South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Ome 884s are good for ~2” of lift with the 5100s set at the bottom ring. And I’ve driven mine for over 30k without aftermarket ucas. Alignment is manageable.

@ahspurlock

Think I'm ready to adjust my front coilovers to get a little bit more lift. How much notice do you need and should
I order a spanner wrench for you to use?

 

I fished from the bank when I was down in SC last month when she had her interview. Didn’t weigh her but she was fat! Looking forward to learning the lakes and exploring down there. Now just gotta get a new boat!

 

That’s where it all begins. I was in your position last year and went 885s and an AAL and didn’t spend a whole lot more.

This is the route I’m going as soon as I can. @ahspurlock talked me out of Dakars at the Mod Day.

 

And I’m back at the doc

 

Oh hell, had to get out of the house!!!!

 

Clean enough for cars and coffee tomorrow or atleast till we get some more of that south cakalaki tree jizz.

 

Beautiful car!

 

Traffic is crazy today. Picked my daughter up from school and took 45 minutes to get home. Only 9.7 miles and usually takes 15 minutes. Carmageddon when traffic today.

 

I saw your post on this and I saw it on Netflix yesterday while looking for something to watch. Went to watch it just now but it's all in spanish! Such a bummer. I don't want to sit and read subtitles for 55 minutes for each episode lol

 

Just drive it don't worry about that pollen. Car looks really sweet!

 

Tryna hit up cars and coffee tomorrow. Still wish we had about 10 trucks Rollin deep up into the Michilin parking lot some Saturday.

 

Why no dakars? I was going to get dakar leafpack from HS.

 

Thanks!

 

^^^ Aside from the squeak.

 

Finally getting a break from the beach. Everyone is lobster tail red from the sun.

 

They don't really hold up to long term use, I've seen the carnage in @Sandman614 garage of Dakars. Deaver is a better but much more expensive choice for factory bolt on. @Blackout14 is selling springs now as well in 2 different load ratings less leafs but more arch. Jimbo said he was going to get a set. Dobinson is also starting to get into the country and has an interesting competing leaf pack as well. Dobinson is another Australian company and Joe's are made in USA at a local shop near him in PA.

 

Ah, yeah. I saw the ones Joe is promoting and that Jim was buying some.

 

Decent price and the Dobinsons seem to be just a little more than the dakars but claim an 880lb constant load carrying. They are also a low leaf count higher arch spring to get the lift. This is also kind of the downfall of the chevy leaf as they are somewhat of a flatter arch design so a lot of bump and you can get into a neg arch scenario but they can droop like crazy.

 

Is it a monthly thing? When’s the next?

Just hold weight better, softer ride, cheaper (can wear them out and just go buy another set for <$100), no squeaky, more droop/travel (if you set it up right). I’ll probably just switch to a little longer shock and not worry about shock relocation right now because I don’t need to 12in+ of travel.
