    Yep. Wife and I got into an argument about my truck the other day and how much I've already spent on it (using my part of allocated spending money). Got pissed off when I pointed out her shoe fetish. When she brought up the word "obsessed", pushed her pissed off meter a bit further when I said "I prefer passionate" LOL

    Didn't get none that night......

    Very cool Law, can't wait to see your truck with the new C/Os. Actually, I can't wait to hear your reaction to the new setup.!

    That was the only reason...... LOL

    Simple...insert quote "that damn pothole about took my bumper off! Thank God only my suspension was affected!!"

    All about making it seem like it "could've" been worse and you got lucky!

    Did any of you guys notice your steering feeling more "loose" afterwards? Feels like I could move my wheel an inch or two now and have my tires not move at all. Before it was all pretty tight.

    Maybe its the UCAs? Idk......

    I measured mine off of concrete so thats the only way I really noticed. I couldn't really tell from just looking at it. I was concerned with tire wear more than aesthetics

    Dial in the height before you go. And I think the allignment will fix the looseness.

    Yep, with a buddy. Would do it this weekend, but my options are in the street where I park....a parking lot that's never short of packed....or a gravel lot behind my quadplex.
    Installed my current spacer lift when I had a driveway in Louisiana.

    Given my limited choices, I'm waiting until next weekend when I drive down to BR for a wedding. Knocking it out before I imbue myself with some wedding spirits.
    Maybe I shouldn't drive that night......
