    Springs- I have rough country 2.5" springs that I'm questioning changing. If I measure the rears from the front side they measure 9" which is only 1" of lift but from the rear they measure 10" which is 2" of lift. Which measurement do I use? The fronts measure 14" which is 2" of lift. I'm...

    Fuse 18 and 19

    Question for confirmation. It is my understanding that fuse 18 (15A unswitched) feeds the red/black wire and fuse 19 (20A switched aux) feeds the blue wire. If this is the case, why are the wires labeled 10A and 3A do not exceed?
