I woke up like an hour early to wash it this morning lmao I felt like it needed to be clean before it hit the streets for the first time.

can’t wait to get it painted eventually.

Drove all across town with it today. Ride is absolutely fantastic. It definitely needs to be tuned a little bit as I think it might be a bit firm although with the firmness I definitely feel more in control over the truck.
Definitely well worth the time and effort.

The best thing I did was do a highway run and if it felt like it was bouncy I added a few notches until it felt planted but not harsh. That pretty much landed me straight on the auto cross settings and it feels great.

So start soft and slowly stiffen

Did some digs and rolls with the new set up.

I have never felt so planted in a truck ever. This thing does not move at all. Like holy crap

Pics/Vids or it didn’t happen. That’s awesome to hear tho! It’s amazing what such a well priced upgrade can do, I wish Viking made bigger shocks that would fit lifted stuff.
