Finished removing the hood protection sticker and gave the hood a polish and wax. It looks like the bug deflector caused a small dent but overall much happier with the look.
Previous owner had installed a hood protection sticker that was severely UV damaged by the time I bought the truck. I have been putting off removing it because it was too brittle to peel off by hand.
Found this tool at Autozone and it helped a ton.
This plus some GooGone and I got this far...
Installed my Total Chaos UCA's today. The hardest part by far was getting the ball joint press to fit in the wheel well. Ended up following Yosh2000 thread and cutting the stem off the old ball joint.
My tires finally showed up this week. 285/75/16 Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx Hopefully I can get...

I only have a hundred miles or so since my lift but I will...
Will try that tomorrow. I was able to pick up the rear window relay for $20 at my pick & pull but that did not solve the issue... On the bright side at least I didn't spend the $500 for a new one.
Went to the junkyard and found a set of coil bump stops for $20. I had to cut my original pair to fit my previous air bag setup.
My cv boots were leaking after the lift but they did not look torn so I replaced the OEM clamps with hose clamps for now. Will eventually replace with Oetiker style...
New symptom - When I turn the ignition the door lock as they should but immediately unlock. Its similar to when you try to lock your doors with the keys in the ignition. I am still leaning toward the rear power window relay as the culprit because when I unplug it everything works as it should...
