I agree with you. I had the same issue and thought my alt was bad. Turns out the positive with came loose and wasn't charging right. So I changed clamps cleaned everything and got and optima and she starts strong now. But I like to give options so if by chance first thing doesn't work they have something else to look forward too. A lil weekend maintainence and hell be trouble free in no time

So my RE 4.5 kit came with a bumpstop extenstion kit. The kit contained 2 bumpstops. No mounting hardware or the selftapping bolt the instructions mention. Is this correct or am i missing something?
I also have had to reuse all hardware except the ubolts. I figured i wouldve received some new bolts and what not for the price he lift cost.

Well thats infuriating. Really wish it would say somewhere in the paperwork about a hardware kit. So now my rear end is all stock crap hardware and will have to be redone now. And i cant drive it for days til i get sent a kit. Sweet.

Well there not really anything else missing from the front end stuff. Is there another way to put in those bumpstops without the self tapping bolt? Just a longer bolt and some washers and nuts?
