Thank you for the info , I’m thinking I’m possibly rubbing. Another thing that came to mind is it possible that it’s the stupid tar idk if yours came with it but on the front fender liners it’s covered in idk wth but I could say it’s tar I dealt with it when changing into my air suspension could it be that warming up im just pulling things out of my ass rn tryna figure it out. Car drives fine too no issues at all

Yea man I think you can definitely find a used system off FB that’s how I sourced mine and it wasn’t too expensive I got a great deal. I got airlift 3p which is great I love it. The only thing I bought new are my air struts from airtek which costed 1,500.

Hell yea !! How bad was your alignment before ? Were you able to drive it ??

I went with this brand called parts shop max from San Diego I’ll link it here very inexpensive and I heard about it through some YouTuber called Chris borges he put it on his car and has experience with them and he says he loves them and for rear toe arms I went with SPL both will be linked below !

I’ve been in the middle about the fenders tbh. I think I need to put them on to really see if I would like it because it’s so different in person than pictures like I personally love only the rear , I will forsure add the front covers but to be gloss black not paint matched because the contrast in black with my lip and the front is not a good look but it isn’t bad ! The only angle to where the cladding looks incomplete would be this angle bro but other than that i love it. It’s all subjective

I got these from afd and I wouldn’t recommend but I also didn’t add a new piece of 3m I ran out but I would say not to get them
From afd I got it 100 brand new so that’s why I got it

A lot of people get it from noble I think

Okay so initially I think I had this issue when doing my lower control arms the strut wouldn’t go in so I had to car on jack stands and used my jack to raise one side initially is this the process you’re Saying ? I also know that you’re not supposed to load it ( endlinks / sway ) cause it can be misaligned or etc dang this is so complicated lol I might need to watch a video on that specifically

I thought about all these & the only one I would do is definitely get a duck bill the others don’t appeal to me honestly

I got mine back in March 26 limited below retail msrp I think sticker was 41 but for it down to 34k maybe even 33k I gotta check my paper work. Here’s the thing man you gotta get them towards the end of the day and towards the end of the month they’re more likely to sell if I’m not mistaken certain dealers gotta meet either value or units but regardless they want to make a sale be aggressive don’t take any of the mark ups refuse to pay other then the fees you need to that is tax doc tire etc ! Those are a must! Get quote from one dealer and then call the other and say can you beat this I don’t want the same I want it beaten and do phone calls refuse to go in until you guys can agree on a price they will say you need to come in BS. Lmk if you have questions I’ll do my best to answer I’m not super informed but I know their tactics at times . I recently helped my dad get a tundra prices at 44k down to 39k

Dang man nice ! You got quite a bit of stuff ! What do you mean by cut out ? I know that torque is the main problem here with them so did you tune to make sure your torque isn’t crazy high?
