So I followed these steps a couple weeks ago. The One difference was butyl rope instead of strip caulk. Thought it was all good. Went through the carwash a couple times and saw no signs of leaking. I tried a different wash today and saw a huge wet spot on the driver side and some visible water in the corner. I used to only see some traces on the below window channel. This was way worse than before. 1 thing that I was concerned about as I was starting was. My truck was backed in the driveway so it was slanted nose down. But I thought the sealant touched both sides of the crease well. My other thought is I probably cranked on the bolts too much but I had butyl rope on both the studs and bolts. Wondering which would be more likely to cause the headliner to be more wet than before I tried to fix the leak?

Update: was the sway bar end link. Retorqued it to spec last night while on the ground and the sound is now gone.

I am not. Is there a way to differentiate that? I guess I assumed it was the suspension and not the axle. I thought I was careful securing the knuckle. Although in order to install the new coilovers I did have to move the knuckle towards me more.

Had seen it talked about but I hadn’t seen it installed. I just got done installing these coilovers. Haven’t put them through the wringer but they are a huge improvement over the z71 ranchos as far as the city goes. I failed you guys, I forgot to measure the before height. But I have them cranked up towards the max which was supposed to be 2.2” before has the tailgate down

So I decided to tackle my eiback coilover install myself. I found a DIY garage in town. the install was pretty straightforward. As I left, I listened for any noise from the suspension and could not hear anything. I checked again in my neighborhood and I could hear a clinging sound. there were only five or so nuts/bolts involved. Do you guys know if I need to get the truck in the air to torque the upper and lower strut mounts or the swaybar connector? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
