Interesting. Did you do this? lol..I might try to find some brighter 74's to swap in at some point, or perhaps dimmer shifter lights. They are stupid bright, and the dimmer switch barely dims them.
Also, here's all the goodies going in the Jeep this weekend! It'll be a busy one...can't wait until it's all done!

mind if I ask you a question? How do the leaf spring bushings work? As in, do they have to be pressed in or what?

I haven't opened the bag yet to check them out, but I think they are poly bushings in two pieces, and you can just press them in by hand or with a flat piece of wood and a BFH. That's how it was with the IRO track bar bushings. I'll check it out more tonight.

Nope I've only used stock bulbs in my gauge cluster because I like dimming. The blue cover is an old trick, did it all the time for shows with gels on stage lighting.
As for the bushings it looks like your shackles came with the press-in style?

lol I'm good with PB blaster....tried and true! This lift is gonna be hell anyways! Now to drag my lazy *** out into the garage when it's 10 degrees out for another round of blasting...ugh!
Kroil is worth every penny though. It works in 5 minutes when it would take a pb blaster 3 days to do.

The liquid wrench penetrating oil is cheaper than kroil, but after using it, I won't touch a can of PB blaster ever again...the difference is night and day.
