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

Any one in the dfw crew want a free harbor freight hitch d ring shackle mount? Never been used but stored in bed cubby

 

I'll take it

 

Sounds good, its all urs.

 

Let me know if you decide to do the 4x4 conversion, might have a good t case for you in a couple of months, would just need a new actuator on it.

 

Will do!

Just picked up the pelfrey rear, going to try and mount it today

 

Awesome! Did you get the one that was being sold in the sticky thread?

 

I put on my $100 Craigslist wheels today. They're 16x8's to replace the steelies so I can go for 285's next time.

 

Yup thats the one

Looks sweet @Suprajim54

 

I need help with my install of rear shock absorbers not fitting they say on the install instruction for a Ford f159 2wd rear but I don't know f that supposed to do that. Has anyone else encountered this issue. Also if I can't get this to work can I go with out shock absorbers till I can get the right ones

 

Bada bing

 

I ve seen this before.. i saw some other guys just smash out the mount to widen it.. wouldnt be my method but thats what they did.

Are they 5160s or 5100s

 

I had to beat the shit out of mine to widen them up to get the lower shock mount to go in.

 

Lip

what does this refer to? I looked at the serial number on the shocks and it doesn't match the number I have on my invoice or the website? I got them sort of in there and set it down and the frame mount is riding on the shock body they are too long. Like there is no play in the shock

 

The model, are they bilstein 5100 shocks or 5160 with the reservoirs?

I have 5100s and i dont recall the shock body touch anywhere. Hmm

 

I guess it's hard to explain how they are in there. The shocks are fully compressed when lower down on full weight. Maybe this are not the right ones

 

Also another question how do you adjust king coilovers. When I try the whole body moves not the collar?

 

That's awesome! Where did you get it at?

 

It appears those are the wrong shocks. Bilstein catalog (http://www.bilsteinus.com/uploads/tx_templavoila/Bil_OffRd_Cat2011_25.pdf) shows that part number fits a 97-03 F150 with 4-5" of lift.

 

Thank you sir, the tx classifieds sticky, its a pelfrey standard
