Yes, in January no less!
I did the Cognito 1" rear blocks and replaced the Ranchos with Kings first, then the front.
I replaced the upper control arms with the Cognito boxed version.
Cognito instructions want to trim the droop stops a bit. The Kings provide the droop stop now.
I replaced the Ranchos with Kings.
I got the kit from SuspensionMaxx, but didn't use the little shock extensions, I set the keys at 1.75" (you will need a torsion key tool to do this as the adjuster bolt is pretty tight under load).
I installed the diff drop spacers and skid plate spacers the came with that kit.
Then took the truck for an alignment. The diff drop spacers were fun as you need to be a contortionist to get some of these parts installed.
The shocks have adjustable settings and I am running them on the lighter side which makes the ride much nicer. The Ranchos were so stiff and dead feeling.
I did get a lot of guidance from Filthy Motorsports, who dialled the shocks in, before shipping them to me. If you are looking for some guidance, I would suggest a call to Ben over there.
I had that issue on my 2011. I used one of those headlight restoration kits that take out the yellow cloudy look caused by the sun. I don't recall for certain what brand I used (I'm thinking it was 3M) but it was one of the better ones, about $20 (don't go cheap). That was 3 years ago and there is no difference today. But, my truck is garaged. If I have to do it again I'll be using the Cerakote brand. This is easy to do. Just follow directions on the bottle exactly as it says.
I have a 2006 Silverado that has the headlights yellowed pretty good and not shining through very well. Replaced a year or so ago with aftermarket from Amazon and wouldnt adjust so returned them.
With this said what can i get a good quality set for headlights and parking lights to match OEM style look with regular bulbs 9005/9006?
Truck is used for fishing and hauling stuff so not driving all the time daily like going to work etc.
I see TYC halogen lights but i want the OEM lights not LED etc. Not good at modifying things from original to go LED. Or is there a plug and play LED set out there a good quality to install plug and play.
Tried the cleaning and stuff to clear up but yellowed again quickly.
Appreciate the feedback.
