    Tried installing my skids. The large majority of my bolts sheered off.

    Fucking pilot bit for the easy out broke off. Went and exchanged it. Drilled a hole. Went to use easy out. Drill won't spin it, no torque, so I go to use the handle, wrong size. Go to the store again and got a different handle. Came back it's just BARELY too big. Get the right size handle AND NOW I NEED A FUCKING EASY OUT TO GET MY EASY OUT OUT BECAUSE IT FUCKING SHEERED OFF!!!!! FUCK!

    So the consensus on diff drops are waste? But mine keep puking out the inner part. Ill get a better band/hose clamp but would the diff drop benefit me in this case?

    i might just do it, its cheap and my angles arent bad at all but i dont want to keep blowing grease everywhere. The other boots already have new clamps now is the inner clamps causing issues.

    Im real confused how others fron fender gap is so large and im literally maxed on suspension even with different coilovers. I really cant go much higher and i run 285s. I dont get it.

    Honestly it doesn't look bad at all. The gap is only noticeable in one place

    wtf am I supposed to use an air hammer for to remove sheered bolts?

    I have a diff drop kit sitting in my door waiting for me to install it.

    I've heard people say that diff drops for 4th gens is pointless but i went ahead and got one just to be safe. my CVs are just slightly angled and i've yet to break one or rip a clamp off.

    rear shocks took me literally 10 mins a side. You need some ratcheting wrenches.
