TKGN1's build

I'm leaning towards a semi flat black, paint it to match the bumpers and (future)sliders.

Did you have the snap ring thats shown in the picture? Stock had one, but my kit didnt come with a replacement. The stock won't fit. I believe it goes on the spindle.

Those snap rings should already be installed with the uniballs. Just use the bolt and run it through your spindle.

I used the snap ring that was on the stock ball joint. My kit did not come with new snap rings. It is a little PITA to get the bushing into the spindle. If you have not started installing them yet I can ship ya the tool I made to install them, makes it 10 times easier.

Getting those snap rings on are the only thing left to do.

Gonna give another shot in the morning. Thanks for the help.

put the camper top on and took some pics.
I getto colored the camper top with photobucket in black to see what it will look like. My plans are to go with a more semi flat black rather than gloss.
I don't think I can color match the truck, so I feel my next best option is black.
I told Rob as many people that are building runners, I figured the camper top might get me to "fit in" with the crowd. LOL

Frack me..
You know you want to be a runner.. :) Top will look much better in black, I don't think it will clash because of all the black armor/bumpers you have on. Have you done the sliders yet??

Ha, yea, those runners are awsome!!
The topper, bumpers, and sliders will all be painted the same color.
I got the material in for the sliders and I have started on those, just haven't had time to finish them. October is hella busy, I hope to get them done this year!

Where did you get your spacer for your front end? I just have the 5100's set all the way up, and I need a little more room. My adjustments are 0, 1.25, and 2.5. Sucks. I thought the middle was gonna be 1.75. I had a spacer to give me an inch of lift. I just need about 1/2"

Well, I made the spacers that are on there right now, 3/4" thick. I have a set of 1/4" spacers that I pulled off the truck if you want to try those out.
Do you still have the stock springs up front?

Yes, still have the stock spring setup. 1/4" would probably do the trick, if you are willing to part with them. Let me know, and we can set something up.

Got my sliders built. Just need to get them painted (along with the bumpers and camper top) and weld them on.
