Here's 2 Dewalt guns I own and would recommend:
[/B

Do you find the 3/8" useful? How much smaller is it tip to tail then the 1/2"? I have the 1/2" and use a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter when needed. I already own more DeWalt tools then most folks but one more never hurts. lol

You can also buy both of those as a kit. That will include a charger and a battery. DeWalt uses the letter B for a bare tool. For the tool plus battery and charger they use a letter and number combo. For the 20V 5ah battery that letter is P. So P1 has one battery and charger plus the tool and P2 has 2 batteries, charger and tool. Sometime the kit is cheaper then buying the batteries and charger seperate.\

Here's the link to the P2 kit for the 1/2". That "used like new" from amazon warehouse is a steal.

I have the adjustable coilovers with the spanner collars so it should be somewhat easy to adjust. I just don't want to make a change unless I really have to, the alignment specs came out great. Despite my experience

If you like the ride height leave it for now. If you want more rake, lower it. I've had my rig aligned a few times in 2 years. It's just part of playing the game.

Well my brother, it sort of sounded like you were heavily hinting that the mod wasn't necessary based off your experience.

You can read it anyway you want. "You don't need" and "I didn't do" are two totally separate things. But since you bought it up I don't believe it's needed.

You have every right to your opinion. I have every right to mine. I did it one way and you did it another on Sean's rig. Sounds like we have two perfect examples to use. I'll let you know when and if my boots wear through and you let me know when and if Sean's boots fail from the extra stress caused by stretching them.

If you want to talk about it some more bump one of the boot stretch mod threads or create a new one. I'm all for getting the to the truth of which one is better. Opinions don't really interest me.

Alrighty. Sounds like a plan.

The 3/8" Dewalt gun was recommended to me by [MENTION=69868]LittleCaesar[/MENTION]. I do find it useful for applications where space is limited. It's not super strong but it does work pretty darn good. I'm stuck at work for the next 2 days so I can't measure the tools. The 3/8" is considerably more compact.

Thanks for that link. That does look like a good deal. Amazon comes through way too often for me. Another place I can go broke quick.



I think I'm going to go ahead and drop it a half inch and see what happens. I'm looking through more and more pictures and it really looks a bit higher in the front to me and I don't like the prerunner look much at all. Its getting way too popular with all the bros around here anyways haha. It will also let me know if the vibration lessens but at this point in my mind I really don't think that't the cause of my vibration.

The front looks super high in this picture. It doesn't usually look that drastic.

I will have to continue researching on this. Either way I can see a lot of CV work coming up in my near future hahah.

I have a 3/8" but the thing just has no strength whatsoever. Its amazing what they have going with these lithium powered tools now. That 1/2" with a breakaway torque of 1200 lb/ft haha that's just freaking awesome.

I like this picture and I just took it so it shall be posted

I'm so jealous of all y'all and your many places to go wheeling. I wish like anything we had that here.

Finally had a day off to troubleshoot a bit. I put about 200 pounds in the back and went for a drive and the vibration was much better if not gone. That tells me it's in the rear end. I'm going to drive for about a month and see how things settle. Once that's done I'm gonna do a finally adjustment on my coil overs. I really want a good looking rake stance. Nothing crazy but I would like it to be about right with a small trailer attached. What do y'all shoot for, about a 1/2" difference from front to rear or more? I don't want it looking like a dragster but I hate the rear sag look.

Looks like I may be going for adjustable rear UCA's along with the PCK. Just to document it, rear adjustable UCAs is what Toytec recommended when I emailed them. I just was very surprised being I don't even have the superflex springs. I'm going to go ahead and grease the driveline as well and may look into replacing the u joints. I can imagine these are the stock ones anyways.

Well y'all aren't going to believe this. I think I fixed my vibration. I finally got a damn day off work and I greased up the driveline and what do you know. Every damn joint was dry. I prob pumped 15-20 pumps in the slip joint. I never did see it move but I figured I'd go easy before going nuts. Should I put more in? I think with the lift it was just empty and dry. I have felt the clunk previously as well and I never looked into it. I can see where it has expanded from the lift. I don't want to over grease but man it feels 100 times better now! Easy fixes never seem to work for me. I'm STOKED. I also finally split my inner cv axle boot yay haha. Time to go ahead and get to rebooting. We will see how long the passenger side lasts! I did meticulous measurements and I'm about level within 1/4" on all fours so I'm gonna roll with it for now.

Thanks for the help and suggestions everyone.
