o, and just to be clear the burn mark on the passenger side trim was already there right?  i didnt even see it till i was 100% done and moved to the other side of the truck!  after a moment of panic, i realized it was done by who ever welded in the sliders because it was no where near what i was doing, but close enough to make me think twice!   i bet we could find that at the JY


if the paint doesnt stick well to M4 seam sealer, i can fix that later if we can find the right stuff with 5 minutes and a wire wheel.  Everything i did was pretty cosmetic work, and the mounts were solid where they needed to be.

Mine drives fine as well aside from the fact that it drifts a bit to the right, but it's done that since I've had it.

Smike's ram pull ended up being wasted control arm bushings. At rest it measured true but under load the from axle went out of alignment. May be worth a look if you feel like chasing it.
