Alabama thread!

Yeah. That.

Fixed end should go in easily first then you wrangle the shackle end into place

 

The frame keeps moving. I just tried a prybar. I'm gonna need someone to pull the back part of the spring so it will fall in place. I can't get enough leverage at the front.

 

Ratchet strap.

 

Oh so you're on the Lincoln, Talladega side.

 

Pew pew

 

Shit, I didn't even think of that. Be right back

Sup Jonny

 

Sup Philly, just watchin' some football and enjoying the rainy day.

 

Something like that.

 

Didn't know you were that close to me.

 

Me neither. Guess I gotta move now.

I debadged the Tacoma. Now I’m waiting on those TPO bumper caps you told me about.

 

I'll try to go out and do that in a bit. I put the shackle end in first. I need to take a break. I'm frustrated

No go with that either.

I'm about to binge watch TV too


I'm gonna get these damn springs in at some point today. Just gonna step away and relax.

 

Looks good

 

The bumper caps make all the difference in the world to the look of your truck.

 

Ok, I went and took the shackle end out. The frame still keeps lifting. My neighbor is gonna help tomorrow since it's gonna rain ALL FUCKING DAY!!!!

 

Yea I had to use a ratchet strap to my slider to get it to line up

 

Ok try this have the trailer attached to your truck with the e-brake on as well. jack the trailer up so that there is more space between the frame and axle of trailer, make sure the wheels are chocked on the trailer. Then get the front in first and the hanger in second. That way you can use the jack to raise and lower the frame of the trailer as needed. I think your biggest battle right now is the stability of the trailer moving around a bunch.

This is how I install the leafs on a truck. Just undo the u-bolts and jack the truck off the axle.

 

I'll get it tomorrow qith the help of my neighbor. I took the shackle end out so I can get the front one put in first. The problem is the frame keeps lifting on me.

 

The trailer is just a frame. Nothing else. The axle is sitting in the back of my truck.

 

Ratchet strap under the leaf and put yourself on the trailer to hold it down. Work from above.

 

I personally don’t care if someone has the same bumper or something similar to mine. I really don’t. I was more irked for John who created a new design and was trying to get his foot out there and posted his design on a forum and a few months later Mobtown had their own rendition of the design. So more or less I was bummed for him. It wasn’t a year it was about 3 months after actually. But hey is what it is. Didn’t mean to offend the mobtown fan boys


the post John made with detailed pics of the bumper was on a Fabrication forum not TW. Just to clarify.
