New Level, Back Up Camera...Problems n Pics
1. Alright...Well I bought and installed that camera Rubberfrog got. Love it, only problem is MOUNTING it. Frog has a body lift, leaving alot of space to mount. I fabbed up an aluminum "L", cut some ABS and made this...Isn't finished, and I need your ideas. The spray from driving in rain covers the lens...what could I do to shed or block it that wouldnt look too bad?



2. I replaced my level. I paid a spring shop to put in a 3" spacer in the front. I also got a 1.5" block for the back. Due to the "talk up" and lack of comparison, I was happy. My girlfriend bought me 2" spacers, and I put them in. Not only did take and keep the old OEM piece, but the spacer he put in was less than 3/4"....almost stock! Needless to say, I am pissed. He is hell to deal with, so Im done with it. Huge difference, I love it.
I have 2" longer shocks, and when my wheel hits a hole there is a tremendous jolt. Have I maxed out sag? Also, My camber is down ridiculously. The top of the tire is almost 1" out. I don't think a regular alignment will fix this. When I am at full lock, my truck drops over an inch.


3. One more problem...I have a horrible parasitic draw on my battery. I have HID heads, HID fogs(the ones w/o a harness), FYI when these are on my radio is staticy. I have a 1600w amp w/2x12", LEDs in the dash, and the camera. I guess thats all the battery stuff...any idea where to start checking?

Your alternator probably can't keep up with the draw. You can pull it and take it to an alternator shop (I did this on my old Ranger) have them rewind the insides and you can boost the amps. Also, get a really good battery like an optima.
Take that L off the bumper and mount it on the hitch bar, slightly under the bumper. I get no spray at all in that position.
