Yep, sticker + ads. If anybody is in the market for that I can put you in touch with a guy that will beat that price.

 

oh, nevermind then lol. I thought it was all that for 37k.

 

Me too, but I guess that prompts you to start a conversation with a salesman. Nice truck, but too rich for me.

 

37k for ALL that (OME lift, Icon wheels, ARB snorkel, line-x the whole car) is a STEAL lol. Quality parts, too. none of that silly spacer lift junk they charge 3k for.

 

Dealerships.......we're a sneaky bunch.

 

Was that before or after you were jumping up and down with your hands in the air?? haha

 

Yes Windows Movie Maker is pretty simple. And plenty of videos on youtube!

They do look slick! What rims are they??

 

I love it!... and then I saw the orange dash, seems way out of place. I guess we know what color it used to be.

 

The orange dash comes on colors besides inferno. I forget what the build sheet takes but I've seen them factory installed on black OR's before.

 

Anyone have a mil trailer? If so, what's a reasonable price for one in decent shape?

Who around DFW has installed a lift? Looking to put in a mild (885's most likely up front, progressive AAL in back) setup in probably 4-6 weeks down the road.

 

I've done Bilstein 5100 with Toytec Coils and a Deaver AAL. Didn't need a spring compressor because I used the floor jack method. I'd be down to help.

 

I'd be down to help also depending on the day. @Suprajim54 and some others on here helped with my 5100s.

 

Awesome, I'm going to have the coils assembled wherever I order from, so that's not an issue. Just want to get at least a couple sets of eyes and brains around who's gone through the process before. Last weekend's US OFF ROAD bumper install went smoothly enough without a 'been there done that' set of eyes, but being on the other side of it, I've learned enough I could certainly do another in about 2/3 the time.

 

Not sure how much extra the assembly is, but doing the floor jack method is not difficult at all. I reused the top hats and swapped shocks and springs.

 

Never done a lift on a truck but I have done coil overs on a civic 15+yrs ago. I might be able to come out and help depending on what my work schedule is like. Its looking like I may be working OT for 1-2 more months if i'm lucky. I may have to try and have you to assist with my slimline bumper in a couple of months whenever I get it. I'm guessing its going to be around the middle of april.

 

Piece of cake. If I'm not busy again the weekend you do it.

 

It's easy give us some time in advance knock it out in a few hours

 

I can find them between 500-800$ but me and some others have the debate all the time. They are heavy as shit, wrong bolt pattern, 24 volt, and some have pain in the ass brakes. Make your own you will be happier.
