But still don't call it a rock truck.

Laugh out loud

Hopefully get the two missing bed bolts I have from work tomorrow. Just need two and 4 washers. That'll kick down one of my tasks

I did them on mine when I did my UCA's and have beat, run off road, and even jumped my truck with zero issues of coming out of alignment at all. When I had it aligned they did charge me a little more than a normal alignment because they have to actually loosen and retighten to move the alignment cam to the next hole but it was completely worth it.
Those are nice and a decent price considering how expensive just hardware has become.

Well plans changed. I bought completely new UCAs 2 degree adjustables with ball joints already pressed in. Decided that since I am doing all this work I might as well replace the 23 year old bushings and ball joints etc.
This truck better ride like a dream cause it is putting my wallet to sleep!

Hopefully, your doing rubber bushings instead of poly or Delrin, I try to stick with rubber wherever I can it makes stuff a tad less harsh.


What UCAs did you get?

In two years Arthur will have the 6L80 swap figured out and 4l80s will be a thing of the past.

Those arms are nice, not sure how I never found them.
