    Good to know
    MY current setup is the DDI under seat mount with the nylon/pex line to a quick connect only a couple inches away. I’ll pay close attention to the setup and try a few different test runs before I have to use it for real.

    Some goodies from @memario1214 showed up yesterday. I started to attempt an install today but I’m going to need the full fog light kit to get it to look right, so waiting on some bezels from Sparks and the DD mounts from Colton :playball:

    Wish I had known you didn’t have the fog kit. I put the light bar and the winch in the bumper today. Hopefully do the dogs and mount it tomorrow. I’ll have an extra fog setup when all is said and done. Let me know if Colton drops the ball :gossip:

    Edit: come to think of it I’ll have the bezels too

    Any chance I could get those bezels off you? Got my truck back from dealership months ago and I'm starting to think I'm never getting my final parts. I'll pay for them plus shipping.

    I have a 2018 also and when I lifted it the smaller spacers helped but did not fix it. I swapped out with the thicker spacer and the shudder described as “torque converter issues” by SDHQ was solved with the spacers

    Using a flat plate of sheet metal/aluminum inside the dash REALLY helps with any flex you may experience on top of the dash. I had ICS dash mount first that has the inside plate. I went to the Rago and modified the other plate so I did not have to drill a second set of holes and that worked just fine

    Having all 4 in the air and a soft landing in the rear keeping the front up you can feel the rear land (hydro bump) then the front with the Duro Bumps is nice and smooth

    Shhh... my wife might hear you and call me on my bluff.

    I got frustrated trying to grind the heads off, but it definitely would be the better way to go than bending them out like I did.

    I have a sheet of 1/4" aluminum sitting around that I may make one or two backing plates. I haven't noticed as much wobble after having it installed for a bit, but I also don't really feel like tearing the stereo out again, lol.

    I need to get out in the desert and send it. For science.

    Thanks!

    We don't need the wife to know why my steering rack and front suspension got blown out. But also yes.

    Knocked this out today and it did help a ton. @BiggHertz says maybe I should have spent the $30-ish on the ICS one, but meh.

    It shall remain worthless, as I forgot to take pics of the finished product and now it's buried behind 4 10mm bolts and a shitload of panel clips.

    Funny you should post that - my hand almost ended up looking like that before I finally put a leather glove on to hold the plate while I drilled.
