I'm pretty sure I did, just need to go get a heavy duty flasher and the leds should work. I drove it around town Saturday passed cops, didn't do anything to me. I'm just going to build fender flares an run it. Get rid of the that 30/35 crap. I got my 60/44 for 200$ together.till I get my 39.5s I can go wheel beat the **** out of it not worrying bout braking a axle or carrying tons of axles with me

Finally figured out my front end clunk. It was as simple as new sway bar bushings. Fifteen minutes later, no more clunk!

Default Yay for tight steering!!!

I replaced all my tie rod ends and steering damper today and MAN what a difference!
Before, I had somewhere between 12 to 15 degrees of play and the steering was way too easy due to the damper being worn out.
Now, I have maybe 2 degrees of play and thanks to a new, slightly larger diameter damper, the steering is very crisp and it doesn't wander all over the place when going over bumps.

I also made sure the tires were properly inflated and rotated & balanced my tires before doing the alignment. 1 tire was perfect but, the other 3 were slightly out.
