lockrite 1620, yes.
didnt regear, no... when i recalculate my mileage accounting for the 2mph my odo is off, i actually am now (since driving like a little old lady) have been getting 17mpg
i drove the truck from rhode island (where we installed it) back here to boston... thats about 1 hr and 10 mins give or take and it was PERFECT on the highway. i can get the tires to chirp if i floor it with the wheels turned, but the only other thing i notice is some clicking when i reverse.

Lee I wonder if the 01 and 02's had just a slightly differant setup because I had to redrill new holes to relocate the tjm up an 1" for my BL also. It would not go up enough to cover that gap.
It was pretty easy though. slightly trimmed the frame mounting brackets and then drilled new holes in the bumper mounting plates. It fits perfect now.
Mod'd brackets
Cardboard pattern with the pieces I had to trim off.
I drilled new holes instead of slotting the original ones out. It is not adjustable now but it fits correctlyh and will not slip now.
Results with BL

yeah im gonna do the satoshi mod sooner than later. my goal to this point was to get her more offroad worthy... now that she's on big meats, up 3.5", locked and decently armed (except my poor rear bumper :pat: ) its time to look at things like that again!

ive chirped it around a couple corners, i just need to adjust to learn to give it next to no throttle on uphill sharp turns from a stop... which there are several of in my area on my way to work.
with windows up and music on, you cant tell its even there.
