Tried 40 psi on the new KO2's and all i can say these are not your regular C rated tires. BFG was bsing around when they designed the tire for the Raptor. Back to 36psi. fact prob wll run them at 35psi just cause i like the number better :)
Ford put 38psi on their doors, was talking to a neighborh about it. He run the same size at 35 in his 2019 Raptor Supercrew. 38 is bouncy for him, and he's running 3.0 Fox hahaha.

Where did you get the tire rack? I've looked through most of your pages and one minute it's missing, the next, it's there. Can't find anything like it but it looks like it might fit the bill for what I am looking for.

******** it. i can't revert the clock back :)
I wanted so damn bad to take the picture at 99999.9 then 100000.0 and i completely forgot to do it ontime Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk.....
Still, zero squeaks on this truck, on unmloested factory cv-axels, front LCA's, tierods and hubs, changing the oil every 8-9k miles with Penzoil 5w30 and Mopar oil filters, MDS disabled at 40k something, my own street 91 octane tune . did hit a rock on the offroad trail at 60mph on Joshua tree last weekend that got my steeering wheel crooked., drove 200 miles with the steering clocked 1/8 turn to the passenger side to keep the truck straight, traction control light came on on the FWY and everything. From previous experiences in my Jeep it used to do the same when the steering had that much angle to keep the vehicle straight. Took her to the aligment shop and she's straight again, traction control light is working normally after driving couple of miles with a centered streering wheel and she's back at hitting 80mph with one hand. Can't ask for a better truck knocking on wood.

Greased up my Icon UCA's, Core sway bar links and Clayton Trackbar. Ended up destroying the zerk and hole in my Clayon TB. Damn it. Teaching my kids how to close/open the grease fitting plug, (My son was paying attention :)) and what to do when the fitting gets stuck. Like a newb i tried to rush it and broke the zerk hahahaha. I said no worries i have an extractor so lets see how that works.... you can guess the damn rest, LOL.

Ordered new JJ side and the Jam nut just in case from Clayton. I'll have them tomorrow.
CUR-CE-9112NC-13 and FAS-0169578

If you have the Icon DJ UCA's, don't forget to loosen up the UCA mounts everytime you add grease to them.
51176859778_810c618c73_k.jpg2021-05-13_10-01-08 by RAM RSM, on Flickr

No need for anything special grease wise. From Icon FAQ's, any NLG#2 will work with their UCA's.

in my case i'm using conventional Valvoline moly fortified NLGI2. My UCA's are quiet as day one. The grease tube is $2.99 from Amazon.

I'll have to find another Firestone shop that's is worth the time. Per my post May 6 i thought the truck was driving straight, but curiosity got the best of as the truck didn't feel the same after the the alignment, sure it was straight with the steering wheel was straight but if i took my hands out of the steering the truck was steering left. i had called earlier today to make an appoinmtent to recheck and they said nah it's normal just give it time. Lol
sure they centered the steering but game the same toe and go sunday early service. I just took the truck to my preferred alignment shop and they got her to my specs. Now she's trully back in business, straight as an arrow with no hands :)
Icon DJ's have a lot of caster adjustability, the cams could move a lot more, and i had 5.8* already without Firestone touching them.

Waiting for my brother in law. He has the Toyota/Bisteins for the TRD Sport. He can't keep up with the Kings even when he tries hard hahahaha. And that's with him driving alone with my sister in law. I have 5 people in the truck and all the heavy ice chests, with the food, canopies, etc.
