Possibly plasti dip my wheels

See that hose and clamp set in the above picture? Yeah, finally got around to doing that tonight. Will be nice to not have leaking transmission lines!

Placed an order for these tonight!

Bilstein 33-104652 Bilstein 5125 Series Shock Absorber x2
Bilstein 24-225793 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber x2

I chose the 5125's based off of the spreadsheet Matt put together and hope they work out well! I also chose to go with the 5100 adjustables for the front as the RR spacer lift doesn't quite sit level with the front being lower than the rear. The one thing I will have to measure is if I need to set them to the .75" setting or the 1.5" lift setting.

Also, after 7,000 miles I can definitely say that I made the correct choice in choosing the Goodyear MT/R's. These tires have performed flawlessly in wet/dry/snow/ and icy conditions, I couldn't ask for a better tire!

Congrats on your purchases, looking forward to seeing your rig progress like your 5.9, that was you right?

Awesome man... that'll definitely be an improvement over the stock dampers.

Id recommend getting some 7/16" washers for the rear shocks. They'll work better than 1/2" washers for clamping the bushing sleeves.

Yeah I think they'll help out a lot. The XK has seemed really top heavy and tippy lately...think the stock dampers are completely blown lol.

Got ya well still in for seeing these new adjustables up front, not sure how the rears are like the Fox shocks I had but it took 3 washers total each side
