Hey guys, unless you all are allergic to shrimp, I'll also fire up a louisiana shrimp boil on my double jet cooker with an assortment of hot sauces on the side. Least I can do is make some lunch. I'll let someone else worry about the soda/drinks, etc.

I have no shortage of work to do on my rig. The c's have been sitting in my garage for a year., I've got a bent track bar and need to get my skid plates from banging my exhaust and maybe do a sector shaft brace. Maybe I'll bring my pile of parts, and some beverages and deserts.

Hey guys quick question, will we have the angled adapters already to help with install for the ball joints? I know they necessarily don't have to be used but if it makes things easier...

I don't have that particular adaptor. I just use washers and haven't had any problems.

Looks like I might need new ball joints too. I had Synergy HD ball joints installed last spring, but last night on the way home, I was getting some vibrations. Changed out the unit bearing just to see if that might be it, but there is still some decent amount of play in the front driver tire.... Checking with Synergy about getting them replaced under warranty, since they're still within the 12 months. See you on the 24th!
