Thanks Brother, This is exactly the info I was hoping for. Greatly appreciate it! JD

No mud flaps. Also did extensive checking for rubbing. I fear it’s something mechanical in the front end suspension, axel etc. JD

Yes, I intend to do that. I’m still concerned about what’s causing that clunk. Thanks. JD

Hey folks. Thanks for reading, hopefully someone here will have / offer some clues to where my new noise is coming from. After initial instalation of lift, total chaos UCA’s, dif drop, FN wheels & 285’s, trimming of wheel well liner, alignment. no rubbing. Now a year or so latter, got...

Nice work, thanks. I’m guessing that’s what my guy is thinking too. Thanks again everyone. JD

Thanks bud! JD

Hey folks, So here’s my quick story, after initial install (lift, dif drop, UCAs) wider wheels, 285s, non traditional-custom alignment & wheel well liner mod was done so very little rub under road driving other than at full lock & under suspension compression. While aired down and driving on...

Thanks folks! JD

Thanks philsey, So HD ones? Are the Strongarm 6550 doberman mentioned the HD ones? JD

Thanks everyone. So mine going now is in line w/ others if not longer lived than others (i.e. 2011 75k). Doberman, Are these (i.e. Strong Arm 6550), stronger, or longer lasting than OEM? Thanks. JD

Hi folks The more I drive on the sand the more people I see stuck or in touble in some way. I always try to help; think what if this happened to me, & how could it have been avoided. This has driven me to build a pretty extensive sand recovery kit and be even more hyper vigilant w/ vehicle...

Hi folks, I have a 2011 SR5 w/ some basic mods for running the beach. I regret not holding off for a trail or a model w/ some type of locker or limited slip diff. I’d always mused, if i win the lottery I’ll install lockers... I’d really love to have that extra-sure-footedness on off road...

Yup, I bought one. They are the ones someone posted here in this thread, i.e., Sierra Expeditions Jac Jaw. Thanks! JD

Thanks. No craftiness needed actually. I’ve got an awesome mom & pop owned ACE hardwear store locally. I bought two of the chain link connectors w/ the open slot on the side, threaded w/ a nut to lock it down. It’s working load is 850lbs. I simply looped them through holes on each side of the...
