Those are going to look good! Painting to match or leaving them black?

Basically I just heated in the oven (oven was barely on) and used a thin flat head to pry the plastic part off. Where the plastic meets the chrome oval is where you need to pry at

So I need to get my limit straps mounted, but I have a question.

I have the Superlift limit straps but I'm not sure where I'm going to mount them. I plan on using the lower coilover mount on the side of the LCA but I'm not sure where to go with the upper mount.

How vertical does the limit strap really need to be? I can probably make a custom mount behind the shock tower but it puts the strap at an angle.

The straps are 20"

Here is some pics. First is where I'm mounting the lower, the second is about where full droop would be for the upper mount

It was almost $400 tuned and shipped.

I love the options you have with it. I've been playing with the shift pressure, it helps a lot. He readjusted my shift points to compensate for the tires which is awesome, I hated the way it shifted before.

I haven't loaded the 87 performance tune, I might try it for a little, but I'll save the 93 performance for the Dunes

With my normally light foot my drive home today I saw 23 MPG, I won't be able to do that all the time, but now it's like driving it in stock form

How was a chip all that was available? You truck is two years old and Fred has been around for a while.
I also have tunes from Fred. 87 Eco, 91 performance and a 93 performance. They are noticable off-road.
