Yessir. I've got some things I gotta do with The fam before I can get out there and work.


Ok, just got in, front is 18 1/2" and the rear is 19" lets see what yours is.
I think my front is gonna a little higher than my rear.

Your talking about where the axle is leaking from the back just right before the boot and not the sway bushing right?

That's what I hoped wasn't causing the issue. I've read about how the new angle pops that axle out about 1/4 an inch and causing a wobble. There was a fix that I tried with no luck where you loosen the axle bolt and beat the axle back in there but it didn't move.

How's that snow storm?

Sucks you're having issues. I'm sure it's fixable though.

Ok so that did not go so well! Everything swapped over just fine with the exception Of The driver side end link in which I had to use my sawzall to cut the bolt off...now I have the horrible noises coming from my front end that make me nervous to even drive it... I think I am gonna have to take it somewhere... Lame!!!!

Here's some pics.

Driver side.

The only issue i see is the the end link bolt went on and is sticking out really far...much further than the other side. I'm not sure why or what's going on!

Kojack, I had a few Minutes today so I mocked this up for you. I noticed the mount was sideways after I took the pics and went inside, and the reason is the holes for the license plate are right in front of the metal bumper that's behind the fascia...so. I just pushed some bolts in the holes to hold it up. I will either have to use the plastic license plate mounts or bolt it up when I take the fascia off to do the tow hooks and grill. None the less here ya go man.

Rock on. So, I am confused. I have no licence plate mount now, Does it come with screws to go through the bumper into the metal behind? Looks good tho.

Thanks man! Nah it doesn't come with screws. I got bolts, washers, and lock nuts from lowes to attach it and I was just gonna bolt it to the fascia but the metal bumper is right behind it. I'm not sure about the 2nd gens but mine has two concave circles where the license plate should be. You can drill them out and buy those push in tabs that have screw holes so you can mount a license plate. Thats how I don't want to attach it lol, i'd be afraid that the light bar would be too heavy and work itself loose over time.
