Well played, sir!!

Installed some bushwacker oe fender flares

Screen protector for the Sync 3. Sounds silly but with the angle of the screen, fingerprints and the AZ sun, it was really hard to see sometimes. It also seemed to be developing scratches. Now, the fingerprints are barely noticeable and easy to clean. No issues seeing it now. About $15 on Amazon.

Any chance you have the link still? My screen is good but like a phone it's good to protect it.

I finally installed the fox 2.0 kit that I got a few weeks ago. I had never done suspension work on my own before, but the shop labor rates in the mountains here would have had me paying more for the install than the kit itself.

I ended up watching tons of videos and reading tutorials and did the install myself over two days after work. Got the fronts knocked out yesterday, and then did the rears today. The height gained in the front gave me the clearance for my new wheel and tire setup as well - rtr tech 6’s with cooper discoverer at3 xlt tires.

It felt awesome to do it myself and to learn some new skills - I really appreciate all of the info I found here on the forum.

The truck goes to get an alignment on Friday, then I can start figuring out how to install some new dobinsons rear leafs on my own.

Heck yeah bro… badass
The leafs won’t be as difficult, it’s just a completely different process though.
Take your time and be safe..
Good F’n job my guy

Hey thanks! I haven’t found many write ups on rear leafs installs. There’s one where someone installs old man emu leafs but has to do some custom work to get the drivers side shim added to the new leaf.

I assume that the drivers side shim for the rear leafs should be transferred over to the any new leaf pack, right?

Do one side at a time... You can loosen the u-bolts on the other side but don't take them off. If you let the axle rotate, your driveshaft will separate and destroy the threads. Ask me how I know...


The hardest part is getting the shackle through the rear of the leaf. Take your time and it will happen.

Yes, the shim on the driver side goes on the new springs as well.

Mine were Tremor leafs, but here is my writeup on my swap.
