Please .. PLEASE recheck your nuts/bolts after you lift..

I thought it was a fluke that I lost a upper nut on my front shock. So I got another one and replaced it.

Then one day I started hearing a clunk from the back of the truck when I press the gas. The steering wheel was a tab bit off center too, and to top it off, the rear driver wheel was forward about 1-2 inches!!!



Little did I know one of my blocks popped off the pin and was on the open area in front of it. I brought it to the local lift place and had him go over all the nuts and bolts and he found a handfull had worked its way loose. 2 of them loose so that they could move with his hand. Scary stuff!


2-4 weeks after a install, please have a shop go over your truck to make sure nothing go loose!

wely is starting off with a positive reputation.
Did you use any lock tight on them? Maybe that would have helped?
