Good/Bad Idea: Install Lift Before Long Trip
Hey Everyone,
I finally pulled the trigger on the ToyTec Boss Aluma Series 2.0 with UCA's and all the components finally arrive 3 days before a winter trip up north from TX to CO.
Everything can get installed that same day; and I'm currently scheduled to do so.
Is there a break-in period I should be keeping in mind, or is there a typical period that shows any potential issues with the install?
I'd love to really put the suspension through the paces, but don't want to get "stranded".
Of course, it'll come down to how much I trust the shop helping me out with the install, but would appreciate hearing some thoughts!
Best,
Tomas

I don't see any issues with it as long as everything is installed/torqued correctly and an alignment is completed. I don't think I've ever read about suspension needing "break-in".
If you did have any issues with noises, it should be noticed soon after install, maybe on the ride home.

No break-in required. The real question is ... is "vacation" travel in the path of civilization, or or you headed out into the badlands ? If the latter, the next question would be if you travel with tools in case something were to need tightening given metric rocks are hard to find here in the states For me, I would want to put at least 1-week of mileage with mixed driving before heading out.

This wasn't the first trip I was looking to do with the new setup, but since the timing came together- figured hell yeah.
