dirty deeds' deeds, done dirt CHEAP! and dirty vibes

You don't need all that fancy equipment.

 

There's actually no need for an impact beyond R&R of wheels when doing AAL.

 

What don't you need it for is a better question lol

 

You can always get one of those cheap harbor freight electric impacts. Worked good to break em loose.

 

Get an 18V Dewalt electric impact and toss air hoses in garbage can.

 

I'd prefer an impact on my u-bolts, personally.

 

Not on my radar....Did ubolt flip. Impact useless now

 

You shouldn't need them. Granted it is obviously easier. But if that's the only thing holding the lift up from getting done, roll Dem sleeves up Susan

 

Bottom line, just jack up the truck and get started. It won't lift itself. Won't be easy, but it won't be the worst thing you've ever done either. And once it's done you can relax and enjoy the fact you don't have to mess with it any more.

 

Finally got my cousin's BIL to respond! Got in the garage!
The impact gun made it so much easier. Didn't even scuff a knuckle

Factory shock studs snapped off (go figure), so had to monkey, literally, those loose. Monkey wrench on the shock's rod thingy and wrench on the nut itself. Done deal. Easy.
Also found out that the included center studs with the Deaver AAL are finer thread and strip way too easy.


Quick trip to O'Reilly's because Advance is a joke these days, and a couple Grade 8 3/8-16 2.5" bolts and lock nuts fixed them shits right up! Knocked the edges off the heads a little so they would go in their home proper like with the grinder. Install it all back together, knock some length (about 1/4" off the bolts) so bump stops fit again, and.... Wham! Bam! Thank ya ma'am! Easy!

 

U have the same wheels as chad?

 

DAMN! After going ham n turkey on my bushes, the trailer is filthy! They were hiding some dirt fo sho! That's another day though...

So, currently sitting at 23.25" in all four corners, center hub to fender. I know the rear will settle a bit, the front will not. And the rear bumper will bring the rear down a touch more too.

 

He wishes.

Nope, mine are factory option wheels with the "SR Package"

 

I think his are Texas edition wheels which could mean anything really

 

I have an antenna mount for free. The "mirror mount" style. Who wants it?

And front factory shock/spring assemblies with 42k miles, no clue on value, but we can go behind the shed and work it out

 

Are you soliciting dudes with used truck parts again? I'll tell you one more time, it's called "gay for pay," not "gay for parts."

 

Might be

 

@dirty deeds you have a link to jerry cans? Looking to mount 2 on the pack rack.

 

These are what I have, but currently sold out...

Should be able to find some though. The Scepter cans are the latest n greatest, but also come with that price too. Mine were about $25 each I think.
Check local surplus stores, I'm sure Cincy has more than my area
