The same as the starter fluid, bubbles with the leak. But did you check where the TB goes to make sure its seated right. Do you have cruise control?

Trying to remove my trackbar do I've got the axle bolt out but not the frame side. I can't seem to get enough leverage on the 15mm nut on the bolt. What am I supposed to use?

I did the axle side first with a battery powered impact gun, it kicks ***. Then got the body side, the whole mount

Do bumpstops all around with the shackle relocator to protect shocks and such when coming down hard. After all that then do shocks if you need em

Bumpstop are done, probably going to get the Shackle brackets because I have a 90° shackle angle

Do those then the shocks after. What bumpstops you got. If they limit full compression of shocks
Go long travel shocks

This is before I cut the Daystar extended bumpstop down. It has about 1.5"-2" gap. I put a cap on the red progressive bumpstop. Any suggestions on what shocks to get, I have a 2" lift. Could I just get shocks for a bigger lift from bilstein

Oh yea I remember now, there is someone in the for sale section selling bilsteins for a 3" lift. Get that a BPEs and you're golden. What rear bumpstops you running
