Group Buy: APRIL 22 DEADLINE Wheelers Offroad 1st Gen Leaf Replacement

I will most likely be last. Still waiting on our slab to be poured and that could be a while.

 

Settle down, Beavis.

Hey, so your sig says OME 881s and Billy 5100s. Are they already on, or is that part of the shipment and the only thing you can mod right now is your sig?

I'm gonna have to order some coils, and I want only enough lift to sit level with the back with the new leaf pack. Now that I realize how screwed my coils are, I do not want to use much, if any, of the Billie lift. I was thinking 880s (which are 1.25 to 1.5 lift), but why did you choose 881s (which are 1.75 to 2)? My understanding is that they are the same spring rate, just the 881s are a bit taller. Did Dan say these would level it with the 5-pack better? Am I full of questions? Or what?

 

Ill be getting my wheels ordered next week, so whenever they get here , then its game on!

 

x2 here

 

WTF, I need to pour a slab to install these? Nobody told me that.

Actually, my driveway and garage are so narrow, I spent time positioning my truck to figure out if 1. I had enough room in the driveway to get both wheels off at the same time without moving the truck to do each side and 2. If I had enough room to close the garage door while the truck is up on stands if I get screwed in the middle of the job.



I do, but by about 1 ft on all sides. But man, what I would give for a 2-car garage.

 

My entire yard is dirt so it would not be fun, but still possible. It's bad enough doing oil changes in the dirt.

 

yes butt head, you have tons of questions.

I dont really know why I chose 881's....apparently i seen or read somewhere on here, and thats what persuaded me to choose those......

lmao.

 

oh yeah..

the only thing that has been delivered is the billies.

the rest will be here probably the first of next week. I just felt like changing my sig early.

i cheated, i know.

 

Mine haven't shipped yet, ran into a slight problem with my card.. (#$&*ing work screwed me with the training I'm on this week), so I have to wait until after Friday to get my order shipped.

And to add to another part of the conversation, the 881s give a certain amount of lift new, then they do settle.. how much depends on the truck you have.. especially concerning weight up front. I.e. a truck like mine (double cab, V6, with eventually (probably) something like an ARB plate bumper going up front w/ winch... ) will make those 881s sag bad heh. Stock truck.. it'll still settle out, probably drop 1/2" after a few months.

 

Dan first told me that the group buy wiped him out of 5 leaf packs and that we were waiting on them to arrive. They just arrived today. Today Dan told me that I was also waiting on bushings that he ran out of.

I got frustrated with the delay and lack of communication and canceled my order. I'll take my business elsewhere. Good luck to all who got their goodies.

 

I'm sorry about your frustration and that it didn't work out for you. But thanks for doing your best to participate in the group buy.

 

Yes. Your leafs are just awful, and I can see that your truck has waht looks like negative rake. So yes, the lift numbers they provide are over stock, so youadd your sag to the lift numbers. Stunning, Isn't it?

 

Heads up!!!!
