Out in Southern Utah on vacation this week. In Moab today, halfway through the Mighty 5. Made sure to represent NPORA at Arches & Canyonlands while out here! Couldn't bring the Troutfinder all the way out here from GA, but man would I love to one day! Sent from my SM-J327P using Tapatalk

Got the 4-link brackets burned in and mocked up the shocks Cleaned up the 4 links

To add to@PathyDude17 I personally had AC Springs in the rear with the Bilstein 5100’s, and the ride quality was adequate but still quite stiff. After riding in all three pathfinders one after the other his was by far the best. I was very surprised because we’ve had many different kinds of trucks down on those trails and I’ve never witnessed a truck glide over those rough terrain sections as easily and smoothly as his. Also, after watching both lifted trucks perform identical lines between off camber sections his slightly extra length really helped maintain traction.

Midwest Meetup went well!

BR-41 in the '97 manual shows the circuit diagram. Looking at the diagram, it doesn't look like the ABS control unit could cause this problem if it wanted to. Its power supply is switched by the ignition, and its only other possible source of power is through the brake light switch. It controls the motor through a relay (looks like there are two relays in a unit right next to the ABS motor, there's a drawing of that on BR-40), which connects the motor to its own fused line off the battery. I'm guessing you pulled that 30A fuse link to stop the motor. Unplug the relay unit and check for continuity across the contacts of the motor relay. If you've got continuity through the motor relay, the contacts are welded together and the relay is toast.

Finally got a pic next to a stock one Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk

I'd be interested to see how much those LCA mounts actually shift around without a missing link. Make a collapsible missing link (one piece of conduit sleeved over another smaller one or something like that), rigid enough that it doesn't flop up and down but free to slide so it's not providing any actual bracing. Rig a Sharpie to one piece, with the tip resting against the other piece, and then take the truck out for a rip. If the mounts move relative to each other (movement the missing link would prevent), the Sharpie will draw a line the length of the total deflection. Then crawl back under and measure the length of the line. (Or mount a GoPro if you have one of those laying around for a better look at what's going on under varying circumstances, not just the max deflection.) That could make a compelling case for/against this mod.
