Changed my halogen front turn signals to LEDs and wired in resistors to get rid of hyper flashing. Talk about tight spaces and wiring harness tabs that do not want to release.....grrr That's all I could handle in 95 degree heat working on a black truck. Everything I touched was burning!

Thanks Not to hijack his reply, but I used 50w 6 ohm resisters for my LED tails and switchback front blinkers. Pretty sure that's standard for most applications. Be sure to mount them to metal, they get hot!

My truck is lowered by 2 inches in front and 4 inches in the rear with a flip on the rear. It took some figuring but I finally found a way to install with the flip kit. Got the driver side installed but the passenger side got held up by a shackle bolt that I could not get off with hand tools. The original installer must have used an impact wrench and the damn thing is on so tight that I almost stripped the head trying to get it off before I wisely stopped and put that side back as it was without the RAS. Got the other half of the RAS installed and everything cranked down tight. The back end sits almost an inch higher than before the install and so instead of being level it now has a rake to it. 1

Granite7 Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Had the vacuum pump replaced under special coverage and the rear pinion seal replaced under power train warranty on my 2016.
TX LIMO Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Made a custom fuse/relay panel for my behind the grill light bar and any future upgrades. Mounted it in the spare battery tray. Hopefully gonna get the light bar put in tomorrow. More pics to follow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5

I have noticed a slight reduction in sway while cornering and do feel like it was gripping better on starts. I have towed or hauled anything which is one of the primary areas you are supposed to see a benefit. That said I am probably going to take them off though. I have my truck lowered and I had to figure out a way to mount since the standard mounting method wouldn't work. Doing what I did has introduced a vibration at lower speeds that cancels out any benefit. That plus the extra inch it added in height to my rear which re-introduced a rake I don't want mean I will be taking them off. I think I can make them work in the future without the vibration by making some modifications to my flip kit for the vibration problem and finding a shorter drop shackle to help with the height issue. I need to find a machine shop for the flip kit issue. I think if I can just have an additional hole drilled on one part I can fix the vibration issue. Finding a shorter drop shackle actually looks like the tougher issue to address at this point.
Shea Albers Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Just got Fox 2.5s all around, cognito swaybar and endlinks, and Kryptonite UCA's and tie rod ends put on. Now I just need to figure out what wheels to go with
