my truck was offputting.

    At your rate, that should be good for 10 years or so?
