Looks great! How's it drive? Airbag rears not causing any bouncing?

Drives great. Was a little bouncy at first because I did not have the rear end links the same length. Fixed that last night and the ride is nice again. Using KW's recommended rebound/compression settings.

You have Recon? Is it still a PITA to get these days?

Yeah I have Recon. It's not nearly as much of a pain anymore. No longer need afidavits and the only thing they really care about now is lighting and ride height. It's also by appointment only now so the process is much quicker. In and out in less than 30 minutes. I made sure to get Recon as soon as my KW's were installed.

They did change safety checks though. Now it's electronic with ipads and pictures. You can no longer go to your buddy to pass. Shops have even stopped offering safety checks due to this. It also means that you have to get recon now too. Loose money...

I think Hawaii is great with their yearly safety checks. Where they verify a car is in proper order. Nothing out of the ordinary. horn, lights, tires; basica driveability stuff. I think all states should have this yearly check. Peoples headlights out, or brake/turn signals not working; is just lame. Or worse, people with lifted trucks that NEVER adjust their headlights down.

But Recon is a different beast. Recon or Reconstruction permit, is for modified cars. lowered, lifted, larger wheels, exhaust mods. They all have to be checked out. In the past your alignment had to be within the last 30 or so days upon innspection, your wheels could only be +/- 2" from factory, headlights had to be a certain minimum from the ground, etc. It was a PITA. Sometimes arbitrary in their decision, and often totally inefficient. I'm glad to hear it's a smooth process. Still wont ever move back there though.
