i just finished getting my daystar lift on tonight :BANANA: and obviously now i wanna go play. i could get in a little wheelin this weekend but i was wondering if wheeling after just getting the lift on is a bad idea? do i need to let the lift settle before i wheel the kk or would it be ok?

thanks everybody and sorry for the ignorance

Welcome to lost!

Don't be sorry as your question is not ignorant.

I just wouldn't go crazy. At least test drive it a little bit and take some speed bumps to make sure there aren't any noises and everything is good. If you have any doubts that you forgot to torque any bolts down properly, out in the middle if nowhere is not a good place to find out. Aside from that, take it out!!

Wheel it 'lightly' and check the hardware when you get back. Have fun.

i'd drive it and put a few miles on it before I would wheel it.
