    Oh nice. I know when I bought their spindles, you needed to upgrade the lower ball joints on the 04-06's.

    There may be a balljoint upgrade if you go with those spindles. I feel like I really wanted that.

    The tank system is low priority, but I will be getting a horn on a momentary button at some time. I went to the manifold first because it is immediately useful and I had everything after I got the hoses that attach. There are tire setups out there that are fairly expensive for 4-tire inflate/deflate. This does that but is better IMO, maybe the same cost or less. I want to get one or two different fittings to clean stuff up on the truck end, but I should make a video to show you what I mean about convenience and how it works.

    New tires look sick! I was surprised to hear you had frame rub with the new LCAs, I guess the the 1" that they pushed out weren't enough for the wider tires?

    Well they push forward, but not away from the frame, sooo....
    I'm going to first play with 3/4" Boras if my Methods have enough stud relief milled or cast into them.

    Well i missunderstood lol and that makes a lot more sense then. maybe they won't rub as bad on the pinch weld then with spacers?

    For sure, they just barely clear now on turns and would not clear without the Solos. That's good. Any spacing and that clearance goes away, so If I do space, I expect to be massaging things.

    I bought 1 1/4" boras without issue. Let us know if the 3/4 work out.

    Will do. I like them better for me. Almost zero frame rub and less fender and tub concerns. Also less scrub radius and leverage against the suspension. Less expansion and contraction under heat. One of the reasons I’m going steel in the end. But I’ll get into it more….soon.

    I'm very happy with my setup on the 3/4" spacers. They almost completely took away frame rub and reduced the other areas of concern as compared to 1.25. I'm going to the desert this weekend and will get a better idea of what can hit or rub as it sits. I have done the easy mods and am hopeful I don't need new fenders next week.

    I've changed bump configurations a dozen times. The latest is based on my full stuff test. I would really like a pair of Superbumps in the front and my current Durobumps in the rear (front-front, rear-front) to test, but I've just been spacing my Duros differently or pulling and putting them back, lol.

    Not really, but I'll trade a set for those supers :). The stock stops are bigger front-rear, I guess it's a progressive design as they hit first. Now that I have the Solo LCAs, the front of the same size hits first. And there is more distance than stock arms to the frame. Most people just add aftermarket bumps either front-front or front-rear, not both. Honestly, I've never hit them hard enough to really know how good I have them set. Or, they are so good I don't notice. That reminds me, I should see if I can find the boy's old go pro...

    I have some durobumps inbound from @memario1214 which I think are designed for FGT? Not sure though, not a expert on riding bumps.

    This photo is so sick! looks like you had a blast. Do you disconnect the sway bar when you go romping around?
