San Antonio

Umm morning? lol

 

4 day weekend pissed away being half sick. Oh well. Could’ve been worse being at work sick but still dragging.

 

Sorry about that, seemed a lot of people were sick the past few days...

 

Good score!

 

Should be done with my bed wiring today. I installed LED lights from @mattgecko. Ran the wiring to a 9V battery I had laying around to test them! Looks good.

Is he a doberman?

 

Yep

 

Thats what i thought! Beautiful pup!

 

Yes it was

 

Finally got them on the second try. @4xinnovations customer service was really lacking. The legs they sent were too short and after a few calls to them and couple hours of trying to get them to work we decided to make new legs. The sliders are very nice and built nice but the service sucked. Overall, I’m happy with the setup.

 

Trying to decide if I should keep or sell. I've got your old 886 springs and rear nitrochargers. Not sure which to go with now. A lot of [ conflicting] opinions out there but I haven't really found anything to sway me one way or the other.

 

Weld on?

 

I think those were 887 springs. Nitrochargers are good shocks, I think they are a better shock than the Bilstein 5100's.

 

Yes

 

Hmm, who welded em? And how much they charge you if you don't mind me asking.

 

Those springs are, in fact, 887's. If you're adding some weight to the front they should do you pretty good. A bit stiff for me until I got the steel bumper on but by then I had Kings waiting to install.

 

Ok, thanks for the correction. From what I've been reading, 887s (or 885) are preferred for 5100s anyway. Sounds like you didn't have any issues with the steel bumper. That's my other concern. Seems like people set the 5100s to 0 or the first notch. I'm curious how the combo would do with the added weight. But I'm also wondering if I could still compensate by adjusting the billies if the weight of the bumper caused it to sag too much

 

My buddy in San Marcos. I had to pay more bc of the new legs we needed. But I still didn’t pay what I should have bc he’s done work for me before. He said he would charge 3 hrs bc he didn’t have to paint. I was there helping him and they sent the legs too short. And @4xinnovations excuse was they didn’t fit after the pics we sent bc the square tubing they didn’t account for the body mount. It’s bs the round tube would have hit the body mount too. What it looks like is they used 2gen dimensions for the 3rd. I believe the body mount on the 2nd gen is cleaner looking and out of the way. Pics below are using supplied legs.
