    I have Fox on mine, 2.5 with reservoirs, and I’m not impressed.
    The rears I have are actually for a 2nd gen tundra that were tuned by AccuTune. Those ride and handle the best.
    The fronts did not come adjusted like they said. The hoses to the resis are too long and you can’t mount them where the instructions suggest because your tire will rub them. They don’t come with a spanner wrench, you can’t adjust them on the truck. The fittings for the hoses are not in a good location. I adjusted my coilovers for 3 inches of lift and the rebound is too hard/fast so the DSC doesn’t matter there. They need a longer or stiffer spring.

    I've got Kings on front and 5160 in rear. The rear is pretty smooth. The front is a little harsh because I have 700lb shocks. But I figure once I get a winch, that might even em out a little. But as far as the type of off roading I do, it's a great set up. Not meant to go fast off-road.

    At the very least you'd need some of these to convert the eyelet to stud

    I cleaned the blower vent.

    I will probably pull the blower motor resistor out soon, vacuum out the housing, and hit the coil with FrigiClean in the near future though. I’ve got a process on here for that.

    Are you going to sacrifice a little airflow for the cabin air filter mod?

    I won’t. I wouldn’t mind pulling the evap and giving it a legit foam cleanse and a recharge. I need every cfm I can get.

    I think I want to do that too, but then maybe add an e-fan and the filter.

    Got some wires staged. Gentex harness to kick panel. Temp sensor to kick panel. Brake controller output connected.

    To Do after oil change series this week:

    1. connect temp sensor harness to Gentex harness (2 purple 22 gauge)
    2. Connect battery, ground and ignition (have a T harness for the radio ready to deploy but might go a cleaner way
    3. Connect circuit breaker and feed brake controller 30A of power.
    4. connect circuit breaker and ignition switched relay in engine bay for trailer power.

    Then it’ll be on to more fun stuff like switch-pros.
