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
went to the part yard today. got a spare drive line out of a grand. got a another a/c pump. got back to the house got a beer. got my first pump put together, i dont know it just fell together. tore apart and did the other one aswell, its back together n ready aswell. slow down i guess was the key. on to the wirein.

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.

this is more of a weekend update, Friday removed the rough country drop brackets and replaced with RE lower control arms it fixed my castor problem. (castor problem axle rolled forward to much and my steering with up against my steering stabilizer bolt). Saturday got some 33x12.50's and today kinda showed it off for a father's day 4x4 show, played on the RTI ramp scored a 683 and played on the teeter totter. then bought some shackles the replace the block in the rear.
