STOP!!! you are unhappy because your 5100 front spring perches are upside down. You need to remove your shocks and springs and flip the black 5100 adjuster things. You should not be able to see all 4 notches in the shock, does that make sense?
Should be like so:

12 v constant mod. Took about an hour but it works!
Not technically "today" but this weekend added my 1" body lift, Stubbs sliders, welded up a local plate bumper kit, installed my 40" light bar, cobra 75 CB, Scion head unit, TPMS disable mod. all in all, just under hours each for two people in three days. Need to take a little bit more time smoothing up the bumper and getting a better paint job on it.

Spidertrax 1.25in Wheel Spacers
Finally installed Spidertax 1.25in wheel spacers at all four corners. The 275/70r17 BFG All Terrain KO2 tires rubbed a little bit on the front inner fender liner prior to install. The spacers have increased rubbing significantly. Seems like it can be fixed by pushing the fender liner forward. I believe drilling new holes and using the existing screws to secure the liner is the way to go. If you have done this or something similar, I would appreciate photos and/or suggestions on how to proceed.

Sliders are on. The kickout is a perfect step for my son. Passenger side is a little too high, so the bottom of the door is scraping but it will work for this weekend. Also I'm not too keen on the driver side. There's only one clean spot to get a lag bolt through. All the other spots are blocked by the gas tank. Not sure if I need to pull the gas tank skid and cut the bolts down to make room or what, but I'm not sure I'd trust the weight of the vehicle on the driver side slider. I'll see my uncle in a couple weeks, I might see if I can talk him into welding them on.
I should have some better pictures this weekend.
Did you ever get in touch with rci about the fit of the sliders? I've got some coming in the mail this week and would like to know if you were just unlucky or if your's weren't the only ones that were too high.

The sliders are actually adjustable. I tightened up a couple of the bolts, then pushed it up with a jack. At that point they fit, but as I tightened up the lag bolts, it pulled it closer to the frame and pushed it up a notch. Pretty sure I just need to loosen up everything and push it back down, but I won't have a chance until this weekend to do it. As is, it's barely scraping and it's just taking some paint off the sliders whenever the door is opened/closed.

Got them both cleaned up I'm sure in time for sh*t weather to come in.
How do you like the 5th gen trail compared to the 4th gen in daily driving etc etc?
