Getting an 1.25" body lift instead of waiting for a full lift. Hate seeing the gap between the body and frame.

The RR hood lock is a POS. Lasted three months before the lock started slipping from the arm so it would get stuck both the locked and unlocked positions. Also the keyhole has no cover so lots of crap gets in there.

Teraflex swaybar quick disconnects. I bought these for a temp fix till I get longer links. Wished the place that sold me had other options but they only had teraflex in stock.
As for the links, it's just a rod with bushings but since the bushings are so hard/tight, it's almost impossible to disconnect them and connect them without a some kind of a crowbar. Once I get new links, I'm selling these suckers.

Mine do the same, definitely a disappointment. The storage pin feature is nice though.

That's another gripe from me. When it's stored, the tires touch when The suspension is flexed with tires turned. I am not taking the chance of cutting the tires especially out in middle of nowhere.
