Just sayn .02
33's on 2" isn't useless at all if you know what you're doing. Little trimming and bumpstops go a long way. Its personal opinion but i'd feel much better on 2" and 33's than 6 and 33's..

If ya dont feel like buying another set and the wrench ya got can take it you could heat it up and bend it to get a better angle for turning it

Yesterday, finally found the cause of a slight rattle. Lower control arm got a tad loose. It had to get looser for me to figure it out because I check before and it didn't move enough.

Today I will tighten all the various bolts on the suspension. After 4,000+ miles on Rough Country (though only mild wheeling), no complaints other than this.

I was going to but my bolts came out perfect when i put the shocks on. I had to put the shocks on wih just the axel raised instead of let it hang and jack stand the unibody because these shocks come deflated and only way to install is with them compressed until you hook all the air lines up to them.

LAST full detail wash of the season it seems. Soon it will be too cold to climb underneath in the water and wash her belly. Did the door jams too and had to take the doors off to let the front seats dry, Whoops! Got all the mud off from the last week of rain, so from here on out till spring I will have to pay to use the pressure washer to clean mud off.

Just taking a cig break before cleaning the winders and a quick vacuum on the drivers floor since I work in the dirt a lot likes to come home with me.
