Alabama thread!

I’m not unhappy actually just know that the lift and larger tires have definitely mad a change in the truck that gears would fix. And it’s not the money I have plenty of money now but I’m a cautious person so all the things happening around the world and now with all the sport cancellations has me worried about what’s next? I can survive for 6 months or so no income no problem but then I’d be about broke.

 

I think it will be fine people are just scared because they haven't seen this before and the media is soaking it up to make a quick buck and spreading fear. It sucks that we have to live in a day and age were misinformed news is spread to people and they beilve it. I get all my information about the disease directly from the experts such as the CDC. The virus is def more harmful to the elderly than others but what virus isnt. The spread of it makes it seem like a horrible disease which it isnt good but not anywhere close to as bad as what the media is throwing out there. Just sucks that people are buying into this.

 

My 401k is taking a crap

 

Well definitely cancelling my order. I’ll order them when the panic settles. Just got some info on an email that I can’t speak about that helped me decide.

 

I’ve lost nearly 12k in the very recent past due to stocks tanking.

 

No worries. Just leave me be as they are. Not retiring any time soon and worst thing anyone can do right now is pull from 401k or trade off to a much lower risk group of funds. I still have ‘x amount’ of shares of each stock/bond so just leave em alone and eventually they’ll rise up in value again.

 

I'm perfectly happy with my truck as it sits now. No power loss as it still gets it when I mash the pedal and cruises in 6th gear all the way down I-59. The only other updates I'll do is, move up to a 265/70/17 size tire, u-bolt flip kit with bump stops and a rear standard plate bumper. Now, once I get the cosmetic damages repaired on my silver truck, the sky's the limit! Solid axle swap, gears, locked front and rear on 35s or 37s.

 

How not to jack up your car/truck.

 

Damn lol swap that bih

 

Well, I just ordered the Archive flip kit. I don't know if it really makes a difference, but they come with 9/16" u bolts compared to others' 1/2" u bolts.

 

Thanks to @Cred92 for selling me on it too!

 

Lol I was gonna agree everything Eric builds is heavy duty quality, and he even answered the couple questions I had no problem customer service like that means a lot to me.

 

I mainly went with them because the holes on their flip plate are closer together and hold the u bolts tighter against the leaf pack. Plus they use larger u bolts, if that matters at all.

 

I like to think them bigger and Grade 8 hardware is nice and makes a difference, the powder coat is nice too even though it’s under the truck.

 

it definitely looks like the best kit on the market

 

Grade 8 is a nice detail for sure. I'm going to coat them with black 3M rubberized undercoating before I install.

 

I had to trim mine down level with the super bump kinda tight quarters cutting those.

 

Any shifting of the u bolts that you have noticed?

 

Ouch, that sucks. Detours from Arab to Huntsville for a whole year - U.S. 231 near Huntsville to be closed for a year for repairs, ALDOT says
