Alabama thread!

700. If you have heavy front bumper skids it will give you good lift without me ch preload on coil at all.

 

Also great if you are not running a sway bar. I really liked the 700s I had on mine.

 

That too,

Mornin fellas

 

One more day.

 

I may pick up an 8hr shift Thursday....got some plans I need extra monies for I have a chance to pick up an extra 3K in OT the month of Aug. I'd have to work an extra 8 shifts.....but I really leaning towards it right now.

 

That's the main downside to my job. I'm over-time exempt, so there's no way for me to make extra money without fitting in time for a second job.

 

Salary has it's advantages too. Our managers are on salary......and I know they don't spend 40hrs a week here

 

I usually end up working around 50 hours a week during the 9 months of the school year, with show periods averaging around 60ish. I do have one of the best department heads in the world though, so during the summer he makes sure I can get out of here on a reduced schedule to make up for that. It sure doesn't put extra $$$ in my pocket, but I at least it sort of balances itself out. I've thought about trying to track and log my hours, but I don't really want to know how bad I get screwed.

 

What's the saying....ignorance is bliss

 

What’s up Phil? Just working.

This bumper isn’t too bad got synthetic line, I was thinking about that regular cab may need lighter springs with the 4cyl.

 

You and me both

 

Remember im 4cyl as well and also have synthetic line. My bumper is light as well and only weighs 90lb. That being said i like it on road a lot because of what jeff said. It was a tiny bit rougher offroad but i was fine with it. If anything take those springs off and sell em an buy some 650's. PPl swapping spring rates on here all the time lol. Let me know id sell em to you for $850 if you wanted to swap out springs, but id try them as is first.

 

I figure that the lightest weight coils possible that hold the truck up and don’t go into coil bind are ideal. Add a sway bar for sway. I see merits to both, but a lighter weight coil will stuff easier on IFS. I’m running 500# 18” now but have a different leverage ratio being LT so it may be even lighter compared to reg travel? Don’t know. Shitload of body lean on the road with no sway haha

 

Sup Clay

 

I think for a all time off road rig that would be a no brainer lol. Have the lightest coil possible without preloading the coil over anymore. Another thing i liked was my coils had barley any preload. Kept things nice when slow speed stuff came around.

 

Sup Brian

I tohught I had quoted you earlier...my bad

 

Wide open around here, which I love haha sup?

 

working like a slave
