    I just remember that my boss did it to his truck. I think he was high for a week afterwards from the fumes...of course he left the shell on his truck while he did the liner :rolleyes: dumbass...

    here you go Tony, the only shot I took of either of us all day! For the record, that trail was a lot steeper and scarier than it looks in the picture! But the trucks handled it just fine.

    I am far from to lazy< I just don't like the look or the texture of Herculiner. I have found Scorpion bed liners online that is almost the same texture as Line-x, a friend at work bought some so I will know how it works. Hopefully he gets off his lazy ass so I can see how it looks.

    I was hoping to get up to Fairy Lake this weekend, that's where I was a year ago. That was a fun, and messy, day. I expect this year to be the same.

    Can't work on your own truck so you're trying to prey on ours?

    Uh... Yes? I was more than happy to help you with yours if you remember correctly. If I could afford it, I would work on my truck every single day.

    So you want to pick up my truck tomorrow, take it to Big O in Bozeman and get the tires road forced, then go to Ressler and pick up some coolant and then flush out the truck for me? Could use a wash too. Oh, and the squeak has returned so that will need some attention too... :D Sound good? You're awesome, thanks!

    And I still need to get to work so while you're doing that can I borrow your truck?

    Hmm... This has got to be Mac A... As far as suspension goes, you can ditch that other thread and probably stay right here. I have done more suspension homework than I care to admit, and Lisa has what you are thinking of getting with the 5100s, but she got a full leaf pack which is the right way to do it. I am sure that the leaves on your truck are mighty tired. Lastly, stay away from RBP. Way overpriced for not near the quality. Whatever you choose is your choice no matter what anyone here thinks, but RBP is a no no for sure.

    Gah! you found us! I mean yea!

    Suspension work is fun, been through that ordeal myself recently. I will try to answer some of your questions or I would direct you to tacomaman06 (Will) or scocar (Bucky) they are both 1st gen suspension gurus.
    In short I would chime in and say that an AAL is useless when it comes to our saggy rear ends. It is like a bandaid on a severed limb. Not going to do you any good. You might buy yourself some time before replacing the leaf packs but will have a rougher ride to put up with once the AAL is in. I love my Bilsteins, suck it up and fork over the money for them, you will be happy you did.

    Threads that may be useful to you (please ignore the BS and harassing that occurs within)

    You still got the car or did you ditch it? We got your suspension solution here anyway, and we can definitely find you some good wheels.

    Don't act like I don't talk to you this way Lisa! Watch out, your jealousy is seeping out... Side note, I was lost today and found myself on Kennedy somehow. Saw the new toy, and a Buick with no tires on it?

    Did you have time to swipe the fender flares off of dad's Toy? He's not very observant most days, wouldn't even notice they were gone...

    And the Buick is his work car, can't take a foreign made vehicle to a union job site. I have no idea what he would be up to there.
