    I talked to Dan last night, a few people have called in already but we have a few days next week to get things squared away. I'll be putting in my order on Monday most likely.

    Ok cool, I will too.
    I pm'd sonny at DSMS and he said he has no idea when he will be getting the 5100's. He does have the best prices + free shipping so Im going to get those through him when he gets them in. As for the coils, Wheelers may be a bit more expensive than trdparts4u but its easier to get everything from one place so... we'll see.

    that's what I was thinking too. And there's a better chance you'll get all of the necessary odd and ends to go along with the major parts. I called a few local places and had to laugh, they knew nothing about any of the things I was asking about! I thought I knew nothing to begin with but I was able to stump the local 4x4 "experts". Very sad...maybe my time here at TW has been useful after all.

    Doubt it would actually happen. Would be nice, but I won't push the issue since it's only costing me $390 for the springs anyway. :)

    OK, gang, I just got back from vacation and just sent Dan the list. Should be ready to rock Monday morning.

    :headbang::rockband::headbang:

    Refer to the instructions in blue on post #1 to place your order.

    I think I got everyone who posted before 4/22 midnight. Please check the master list on post #1 to make sure I didn't miss you.

    Some posts mentioned asking for 20% off because we got 20 people (actually, 19, because one is a double). I did not ask for this, because I had previously asked Dan if he could apply our discounts to an entire spring install kit (U-bolts, shackles, etc.) and he said he could not. So I am not pressing the issue. I think they are being as generous as they can. They are not Costco, afterall...

    Thanks to everyone who pitched in to keep this thing rolling and make it happen. What a marathon!
    :deadhorse:

    Special thanks to Tacomaman6 for sharing his pictures, support, and moderator capabilities! Thanks Will! :cheers:

    Hmm.. no pat on the back smiley.. well, sending one your way anyway. :D Thanks for the work. I'll probably be calling Dan around Wednesday, since it looks like I'm going to be stuck in places for work Monday/Tuesday where I won't get cell reception. :)
    :woot: springs! boing boing... snap... damnit, there goes the axle... :D

    Thank you. Is there a new deadline for when the orders have to be into Dan?

    Thanks again.

    You're welcome.

    Dan did not mention a deadline for placing orders. Most GBs I have seen only had a deadline for getting on the list, so I never mentioned it. If I hear otherwise, I'll alert everyone...

    Welcome, guys! I am just thrilled we were able to pull it off in the 11th hour, let alone at 15%!

    I haden't drvien my truck in about 12 days, and when I got in it yesterday, I thought, man, I'm sure glad this happened. I can't wait to get my rear end sorted out...so to speak...

    So, if I put on the 5-pack, and Daystar 1.25" shackles, will 5100s be all I need for the front? I 've read elsewhere not to use 5100s with aftermarket or lift coil springs.
