Finished the installation of the lift. I did break the sway bar end link on the driver side though. It will be parked until I get the new one lol. Next up is the winch installation

Did you break it or just pop it out of socket?

I did the same thing and took the bar off and used a rubber mallet to pop it back in. Granted I still have less than 11,000 miles on my 19'

I’m curious if either of you did your install by jacking up only one side at a time. I’ve read that it puts enough strain on the anti-sway bar for this kind of thing to happen.

Or, were both sides in the air on jack stands at the same time and it still happened?

Just trying to help out the next home installer. ?

Do you have full articulation/stuff without rubbing? If so that is very impressive and it must be an absolute beast on trails.

I haven't done any crazy offroading yet since the new tires. I need to do some testing to see if I have any issues. I'll probably raise the front 1/4in and move my castor a little more forward. I did some trimming. The truck was a beast on 33s!

I basically followed stage 3's video and sort of forgot twice to loosen the bolts for the sway bar to give it enough tolerance for when you have to push the control arm down. Woopsie lol

I had to even things out. Now I have all the extra hp unlocked.

Dropped it off at 4whlParts this morning, then rode my CX bike 11 miles home. Did yall know summer was here already! Damn hot out there. Once I get THE CALL later, I'll saddle up and ride back to the shop.

Washed it!

Put this on instead of the weather tech branding. Do Interior stickers count towards extra hp?

I was vacuuming my truck yesterday, and the Husky sticker came off the driver side mat. I wonder if it's the same size as these? Do you have the link for these?

My Husky sticker keeps coming off on the driver side too. Don't know if it is the same size as that.

Installed the rear Eibach shocks I got from a member here on the forum.
Gotta go for a ride to see how much HP I gained in addition to the ride quality.

I only had one side at a time jacked up with a floor jack/stands. I had the sway bar bushing brackets loosened on the side that broke. For the passenger side I just disconnected the end link before I started and had no issues.

Popped out but I really tried to put it back in and thought it was toast... I'll try again.

Put my new license plate on today. My temp plates expired today.

Depending on how many miles are on them they may be much more worn than mine.

But I did have to hit it pretty hard with a rubber mallet and you have to find a way to keep the bar stationary if its off the truck and have no large bench vice.

I saw a pic on here of one that popped - it looked like a ball and socket. If you do this while it’s on the truck, a C-clamp or large channel lock pliers might make it easier to pop it back in.
