i didnt remove move the axle nut, just get a long heavy duty pry bar and it will do the trick!

I love were that front res mounts. I have icons and dislike where mine mounts on the frame. You clearly have a longer hose than I do. Any plans for an aftermarket UCA? What did you do for the rear?

I bought off of eBay and paid $900. They were brand new. It’s a smoking deal I just happened to come across it.

yes the the hoses are extremely long. I do plan on a Uca, I just don’t have it in the budget right now. I also plan on getting king shocks for the rear, also not in the budget lol

Wow....that is such a great deal. Solid find for sure.

With the 35s do you plan to spread the crash bars or remove them? How much rubbing with any suspension flex? I have seen a few Fords from SDHQ in Arizona that are running Icon Stage 5 kits and 35x12.5 Toyos and I think they cut a significant amount off the front crash bars. On my set up I am running stock wheels and rubber but would like to move on to some aftermarket wheels. The 17s I am looking at have 6mm offset and I am looking at size 285/75r17 (33.86x11.26). I think I would need to stay away from 35s if I want to retain some suspension flex right and no rubbing...right?

Anyways truck looks great. I just love that color.

Im actually going to be changing these tires out. I’m getting too much road noise out of them. I’m thinking of getting a slightly smaller tire. I’m not wanting to have to remove or bend my crash bars. Possibly 34x11x17
