    I'd love to actually buy some wheels for my truck but that's an extra grand i just can't justify spending when I already have wheels that function lol. What are you running your coilovers at?

    You can use mine to test you if you want, but my wheels have 4.30 BS. So more cutting will be required for me, but I can run a 35" tire on this wheel too, if I decide to in the future.

    So when you 1st get the kit, you pull everything out for install. Then buy 887 and uca. so then you have to pull everything back out again. You have spent an extra $160 on coils. Same for the rear, you get an add-a-leaf then replace with leaf pack..now you have to pull it all back off and you have an $150 add-a-leaf. Thats $310 extra you have spent on replacing stuff. What I meant by doing it all at once is install everything at once, if you can't purchase the whole kit at once then yes piece it together but wait until you get it ALL right the 1st time. My personal opinion though and what I've learned in the past. It saves you money and time.

    I see what you are saying. I figured I could sell the coils on here and the add-a-leaf that comes with that kits isn't that much. You are being logical. however, I am just wanting to get it lifted lol

    I saw a poll somewhere that they had Carol to die, plus they foreshadowed that daryl was "OK". So idk, if daryl dies I'm done watching the show. haha It's going to be intense either way.

    Do not follow my lead of buy like 6 times and then finally end up with what you want... kind of.

    Although doing and redoing the suspension so many times I can pretty much swap out front suspension in about an hour or less if just coilovers. From the time the jack to chest the truck to the tires being back on the ground... so yeah that's not really something to be proud of.

    I'm the exactly the same way. The advice I was given was buy what you want first so you aren't wishing for something else.

    Yea man, I feel Daryl and Glen have a pretty large following, those two might be untouchable. What do you think of Rick's new girl :anonymous:

    Creepy....wasnt expecting that at all. Rick has the kiss of death so she is bound too get killed. Heck for all we know there can be more than one killed Sunday. They have a few people held captive now.

    Forget the add-a-leaf. Go with the AllPro expedition springs to start with, especially if you ever intend to load the truck down for camping, etc. Already made that mistake and corrected it.

    I love the walking dead! Cannot wait for the season finale. Also, I misunderstood Justin earlier and thought he meant buy it all at once hahaha. It makes way more sense to be patient and get all the right pieces first but buy them as you can and do one install.

    Is it bad to take it apart more than once? I like working on the truck, I wouldn't mind installing multiple times unless it would weaken something?

    Not to my knowledge. Good experience I guess. I enjoy it too, unless it's a really sucky job haha.

    Doesn't hurt anything. Just costs more money to do it multiple times.

    I also enjoy working in suspension. That's why I didn't go straight to a mid travel system.
