Changed out torsion bars and rear coil springs. Rides much better. Also finally installed my winch.

Ordered PowerStop rotors and OEM pads.
 
Interested to hear a review on these, particularly the rear set. I had a set years ago and the rear shocks were not valved correctly at all, but I know they've discontinued that part number. I've seen you post pictures towing before and am interested in your feedback on them when you get a chance.
Thank you

I have been running the same shocks since 2015. These replaced the Foxes I already had. They are fine for towing. I have the medium OME springs too but I think I am going to move to heavies.

Is anyone else have an issue with airbags upon articulation? Gonna wheel it next weekend at the Cove and fingers crossed that the bags dont get stretched (one broke at Rausch). I will say that AirLift is a phenomenal company who stands behind their product: they sent me a replacement bag for free, no questions asked.

The tech who works on my truck told my husband he didn't like how these new Foxes were valved and the truck was riding too rough now, but I think it's always been that way and I don't mind it. However, we are already thinking of other options for the next time around (prob next summer).
 
Replaced front shocks. One top nut came off ok with only pb blaster and vise grips. The other required sawzall. Next time I'm going to order replacement top washers, as my sawzall always seems to cut into it if I have to saw off the nut.
 
Made a homebrew CO2 set-up then drove from Denver and did some stuff in Ouray with these idiots. :steer:

Just ordered a new High output alternator


We use this company a lot for a different application and they have good products.
Do you expect that the durability is better than a Denso reman? I don't need higher output but I am curious if lifespan is improved with a unit like this.
 
Did a ton of work on @CatskillsRunner 100 in prep for wheeling next weekend at the Fall Crawl in VA as well as get it ready for the winter.

Rear brake overhaul: new calipers, hardlines on axle, all three soft lines and brackets, new pads, rotors, slide pins, boots, clips, and clamps. Basically in the rust belt everything has to be replaced.

Installed 1” spacers just to see how they perform. No verdict yet.

Got the Ol' girl home. I had a ding or two, but first carnage is finally here.
Threw a new CV in. I was used to my Taco and forgot I needed to remove the lower. I first thought "S***! wrong parts!...again!"

Your looking at very dirty Icon 2.5's (awesome). Slee diff drop. Homemade extended sway links. Nitro Gear uppers - (7 outta 10) my personal opinion on these uppers. They do use Tundra ball joints though.

You running extended travel Icons as the description of those UCAs like to mention being made for?
