Just got the JXB single diff bushing support installed last night along with a Steeda 12.9 bolt. The Bushing insert slid right in with the supplied grease. Also installed the Steeda vertical link inserts.

Replaced the spark plugs last night. Not too bad of a job. All went well. Gave it one boost launch and the wheel hop was pretty rough. FenFab Toe Links are on the way now.

The Toe links, Vertical Links, and subframe links will eliminate most of the wheel hop.

I hope so, I’m still rocking the Cobb Stage 1 tune and she is hopping. Steeda Vertical Links are in. I’ll be working on the subframe inserts tonight. Maybe the Steeda front bushings for the diff if I have time.

Any input on getting a Granger Ford Extended warranty with what I’m doing? If I did the Basic for 75k/6yr that would cover me till 2028 for right over $1k.
