Wow, you didn't paint the bolts on the diff cover, makes all my work look like crap.
Is the fill plug still red?
I didn't have time to paint the bolts being that I had to re-paint the fill cap black:flipoff2:Quote:

I'll get more pictures when I get a few loose ends tied up.
So far:
Front:
3 inch Thuren coils
3.0 fox shocks valved by KORE
KORE sway bar and track bar
Carli control arms, high mount steering stabilizer and diff gaurd
2010 Mopar steering up grade (T-type)
Hydraulic bump stops
limiting straps
nets just shy of 11 inches of travel
Rear:
Deaver leaf springs (~1 inch raise)
3.0 fox shocks valved by KORE
Lowered factory bumps 2 inches
not sure on travel yet but it's somewhere south of 11 inches
Left to do:
Clearance front fenders for 37's
modify and install inner fenders
find some bumps for the rear
Maybe work on some rear air bags
Then onto bumpers, skid plates etc

notice a difference in power from the intake and exhaust?
Actually yes, I'm really impressed with the S&B intake and 5 inch exhaust. Less turbo lag and more power, as calculated by the butt dyno.Quote:

The sway bar is way stiff, which makes for excellence street manners and faster corners but sucks on the RTI ramp. I'm still thinking about getting Thuren's quick disconnect when they come out.

Not quite flexed out but you get the point

For JB :flipoff2: (actually a lot less smoke than before)

edit: Also I'm looking for 2 more limiting straps and air/hydro bumps if anybody knows of any
I've always run a turndown on the old dodge. I think it cuts down on the noise some, and if there were any smoke, it's sends it down and spreads it out, making it seem like less than when it is billowing out a side exit. Funny thing, old Edge stuff could since boost and not add fuel until there was enough air, doesn't seem new stuff can do that.
Also, on this website, it says they must be run body side up. Yours are mounted shaft side up. What that means I have no idea but maybe it has something to do with why one of them doesn't work.

I was asking just encase some had some laying aroundQuote:

Well the sheet metal started coming off and the 37's fit :gigem:

closeup of what you trimmed and how you trimmed it?
Cut off wheel to the bottom corner of the front fenders, I'll get have to get a picture later.Quote:

Chops does all of A&M's alignments so either they're good or someone is getting kickbacks.
You and Evan should get a poser shot together. It would be soooo cute!
is it just a 1" lift?
The front springs are listed as 3 inch over stock with a factory bumper and the rear springs are listed as 1 inch over stock (no blocks).Quote:

I plan on running these HID bulbs in some Hella 500's in place of the factory fog lights but I have two questions. What is the dual in dual out harness ($12.50)? Also I'm thinking of using the error corrector, which is basically just a resistor to trick the computer into believing a regular 55 watt bulb is in place, but is it necessary if I use the 55 watt HIDs? I wouldn't think so but it seems a lot of people have problem running HIDs through he factory cpu.
Would it be possible to run 4 lights off the two factory fog lights? In example taking a power wire from the fog lights to turn a relay on and having the other 2 HIDs powered straight from the battery through the relay.
this is the kit:

edit: I'll be ordering the H3 bulbs
If Sam ever brings his JD2 bender down could 2 inch .175 wall tubing be bent using the manual pull arm? Or any Houstonians want to help me bend a couple pieces of tubing?
If you do not want to go through all that, I remember back in the day when I had the cheapo Hella 500s. I replaced the 55w bulb with a 100w bulb. Good differenece for cheap and no extra wiring.
Have you adjusted yoru headlights yet? Or are you that guy?
Looks good, I like the wheels.
Head lights point to the ground nicely, I know that was tough for you to say but thanks :gigem::flipoff2:Quote:
