Now that I'm caught up with everything I missed while at work, came home to find that David's package to me had arrived . But a huge disappointment when I opened the box to find just the rear coil guides/spacers and no front ones . I could've sworn that when I ordered, I'd said I needed front and rear 1/2" guide/spacer thing, and I guess he didn't catch the front part .

Either way, I kinda felt like that was a waste of overnight express, coz it's gonna look goofy with 1/2" rear coil spacers/guide and none on the front. We have enough forward rake from the factory - wouldn't need to add more to it . So, I guess when we install the lift tomorrow, I'm going to have to do it like I didn't have the spacers to begin with - could've just ordered them without overnight shipping or just had Sean @ SLC get them for me and throw them on Wednesday . End rant.

I'm not sure if you know about Multi-quote there interceptor lol, but if you don't- That little quotation box at the very bottom right of a post- if you click that on a post, it stores what they've posted and it will put it up as a quote on your next response. you can multi-quote as many messages as you want, it even stores the posts if you switch pages, and will display all quoted messages as soon as you click "reply to thread"

but anyhow- regarding warranty. I don't have one.

regarding the oil filter, I guess it's time to change to a synthetic since I hear nothin' but good things about it (is royal purple synthetic?), and oil filters. thanks folks for the quick feedback.

I do know about the multi-quote and have used it several times - didn't want to draw so many multi quotes to where I use up a whole page quoting all the items

Yes, RP is synthetic, but just about any synthetic 5W20 will work. I'd keep RP for differential and transmission/transfer case fluid changes. Make sure you get an oil filter with a good anti-drainback valve. You can get Mopar filters online through several resources for around $6/each.

I'm not paying another $50 to next day air it again . Let's just hope SLC has some of these in stock - I'll check with Sean on Monday; if not, I'll just have to get it and do it whenever I get the part

Know what you mean. Wait before spending any more money to replace the arms and trackbars that you already have, and get a full alignment done before putting any more money. Sometimes, if we change too many things at once, we might never find out what component actually fixed the problem

I barely had enough room to change lanes and stop the girls were in the backseat screaming and I think that scared me more. Brandy was pretty calm since it happened to her a few times while driving it.

I noticed a slight roll over spot ( drag ) in the steering while sitting still and moving the steering wheel slowly back and forth
