WTF??? Lucky not on the highway!
I had just gotten off the highway less than a minute prior to this. My 25 minute highway commute (one-way) could have taken a dreadful turn if this had occurred 75 seconds earlier when I was merging in front of a big rig to take my exit.

Y'all can say what y'all wanna say, but its stuff like this why I never leave home without praying with/over my family.

Got out and saw.....

was having a dejavu moment so had to look it up.
second member with a puck lift this year that has had their uca's fail, I almost went with the motofab lift myself - went with belltech struts instead but didn't upgrade uca's I think I will go ahead now, better safe than risk it

Yeah, I'm wondering if it'd the level that killed it.

Where do yall get the reinforced upper control arms? I doubt the dealership is gonna warranty this and I would rather not put the stock arms back on.
now days we have more options
ksp and Rc are the most economical in the $300 range
then skyjacker and rancho $400 range
JBA which I have use in the pass and really like but are @ $650
other options zone, core 4x4, ready lift, maybe I miss some more expensive brands

No doubt God was riding shotgun with you! My homeboy JC always rides with me too. 🙏

yep, I've seen it too a couple times in last couple weeks. I don't have a Sirius subscription, never did, never used the free trial either. But my goodness did they ever bombard me with solicitations to sign up. They stopped eventually. Now it seems they're going to hit me up in the truck itself. Sheesh !

Was getting ready to leave Saturday morning and I noticed this bulge on the side of my front passenger tire. Our 2 hour drive would have ended badly. Took my wife's Pathfinder instead. Ended up going to Costco later that day to order a set of tires. Michelin Defenders LTX MS2 - $1395. I'm still on the OEM Goodyear with 29,088 miles. I was hoping it would last me another year. Hopefully the new tires comes in and get done before next Tuesday when I need the truck to drop off the parents at JFK airport.

Do you not have the full size spare with real tire? If not, might as well order five tires to make your spare actually useful.

Honestly I don't know. I've never looked at my spare tire underneath. If my truck came with 22" wheels, I doubt my spare is 22" as well.

The wheel itself wouldnt match, but would have a normal tire,.on 18" wheel, that matches the tires on your 22s. Some of the factory spare tires only come with a temporary use tire, and not a real tire that could be used for longer time.
