I laughed my ass off for a solid 15 minutes.

 

Hey all. I was wondering if any of you have a favorite jack stand that you use and why? Or, do you just go with whatever is on sale at Harbor Freight?

 

After taking back my HF stands, I bought a set of these with safety pins... Amazon warehouse ended up being a new set for less than HF.

I was actually looking at these! You’re happy with them?

 

Yep. I don’t think about them, which means they are good.

 

Agreed! Thanks again!

 

That's the nice thing about the harbor freight ones, don't have to think about them and then bam you never have to think again...

 

I've never seen this style of safety pin but I like it

 

agreed

 

Anybody know of a decent place to get a suspension kit installed around the front range area? I thought about doing it myself but I'm not sure I have the knowledge to get it done in a day with out losing the 10mm socket a dozen times haha!

I appreciate you all, John.

 

Yes, Tru Automotive in Denver. I'm brought my kit in and I'm really happy with the experience.

 

I appreciate it man. What did the cost of the installation run ya? Also did you buy it from them or on your own? The issue I'm running into is a lot of shops don't want to install my parts because I didn't buy it from them directly.

 

Ah sorry man, I read that wrong! I'll definitely look into them. I'm glad a shop around here is willing to install customer brought parts.

 

No problem! I had them install everything about one year ago, so I don't want to quote you any fees or anything. As you know, a lot has changed in the last year. I can tell you this, they gave me the most competitive quote out of everyone and they were a pleasure to do business with.

I'd just give them a call and ask for Colter (super nice and helpful) and tell him that you have your own parts. It wasn't an issue when I booked my install, but if anything has changed I can assure you that they won't get salty just because you asked to bring in your own part.

 

I just ordered a set. Thank you for the suggestion.

 

Added a set to my Christmas list
