1. it took me 5 hours, by myself with only a handfull of shitty hand tools to put the Lakewoods on. (Doesn't help that I couldn't follow everyone elses 'lakewood set up' due to being 2 inches lower than the normal drop.)
2. My second set of Airbags (Airlift) don't appear to work either. THe bag braket hits the Lakewoods so it won't mount right. The upper braket is needing to extend 1.5 inches above the frame for mounting. Atleast these I can send back to Summit
3. Whoever designed the bolts for the Lakewoods needs to be shot. My right arm is KILLING me from mounting and dismounting 4 times on the right side and 3 times on the left to get the shimming right. Note from me, if you don't have air toold be prepared to be pissed and tired.
4. I took it for a drive and HOLY SHIT I shoulda done this a long time back. The 'issues' I thought I had with the FTVB are 100% gone with these bars. The ride is rough but the shifts are fantastic.
5. My pinion seal is leaking, pretty well
I don't think I'll do that so I need to find a shop.
6.I'm hitting my swaybar. I'm not bottoming out the shocks, not hitting the bumpstops, I'm hitting my swaybar on the metal pieces above the rear where the bar mounts.
7 Who ever designed the nuts for the sway bar needs to line up next to the guy from Lakewood. WTF? the bolt is 2 different sizes? 11/16 and something between 3/4 but no socket fits the top bolt. I got it loose but that's it I can't get it off so I can't drill the holes up higher. I'm going to look for shorter ends and at somepoint drill the holes higher.
Now a question for the Lakewood users. I had to cut 2 'nubbs' off the snubbers in order to be able to mount the Lakewoods. Right now the right is a hair shorter than 1/2 inch gap and the left is a hair shorter than 3/8ths. Can I trim off 1 more 'nubb' to open that gap up about another 1/8th to 1/4 inch and be fine? That would place the right a hair over 1/2 and the left a hair over 3/8th. If I slip in another shim the snubbers are about 3/8ths too much on both sides. Is it better to have too much gap? As my right is still as hell right now.
Right now I'm off to put back in the orginal Amazon tune to see if the low throttle shift points will work out for me. I hope so as my launch last night sucked due to it shifting at 10 mph (forced) from a dig.
