Lol, it’s supposed to say M A X I fuse. Going to drop a 200a in there now
Censorship is certainly getting liberal.. Cant even say M@xi fuse without being censored..

Waiting for it to include man, woman, she, he, him, her.. And it will automatically replace it with it, they, them... :doublepuke::banghead:

Today, I finally got around to a major suspension, brake upgrade, and differential swap (with the help of my son-in-law and another of his mechanics. In spite of major problems with the rearend sent to us by ATK (under a warranty claim), we accomplished a crazy amount of work in about 10 hours (thanks to a rear auto shop with lifts). Here's what we did:
Front of truck:
New UCA and LCA
All ball joints. tie rod ends. pitman and idler arms
Reman. steer gearbox
4-piston 2020 brake upgrade w/R1 Concept drilled and slotted rotors
R1 Concepts Optimum OEp brake pads
New SS brake lines
Atomic Fabrication Products Coilover kit with Viking coilovers

Rear of truck:
ATK rear unit swap
Bilstein 4600s
SS brake lines
Airlift coil bags and compressor
New R1 Concepts drilled and slotted rotors
New stock calipers and ceramic pads

So far it drives like a dream I once had. I'll be breaking in the rear diff. for a few days, so won't be able to do much performance testing. I'll post brake a performance review in the 2000-2006 section "4-Piston Big Brake Upgrade" section.

Wow. Impressive. I’m jealous of the coil over setup!!! If you don’t mind what did that cost you?? I have an itch for it. I really need to get off my butt and install my Moog upper and lower LCAs. My 2020 4 piston calipers are also collecting dust in the same corner of garage

love the blue on the calipers. What kind of prep if any did you do on them??? Maybe that will motivate me to install mine. Show some pics of the whole rig as well, lets see what they look like behind the wheels.

Ran across a same color hood. My buddy’s was a chalkboard. $50 and took the buffer to it; not perfect, but at least it’s shiny.Fixed his window regulator, tweeter and the other doors handle that broke off. How do raise the hood is front ? “New” hood is slightly lower than the fenders etc at the front.
