    They don't come out. I know they are useless but they were on the truck when I bought it! haha They fold flat.
    I am trying to figure out the weight since I bought Heavy Duty Coils that give 2.5" lift after 200 extra pounds on the rear. Until I get my bumper, I will need something to keep my ass on the ground.

    Got my light bar in, looks good to me. Hopefully I can get it installed soon.

    Also got some 14x650 coils for free from a T4R member, to say they are rusty is an understatement haha. Going to soak them, strip them and paint them white to match the truck.

    Anyone know of the best way to remove the rust? I've read soaking them in certain solutions will remove some and then good old sandpaper.

    I think it will look pretty badass with my black Icon's. I'm tempted to make some coilover condoms though to protect the shafts and body, which would defeat the purpose of painting though.

    i notice Fox oxidize/pitt/rust more than others. My shafts on the Icons were rusty but that could have been my fault for not wiping them off.

    Yeah I had heard that as well. They weren't bad, but for only being 1.5 years only I wasn't stoked on the condition.

    How many of you guys have started a paypal dispute with a company? I bought some items from a site and what they sent me was everything the part number entails. Contacted them and they told me the missing part would not be shipped and isn't available through the part number on their site. I asked for a refund and they took weeks to finally send me a RMA to return the other items that are part of the order, but are trying to make me pay shipping back and a restocking fee. I've sent multiple emails (not to mention stating I will not pay return shipping or restocking fees) but they still won't respond. I'm over it and thinking of disputing it through Paypal just so I can get my $325 back finally after weeks of trying to return the parts.

    Paypal always has sided with the seller for me. I've been screwed many times by PayPal.

    Even when the part number associated with the order includes parts not shipped by the company? I feel that falls under the basis of being misleading.

    I'd use POR15 on them, then paint them whatever color you want. Wear gloves though, I found out the hard way that stuff doesn't come off your skin.
