NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Dsm valved mine when I bought them.

 

I thought it involved changing shim stacks along with the pressurization? I am smart enough to know I don't have the knowledge to get compression and rebound correct, nor would it be a quick process to do all this.

 

I didn't know what to ask for, so it wouldn't have made a difference. I bought through Rebel, and they said the stock settings should work

 

I don't think Mule does.. might be wrong though. I'd just send them to DSM and tell them you want a softer ride between __ speed and __.

 

Anyone here have any suggestions for a reputable shop for re-gearing tacos?

 

ECGS built 3rd members.

 

Bumper on the way. Went with the aluminum.

 

Thanks.
I stopped by Auburn Offroad today but didn't pull the trigger. I was quoted $2400 installed front and back a couple weeks. Sounds reasonable, no?

 

You would change shim stacks. Im sure you could play with pressurization too but I would just change shim stacks and leave the pressure the same.

You can order shim stacks from DSM or other places. DSM you could call up, tell them what you want and have them send you the stacks you need. Shocks suck to have to ship.

An ok video (guy definitely knows what he is doing but his video skills are...subpar) on how to do it is here. Least to see what all is involved.

I don't know pricing, but members here have had mixed reviews on that shop. I've had excellent dealings with them, while @northwesttaco and @Greddy (?) have had horrific service.

 

Depends, do you want to add lockers? If you do its definitely the time to do it. I wouldn't go there as @AWilson013 and @GSPRunner didn't have a good experience. For gears and/or lockers get ECGS built 3rds and either install them yourself, or the only 2 shops i'd trust would be Mule or Just Differentials in Cashmere.

 

I just called around and I have the most amazing luck. is less than 2 miles from my house.

 

In terms of his reviews online seems pretty darn good. He refilled my shocks once but that was it, no large purchases. I'll see if I could get any feedbacks on here.
My plans to go 4.88s and I have a 6 speed on 315s. Thoughts?

 

Go 4.56 unless you want insanely high rpm's on the highway.

 

I'm sticking with the factory elocker.
Thanks man I'll give those two a call.

 

What I did thanks to your advice.... love them...

 

I'm running 4.56 with 33s and my mpg is just shit at 11.5 average. You go with 4.88 your gonna cry..

 

4.56 it is! Must be that bad.

 

He is a 6 speed manual though, so manual 4.56 is equivalent to auto 4.88.
