I have like 4 sets of stock lugs and a set of McGard lock lugs in the garage. These are better, nobody has a socket long enough to take them [emoji23]

Yeah you pretty safe on no one taking them, unless Never Satisfied comes to your town.

Changed shifts with one of the guys at work so I got home an hour early yesterday. Took that opportunity to get my rear sway bar put on, mostly anyway. I used the DJM endlinks from Tony (NorCalSS) to move my Belltech bar over to the he passenger side by about an inch.

This puts the passenger side end between the panhard bar mount and the shock. It is TIGHT to say the least but it doesn’t seem to hit. If it does, I’ll clearance the panhard bar mount a little and see if I can get the bar to slide to the drivers side a touch.

All that’s left to do is drill and tap 1 bolt hole on the driver side mount and decide what I wanna do for that recessed area under the other bolt hole. May just use some large fender washers I have and through bolt it.

FINALLY. Got the bar all the way in for good. This thing fought me every step of the way. Got both new holes drilled for the drivers side mount. ****** up the front one so had to drill it a touch bigger and through bolt it. The rear I had to use spacers to close up the gap. But it seems to work great. We’ll see how it drives tomorrow.

Also got the spare back in (was gonna leave it out and take the lift out but I’m hoping it’ll drop the rear just a touch). It is close to the sway bar but I’ve got about a finger width gap so it’s fine

Also got some set screws to put in the roof in place of the stock rack bolts. Looks sooo much cleaner with these being flush. Gotta go back and swap one out cuz it was too small and I didn’t catch it when I bought them. A little clear sealant and we’re all good

Thanks man, Ga truck it's whole life.


So, I've been wondering something. I've been wanting to crank the T-bars up a little to just make the front end no so soft. But I don't wanna go up any on the height. Eventually I'll add the DJM upper and lower arms.

I have my stock keys in right now that just have a little bit of crank, so for the time being, could I install my drop keys and crank them back to the height I am now? Does that even make sense? I also plan on adding some new bump stops/jounce bumpers since I basically have none but wanted to run that idea past you fellas first.
