Looks good. Nice and simple design.

I was looking at the jeep quick disconnects to use on the rear but I’m not sure how that would work since the sway bar is attached to the axle. I could reinstall the front and put a pull pin through mine with the clevis design but I really like how the truck rides without the front. I’m debating on getting the hellwig rear bar

To disconnect he rear you'd have to mount the swaybar to the frame. I've been contemplating it with a splined bar. Wouldn't be hard. Just don't know if the juice is worth the squeeze.

Yeah it's easy enough. I think I have to reposition pin mount though. I'm concerned with binding. Well, binding then breaking. So far however it's been stellar on and off road.

I looked at the anti rock bars. I was thinking about rigging one up before but like the ability to use stock parts.

Ebay used nascar parts are wayyyyyyy cheaper.

Pretty cool. Some things I would change. But overall I'm happy so far. Had it and the Tent up to 80, and felt solid and secure. We'll see how it does over time.

My real estate neighbor told me I could list it for rent during "season" for $1200/mo.

 

[czervika]

Teehee. Coming soon. Well the other 4 are on their way anyway...

Fun weekend out in the woods.

My neighbor with the 3500 in the background thinks this **** is funny.... Game on.

Running boards left to bolt on and that will be that until tire time I think.

No pics yet for this week but I installed 1 inch aluminum spacers in the rear. With the bilsteins at 2.8 the rear was a bit low. Don't care for the Carolina sag look.

Anyway that's it for this week.

Hey nice one ! How do you like the rear coil spacers ? I have 09 1500.

They were ok. Went by the wayside when I did the lift. Though the new spacer is 4" from AEV.

Here we go yet again... I think at this point if a company uses FedEx as the shipper I'm no longer doing business with them.

What did you paint the bottom of the cab/bed with? And did you do it yourself? I really like how that turned out.

 

[czervika]

Raptor liner. The below the bodyline was done with a Purple Harbor Freight HVLP gun drilled out to 2mm. It has the texture of factory plastics. The flares unfortunately ended up with the custom shops schutz gun because the HVLP flashed before I could clean it and I already had the product mixed.

And, Thank you.
