Then just this weekend did a decent amount of work!

-Rock Sliders by Accessory Outfitters
-4 degree shims
-Installed 6in skyjacker springs on the front (took out those god awful spacers, see pic)
-Adjusted track bar (gotta get a new one)
-rewired/re located amp and sub... sounds soooo much better tuned and actually running 2 channels
-rewired CB correctly lol
-patched wiper fluid reservoir (dumba$$ who put fender flares on screwed 2 holes into the reservoir)
-adjusted steering wheel

was sitting about an inch and a half lower in the front right lol and realised oh wow my coil spring went through my spacer! Then after the install today noticed it was actually the dumba$$ hack who put them on before me who actually intentially cut them open so the didn't have to completly drop the spring to get them in there. WOW. No worries i got 6 in coil springs now and no spacer

there amazing. Get them. Get the 31s then. They perform flawlessly in wet conditions and i have a great time wheeling. It will take frequent trips up to the mountain this winter. I have yet to have it in the snow because i didnt have it last year but others who have them have said there great. Road noise, there is none. I slip around in the wet sometimes in 2wd cuz i kinda have a heavy foot
