    He didnt land on the tracks, but near them in after jumping off of the bridge. It was a really bad deal.

    Can anyone recommend a good suspension shop in the Kalispell area? I'm upgrading and looking for someone to install front and rear suspension.

    Thanks man, appreciate it. I'm not gonna be over there anytime soon unfortunately. I'm getting ADS front and rear, UCAs, and dakars. Ive done leafs before, just never done UCAs or the front and rear shocks.

    No problem. I’m sure you can find someone up there to help you out or find a good shop.

    Front shocks are super easy. Literally 4 bolts and that's it. Ucas can be tricky though.

    Bit if you can do leaf springs just read some write ups and you'll be good

    That's what I'm hoping, I ordered from Headstrong but they didn't have any recommendations for Montana so I thought I would ask here. Did you have any issues doing your install? I was gonna do it myself too, just wasn't sure what I'd be getting into. These seem bolt on for the most part, just have to get an alignment after I install right?

    Yes. Pressing out the stock upper ball joint is the biggest pain and pressing in the new adapter. Otherwise very straight forward. If you can swap leaf springs you're good.

    I dont mind doing it but im in Great Falls. I did my install. It's honestly not hard at all. The toughest part is the UCA bolt and its not that bad

    Thanks, I appreciate the offer. From the feedback I've got here I think I'm gonna do it. It doesn't seem that bad and I have the tools.
