    Power Seat Repair - Stuck or Barely Moving - DIY

    i ended up replacing the entire assembly that has the fault part. i still have the rails/motor so if anyone can help me figure out how to pull the part out, i can send it to someone with a 3d printer who can scan it.

    on-road comfort lacking - considering switching platforms

    thanks for the replies everyone. i'm running wildpeak AT4s at about 33 psi. so from talking to some local shops/enthusiasts it seems like my spring/shock combo may just not be for me. i've seen alot of recommendations to just go back to stock. while i dont wheel or do heavy off-roading, i...
