    Yes. Hit a snag tonight though but got it ironed out. Only have to weld on the limit straps.

    I took a couple on my iPad I'll post in a second.

    No :anonymous: I keep forgetting to ask Matt. I was even on the phone tonight with him.

    He is a bit worried the 18" 700lb coils will be too stiff...

    Did they have a tag on it?
    And yeah, even with your pig I think 700 is too much. 18" 650 would have been my suggestion. Run it and see where it's at. I have a set of 16" 600 lbs if u wanna try as well.

    I'll stay at 18" for sure but yea will see what happens. I'm not sure Eibach makes a 18" 650. Paul's are 18" 600 and his sits pretty high. But hopefully they will break in.

    There was no tag on them.

    U can still try my 600's if you want. Will at least get ya a feel for it. But yeah I think 700's are too much. Don't have 2nd gen problems.

    Springs are springs. Doesn't have to be eibach. Any 3" spring "should" work.

    True. I'll see what happens. Gonna need to align it then go for a ride. I hope it's not too bad. Considering my rig is near 6000lbs for trips and my 620lbs suffered I was hoping 700s would be good. That and mike has 700lb Kings but they are 14"s.

    Hey do you have a photo on how you did your bumps too? Did you tap the lca or the truck??



    And some photos...

    ...too much shit to list.

    I used the factory threaded holes in the bottom of the frame. They are metric. I just re-tapped it with sae threads for my bumps and used red locktite. Never a problem

    edit
    I did have to shorten (grinder to the rubber) one of the bumps tho so they contact the LCA at the same time. Factory bumps are two different sizes.
    YRMV. Just cycle it with no spring in the coilovers.
