    Thanks, there were a few things I didn't get the opportunity to do prior to shooting the video, but it turned out good nonetheless.

    You're asking if the shackles go back too far without having cycled your leaf springs?

    Cycle it or you might have a bad time, too many variables to know from just a picture

    Or just wait till Sunday and demand someone else does it for you because that's apparently a thing nowadays

    Any tips on ordering rear glass from glassworks? I thought about telling him I'd give him an extra $100 when they ship and I could set up the shipping since I can get it cheaper anyways.

    The trick appears to be to not buy it directly from them, a lot of guys have commented that they order it through a dealer / shop and the shops have no trouble getting it and getting it quick too. I believe @tubbsisland has commented a few times that he has it in stock frequently at SDHQ.

    we won't even deal with them anymore. Fiberwerx is by far the most reliable company to deal with which is who we use 99.9% of the time.

    ...too much shit to list.
    G57 is a spring over pack. You're not going to get the uptravel you'll want for long travel.

    I'm running the same thing with 2.5" piping and bullet mufflers dumps just before the tank

    I had one missed call at 8 am and a message on face book saying "hey are you at the shop" Sunday to Wednesday is a week later? What was the issue that required all this hubbub?


    I totally understand shopping around. That doesn't bother me at all I constantly give quotes to people and don't hear back. This could have been handled in a more professional manner. The bottom line is I have a 2 week wait time for even the smallest projects so I really couldn't have done much for you out of the blue.


    Your a mad man!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:


    This is just rude.

    Nope

    Nope

    Thank you! I'm actually a one man show trying my best here man! I'm in charge of everything in the shop and all the paperwork that goes with it. My wife would help but she works two jobs currently and has just as much free time. We're trying to buy our second home by the time I'm 30. #goals




    Thanks Matt! :cheers:

    I'm just trying to produce the best parts I can for the trucks I love.



    Sorry for bringing this back up.


    Back to LT BS!!!
