    i wanted the same preload on both sides instead of having to compensate with the tacolean. that’s just the info I was able to gather from this forum anyways.

    First 4x4 ever

    decided to do the “viper cut” on my front bumper. used a dremel and cleaned it up with some edge trim. I’ll be joining the DirtNation boys on a training clinic at Gold Mountain in Big Bear to learn some rock crawling techniques and figured I can use some extra clearance in front.
