Installed new front rotors and pads today. All seems well except I get a clunk when I finally come to a stop. It feels almost identical to the 4x4 low engaging but obviously it's not. Not sure what is or if it will go away. Any ideas? Also mounted my brake controller today.

Tint looks good, what a difference in general appearance.

That was a one time deal. I don't think I will be getting another round.

They weren't really worried about leaving a mark with those stitches, were they? Maybe it's just been a while, but that is one hell of a messy stitch job.

Things that come to mind are sway bar bushings. These can clunk like that. Ball joints bad will clunk like that as well, or just need to lubricate the driveshaft slipjoint. All become more apparent when you get new smooth stopping rotors.

Oh, I know, they were all over the place with the stitch work. makes me think that they needed to ensure that the heal skin would not peal apart while healing...

Did you buy the mirrors from Super Duty Service and if you did what is the quality?
