Discount has rebates and American Tire Depot has buy 3 get 1 free...
There's also 10% off CBI bumpers 20% SOS Concepts and 33% off RRW which I'd say is worth a damn but meh.. whatev good luck I guess. Just trying to help you ladies out

 

Anyone (@crolison maybe) know which TPMS sensors 16" oval hole steel spare wheel use? I've read conflicting info.

 

Discount tire runs a deal via Ebay (TiresDirect) around Feb and through regular stores on Memorial Day and Labor Day.

 

Shipping is what is going to kill on the bumbers, y'all weren't too fond of the SOS bumper I asked about last week either.

I can't get tire Depot to populate a list when I enter 285/70/17. Just says "Invalid field" over and over.

I feel as if Discount tire inflated their prices for the sales too. Looked at some Cooper STT Pro's the other month at $234 a tire, now they are $264

Then wait for ther $100 off $400 sale and you can get all 2 then order another 2 for the full set.

 

@Littles hows the truck repair comming?

 

I know I asked about the SOS Concepts bumper but don't think I asked for opinions on the RRW.

Anyone have any? Or just it just go back to the construction factor like with SOS

 

It's started...I'll be on jack stands for about 2-3 weeks. I pulled the front end apart this weekend and dropped of the UCAs and coilovers with @TMFF to be rebuilt with 700lb springs and delta joints. I ordered a set of TC gusseted spindles from @glorifiedwelder which are shipping out this week.

I still don't know if I actually bent the new passenger side spindle you and I installed, or if threw something else out with my alignment. Cam tabs look as bad as they did last time, nothing looks spun around. I definitely bent my UCA bolt on the passenger side a little...so now I'm thinking about coil bucket gussets. I'll have to figure out how to measure the spindle against a known good one. If it's still good, I'll have a set of spares...which is probably good for me because I keep hitting shit.

And you'll be happy to hear I finally pulled my sway bar

 

What about hefty fab down in the springs?

 

Welcome. I lived in Billings too - long ago. Have family in Bozeman too. Hope the influx of people does not make you regret the move. Lots to do that is for sure.

 

Woo finally no sway bar! Maybe you’ll be able to do stuff without lockers now

Coil bucket gussits... ugh I proably could use them

 

The manager of Discount is going to "personally balance" the tires on my truck, we'll see how that goes lol

 

I'm not expecting that removing my sway bar will solve the problem of my lack of skill as a driver, but after watching @50 amocaT just walk up and down everything I used my lockers for during RT, I'm finally convinced to try it out.

What makes you think you need the coil bucket gussets? I always considered those to be for trucks with 35"+ tires and folks who jump their trucks.

 

The last 2 sets of tires I bought through discount they price matched online store prices I showed them that were drastically cheaper.

 

One of the last time @thefatkid was doing an alignment, he could get my numbers better wound require moving the uca ball joint inward but it’s at the max now and barly misses the coil when at full droop. So either at some point it’s gotten bent in slightly or needs to be bent outward so I can have better alignment #

 

I guess test drives are part of the manager special. Watched him rip down the block

 

Ok, cool so I seem to be on par. Which means I dont have to lighten my foot at all.

thanks

 

I noticed an increase in MPG after 10,000 miles, so maybe not . The increase is where I am now. Seems like we are both on par for the elevation though.

 

Nice, setup. I'm running stock tires, no lift and tube steps. Comparatively seems like I'm getting what I should. Thanks for the reply.

 

There are kits out there where you just have to entice Josh with Beer or whatever to Weld it together for you.

Saves both in Shipping and Purchase price as a kit.
