asking for help of locals!!

I was wondering if someone or some guys could help me install the front 5100s on my truck? I don't have the tools or space to do this and even though I've read the write ups I'd still like to do it with someone who has done it before.

I'll bring the pizza and beer?

 

Dang. I know its a long shot but hopefully someone will be able to help me out. Theres a fletchers right behind my station that said they would install for 50 each side for me cause of where I work. I can go over and watch em do it but honestly I'd rather get hands on and learn to do it as well as meet some of the local TW guys here.

They said they'd do an alignment for me for 40 bucks since I work at the firehouse right next to them so I am going to do that for sure.

Thanks anyways tiotaco.

 

When were you looking to do them? If you come up next weekend here to PHX we are throwing Taylor's 2.5" Foxes on and his Add a leaf. Yours should be just as easy since taylor used to have 5100s

 

I don't have the tools, but I can help with the install.

 

This weekend. I get the rear spring TSB done tomorrow. I am back to "work" thursday for the last shift of the tour. If I don't have them install for a $100 then I might have to wait till next weekend. But the price of driving up and back down from PHX I might as well pay them to do it.

Thanks for the invite. Ill keep you posted.

 

i'm down to help you. I also live right by your station, and i have everything we need....unless we need a spring compressor

 

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude that would be sick. If I rent one from autozone, or someone else jumps in with one, could we set something up this weekend?

 

probly. gotta check with the rents first. but i'm pretty sure we could get a little mod day going if anyone else wants to work on something?

and if no one has a S/C then you can just rent one from autozone

 

Nice. I am down with a mini-mod day. It would be my first one. Let me know what the parents say.

 

will do.

ohh and btw, i thought you still had your 1st gen. until i drove by the station yesterday and saw that truck sitting out front.

 

Haha. Yeah man! I traded it in! Fucken Suhweeeeet!

Glad someone noticed it

 

i thought you moved or something cuz i never saw the green truck sitting out there!

what day would you want to do it on?

i'm pretty sure my new rear bumper will be here by then also....so i can do a mod also

 

Your new bumper? I thought you got the one thats installed in your sig?

Whatever day you want.

 

i got a CBI rear bumper to compliment the CBI front bumper

could you do friday?

 

A spring compressor is needed.

I've seen the autozone ones, I would not trust them to compress the springs.

 

did it come in?

 

Hey Andrew, if you do go through on this could ya post pics/guide on installation?

 

i know they are pretty sketchy, but idk of any other way that doesn't involve buying something.

no not yet

 

Oh got ya man. Gonna look sick. Yes.

I don't know where else to get one. Don't really know my other options and don't want to buy some for something I do once.

Yes. I am going to take a photo of my truck from the side with stock suspension, then with the rear spring TSB w/measurements, then with the fronts installed to 1.75. I will take photos of the process.

Check out this link I found that may help you out.

you could take the strut out and take it to a shop to have them just change over the springs. It is much safer that way. If you do do it your self just be very careful.
