Bought 1.5 coil spacers and adjustable shackles from my good friends at rough country! Will be here Friday... Good addition to my axle swap and 33's

Changed the sway bar bushings and sway bar links (& bushings) yesterday. Gonna change the track bar bushings and steering damper today. Then get a front end alignment. Since the ball joints are good, I hope this takes care of the death wobble!

The death wobble is to keep you awake on long drives

Started my high pinion 30 swap today after I got off work. Everything is unbolted except the control arms. Will drop the POS LP 30 tomorrow and put the good axle in. Thursday needs to come soon so I can top it all off with my spacers!

Speaking of batteries, I removed the battery in my new rig and put the CORRECT one in, lengthened the negative battery lead, as well as a battery hold down, and tidied up the mess. The previous owner installed a battery that was too tall, and had the positive and negative terminals swapped. Therefore, he lengthened one lead to make it fit, and had a rag on top to keep it from shorting out on the hood.

But that's nothing. You should see my suspension system. I've been told its gonna kill me.

Finally got my Detours tire carrier installed. I'll have to make a write up of it soon. Here's a pic to drool over for now.

I started it for the first time sense the rebuild, has been a year now. Was nice to hear it run even if it was running rough. Think it needs new injectors time to upgrade. Thank you Brandon for the help bro.
