SOLD !!! [Bishop, CA] S.S.O. Slimline Hi Clearance Stage 2

That looks great Matt!
I got floor tile and grout down over the last 2-3 weeks. That was the last of the heavy stuff. Waiting on vanity, and have detail stuff to do.

Thank you for the offer!

Have you heard anything from DWP??

 

They are ok, problem I see is finding/calculating the weight you need to carry in front to make them soften up.
With the preload I have on them currently and when the spindle lift was on it, it sat at around 5 1/4 inch on the lift. Ride was stiff as shit. Added that fucked up bumper (I think around 185 lbs) and the ride was like a cloud, but broke the rack soon after, returned t stock the best I could to get a new rack under warranty, as there have been reports of early rack failures. Got told to pound sand, wasn't expecting them to fix it, but had to try.
Busted my shoulder and here we are 2.5 years later. Got the rack fixed, then the shocks blew a seal. Now @Superdave1.0 helped me get the replacement during rebuild reassembled, so now putting the lift back on can go forward.

 

Tags don't work in an edit, Dan.

 

I had to try.....

 

Well, there's just no pleasing you, is there?

This is why I don't associate with handsome people. So entitled.

 

5" of lift is quite a bit for these trucks.
I hope you get it dialed in to your liking! Lemmeknow if/how I can help.

 

Do, or do not. There is no try.

 

Perhaps I am just a bit too handsome. I never thought I would say that...

 

Well, I did the "do", but you didn't like it.

 

It's a prerunner. After the bumper, dropped it about .5 inches.
I plan to remove the preload except for the taco lean driver side.

 

I haven't heard anything at all. Probably because I don't have an application on file with them. In my dream world I get a job with DWP the old fashioned way. I hint, multiple times, to everyone I know that works for them. Then one day I get an application fast tracked through the system. Then I get hired. That's how it's worked for years so I don't want to upset the cart. lol

 

Sounds like you re detuning it just a bit.

 

The times have changed. The City makes new hires jump through hoops any more.

 

Need to get it set for a better ride with out the bank vault killer

 

You are pulling the bumper?

 

Last I heard, most positions required a minimum bachelor's degree

 

The bumper is already off. Remember.... returned to stock part.

 

OK, bumper too.

 

Or equivalent job experience for my trade. Your gonna find very, very few carpenters that have a BD. I've looked into it for DWP but that position doesn't come up often in Bishop. When it does they have hiring preference for employees already in LA. It's a tough gig to get. I might kill some time next week by actually getting an app into them though.

 

Somebody has had to have figured that out already. There are plenty of 3rd's with similar equipment.
