Yeah I did. Driver side came right out. Just couldn't get the passenger side back in with the spacer. so I had to go rent a compressor.

Can't not wheel it. The swampers and D35 are starting to make me nervous had some unhappy clicking on the trail...Don't know how many more trips it has left in it.

Well finally got my 1.5"spacers in. I was sitting 7.5" in the rear and 6.5 in the front. I'm at 7.75 in the front now. I took out the stock isolators. Doesn't really seem that tall though. What a pain that was. I def need some longer shocks. The rc nitro shocks ride so rough and are limiting my droop!

I'm not sure why it sits so high in the rear. 4.5" rc leaf packs. 2" shackles. Leaves r about 6-8 months old now. Maybe the terrible shackle angle?

I bought a temperature control regulator for my electric fan on my radiator.

It was hooked to a switch from the PO but then I connected it to my ignition so it would come on all the time.

I forgot about the winter and it would not be a good idea to have the fan kick on as soon as I start it up as it is trying to warm up.

The part is from AutoZone # 733653 for $ 17.99
