this one?

That'd be her. Was she diving like an angry redhead on a mission for blood?! also a giveaway

 

Yeah that would make sense but I have no idea on the fuse rating. Would have to look that up.

 

I tried looking at the eBay page you linked but didn’t see anything that spoke to it, any paperwork come with them?

 

Quick question before i get lift, tires and wheels manana... Do i need the diff drop for 5100's set at 2.5"? Tire size 275/65/18 not sure if that matters. Just trying to make sure I'm not missing anything beforehand. Thanks guys

 

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

 

No.

 

Just skip ahead to 5100s & OME coil combo.

 

Gotcha. Just making sure I'm not missing anything. Super stoked about it. Mud shall be flying this weekend

 

Def not a front diff drop, it's an overpriced paper weight. You may need the rear driveshaft center support bearing spacer from OME if you get take off vibes. Your alignment also needs to be somewhat specific as well to have good drivability. If you're not doing the install, do yourself a favor and stay clear of 4wheel parts. Let me know if you need any pro tips, I'm full of useless Taco knowledge.

 

Yeah definitely doing OME springs, just dont know which one yet because I'm indecisive on what front bumper I want. Really like the ARB but i know theyre heavy. Had them on a land cruiser and that thing was a tank.

 

Well i guess im screwed then lol already paid the deposit at 4wheel parts

I've relayed the camber/caster specs to those guys to make sure the alignment is spot on. I just didn't know where else to take it to get it done. I was going to do it myself and now I wish I would be doing it.

Whats the scoop of bad news on 4wheel parts?

 

Use the deposit for other things?

 

Cheater!!!!!!!!!!

 

True. Already got the wheels and tires ordered through them. Do they cut corners there?

 

Yes

 

Too late lol no cupcakes for @riz_atx

 

He only shared public information.

I imagine the quality of service has a lot to do with the quality of people (mechanic and management) you deal with. Are they honest and hardworking or crooked yahoos.
Sometimes there is no way of determining which you are dealing with.

 

4 Wheel Parts is a sister company of DSI, and both are owned by Polaris. As Don Ringler had DSI put the lift, wheels and tires on my new Tundra, 4 Wheel Parts did the work, and I have no big complaints. They allegedly did the speedo recal before I bought the truck, and again after I had the tires swapped out, but it was still 5mph off. I took it back due to a rattle in the front end, which turned out to be a loose light bar, and they fixed both items. I'm usually a guy that wants stuff done right the first time, but good luck with that these days. 4WP isn't perfect on Yelp, but they do have plenty of 5 stars.

 

Sounds like a fuse issue as well. Another thought was if you are running ballasts with the aftermarket headlights (aka HID's). Perhaps check those especially if you don't have any blown fuses?

I had a set of ballasts go out simultaneously in my VW R32 on the way home one night. Thank goodness it has fog light projectors built into the headlights so I could safely drive home and not draw attention from the police.

 

I fully agree and feel like the guy i dealt with (randall) has been upfront and honest. He was willing to price match everything I found online (even though they were already cheapest on most things including wheels/tires). They have a discount code with bilstein and that undercut wheelers and headstrong. Got 3 other quotes on labor costs and they priced matched that too. I spoke to wheelers multiple times and I was never given a 100% clear answer on some of my questions and i guess thats why i ordered through 4wheel parts.
