yeah I know, I just hate dealing with CV joints though. Something always goes wrong when I do

 

Yeah that’s the thing, I think I have everything except a floor jack and all of the install videos I’ve seen use one. I think I could do it if I had one. I suppose I could use the money that I’d pay the shop to do it and buy a jack lol. I’d probably need two or get some jack stands too.

 

This 1000%

 

Do you have a 2 car garage? The thought of wrenching in the rain isn't so appealing.

I agree about the bushing, might as well do it while everything is apart.

 

I just got my setup installed today at Trendsetters. I dont know what regular shop prices are, but i felt like it didnt cost me an arm and a leg.

 

I’ll check my spare when I get home

 

Not mine. Traded in with limited edition color SCS wheels

How much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking

 

If you have a couple jack stands (looks like your in for a trip to the auto parts store), you can use your jack that came with the truck. Last weekend I pulled my front coils off and used my factory jack. My floor jack, well lets just say was MIA.
Really the front is not that hard. A hammer/rubber mallet, two jack stands, floor jack, Couple sockets, open end wrenches and WD40/PB blaster. Hardest part is the upper control arm. That little bolt some times needs a little love from a mallet. Make sure to move your sway bar out of the way.
My guess is, any local shop will be at least $500 just for the front plus alignment.

The rear shocks can be replaced without even jacking up the truck or taking the tires off.

While you are at it, better order up the wheelers super bump stop kit plus ubolt flip kit.

 

I bet they asking at least 50k

 

With this talk of needing jacks and jack stands I’m gonna leave this here: I’m going tomorrow to pick up a new floor jack.

 

Yeah I'm actually considering doing it all myself haha. All of the YouTube video's I've seen so far have been super straight forward. It would be nice have a second set of eyes though. When you put it all back together, did you torque everything to spec? Where can I can find that info? Also, I know ill need an alignment afterwards, I'm sure it's ok for me to drive to the shop like that right? Will be taking it to a local leshwab where my brother in law works.

 

HELL YA. Thanks man

 

Sprint booster v3,
factor front recovery hook
front silver sky bumper
and some other shiet I pulled off the truck tonight up for sale. post pics in the morning tired af and my back hurts from the install

 

Is that a factor 55 front hook? Or did you mean to say factory recovery hook?

 

factory sorry typo

 

I don't remember how I got these. But I have two brand new never used Proto 1/2 torque wrenches, part number J6014C.
Thinking $150 apiece?





EDIT: Ignore my messy table and floor, kids are a wonderful thing.

 

PM inbound..

 

Damn, I JUST picked up a Snap-On 1/2" off of eBay. Ended up getting one that reads in in-lbs to save quite a bit of money, but would have loved to have yours, Proto makes really nice stuff. That's a great price

 

I'm a big fan of proto tools. I also really like the snap-on industrial brands, Williams, Bahco, CDI torque etc...
