DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I don't have the stuff either, but I would be down for learning also. I just want to toss on some 5100s on the front, but again...no tools.

 

I can help with most of that and have a driveway, havent done brake lines before. Id also prefer someone or you bring a truck rated jack. I used my "racing" jack in a shifty fashion and dont want to do the same with someone elses truck. I have truck rated stands.

 

This sexy thing is finally ready. Tomorrow my truck goes under the knife.

 

Have read mixed opinions on the need for the extended brake line. Not sure if necessary, i dont do any heavy offroading, bought it just in case

 

Be careful changing 12 year old brake lines, brake lines are easy to damage with the wrong tools and 12 years of road wear won't help you out. But if you bought braided steel lines you will notice a major difference.

 

Pelfreybilt?

 

I've got tools of all kind, but no garage. As long as you have a driveway it's pretty easy. I did my full suspension alone with no IFS experience in about 8 hours. Couple of guys fucking around, 8 hours is doable.

 

Plenty of driveway space

 

I have a floor jack if thats what you're referring to

 

You will be good in the driveway I've got air impact and electric if you dont have a compressor. Ive got quite a few stands but not sure when your planning to do it

 

Oh? How so?

 

I mean, do they work better, etc?

 

Dont have compressor, my parts should arrive Monday/Tuesday, it will need to be on a weekend

 

Steel lines won't expand like rubber so your supposed to get a firmer pedal. I switched and my brakes are still spongy

 

I can help you but I'm busy the next few weekends.

 

I installed my lift by myself back in February. All 4- Bilstein 5100's, Toytec Coils, UCA's and Add a leaf in the back. I started on a Friday at 7pm and finished around 5am Saturday and got it aligned that morning. It took me about 10 hours to do but I didn't buy preassembled coils and reused the factory shock hats. I also spent way too much time getting the Add-a-Leaf in and everything lined up. The preassembled coils and replacing the whole leaf pack should be easier. It can certainly be done in an afternoon out in your driveway with a couple of guys. I'm in Las Colinas and free most weekends and would be willing to help. I've got an electric impact, breaker bars, jack stands and other tools if needed.

 

Yep

 

My coworkers and customers are trying my patience today.

 

Oooooo can i try too?????

 

I wont get fired for punching you in the nose. Fair warning.
