Do you have it keyed so that the Tbar bolt is extended pretty far? It could be bending...

ooh yeah
Well, I guess the OME is soon to be gone. I just ordered the ToughDog 53mm front/45mm adjustable rear setup with the dual rate TourFlex springs and Nitro UCAs.

Good call, I'll have to check on that. Hope not.
Nice! That seems like an awesome setup. Probably would have considered that as a replacement for my OME setup, but I won this Slinky Long Travel package in a contest. I'm very stoked
Jealous!
I'm way interested in how you like that set up, it's between that and the Tough Dog for me. Will be a while before I pull the trigger, but there doesn't seem to be many 100's running the slinky, looking forward to your impressions. Truck is looking great!

Yeah it seems like I'll be the first 100 on Mud, as far as I can tell. I'll be installing it in the next week and posting my impressions here
@reevesci could give you a list of guys that have this set up or like it. You use yours like it should be @ikarus so I cant comment for offload manners, but on mine that she drives straight and road manners are very civilized for a lifted rig...and it looks awesome!

For sure! I meant not many people have the Slinky kit from 4XOverland. I've seen some reviews on Tough Dog but none on this one
I am running TD 45's up front, adjustable TD 53's in back, TD TBs, and OME 1.5 mediums in the back. It's surprising how well it behaves and rides, on road and off. I set the rears to 2 on the trail, 5 on the road, and 7 when towing, and it is like I have three different trucks, one for each situation. Can't recommend it enough.
I've got SPC UCAs and OME medium 2.5's ready to go on shortly, along with .5" HDPE body pucks. Looking forward to getting it all done and seeing what the LC can do with that setup.

I like that adjustability, sounds perfect. I need to do a body lift - did you make your own pucks?
Not yet. Bought this HDPE and a three-inch hole saw, it should be cake.

Oh my bad, my reading comprehension needs some work, or I need to just slow down!
Man! You're living life right @ikarus I wish I could win a contest
Actually, I just won a free small french fry at McDonalds!
Do you mean 53mm up front and 45mm adjustable out back? I'm pretty sure TD 53mm Ralphs are only for the front and aren't adjustable.
41 front, 45 rear adjustables. Didn't crawl under the truck and look.
