Yeah, that's definitely something I do on a regular basis, and this is a different noise/feeling as far as I can tell.

Hey all, I've been trying to track down a intermittent "clunk" or "pop" sound that usually happens when straightening back up after turning from a stop. Like when taking a right or left at a stop sign. On occasion, it will also happen during straight line acceleration from a stop. I've replaced...

Does the front skid take the place of the factory 2-piece skids?

Did you change up the rear sway bar end links at all? 2nd gen links are an easy swap that add some extra length. Stock ones can be too short after a lift and cause the sway bar to bind, leading to a harsh ride.

Hey all, I'm getting ready to replace my rear ABS wire harness due to stretched wires on the LH side. Anyone who has done this before, do you have any tips/tricks for unplugging the white plug at the end of the harness on top of the frame rail/upper spring perch area? It's hard enough to get...

I have some you can have if you pay shipping from SC.

Out of curiosity, have you been through downtown Charleston since you've had those installed? There are certain streets that will flood with saltwater during high enough tides. It could be that you splashed through an innocent looking puddle and sprayed down the front suspension components. No...

Overdrive is your highest (least RPM) gear. What you're describing is the transmission downshifting into a lower gear. It sounds like the shop who did your work may have left something unplugged. Edit: given that you had multiple cylinder misfires, I almost wonder if they have the timing off by...

Except for when you said that skinny tires don't look "tough"
