NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yeah that makes more sense. If i was cutting a big ass hole into the side of my Taco for a snorkel I would want the closest thing to water for hydration purposes.

 

I was supervising, therefore I had the better beer

 

Currently I'm at home on my couch and I can still hear Bob banging away down there

 

My damn ditch light needs to come off and now I just realized the fender should come off too...

 

lol you think I'd still a 4.5" hole in my fender sober..

 

That is unfortunate!

 

Since this thread is for BS.... What would everyone do if they had to put a 6 in lift in the rear? My dealer replaced my leafs with new ones and they took off my AAL from Pro Comp and put a 4 inch block kit on.... now it sags..... I hate using blocks. is a custom leaf pack the only option? I heard go to Alcan but is there anything else out there for less? I DD this truck and I like to go on forest roads for camping and light trail use that is all.

 

Drill the light mounting hole off center in the light mount. Should have about 1" extra clearance

 

Izzat ur pool? I'm comin over!
Oh, nice holes too! My truck has to wait till next week.

 

I'm at a buddies right now. It's his.

 

Custom leaf pack for sure. Minimizes axle wrap compared to using blocks

 

is there anyone else other then alcan that does them?

 

Deaver is the only other company I know of that makes custom packs

 

do you know what most people prefer for ride quality and dependability? if im going to drop 800 dollars I want something that will last a hell of a long time lol

 

Custom giant ass shackle to give you the extra lift...
While that is a ridiculous option, you can get a longer shackle and that will give extra lift. IIRC extra length of shackle cut in half is extra height you will get.

OME is great for weight carrying, and seems to hold up well. Deaver I gave read on here in the past provides more flex than OME but is a bit softer of a ride. When I first put my OME on, I thought my truck rode pretty stiff. That was 2 years ago, but I am fine with the ride now.

 

Both are big names, I don't know anything specific on either except that Deaver makes springs for the SUA kits for our trucks, and that alcan is a common name for big truck leaf springs

 

I feel like going the custom pack route would be best for longevity

contacted both... whoever is less expensive with better customer service ill have to take a shot with them thanks for the help!

 

Done and plumbed. Fitting the piping inside the fender was a pita.

 

Only one ditch light now?
