    My wife and I both went at 60 also. Both are fortunate to have good pensions and I took my SS at 62. Haven't had to touch my deferred compensation yet at all. I think you'll find that the financial aspect of retirement is not as scary as one might think.

    Looks like I used them around April of 2021. Bummer to hear they’re not as easy now.

    Yep.

    Curious with whom you dealt with?
    I'll swing in as soon as I get back next week. Worse case, things have changed. WMass PC was started as a separate entity from norpin, to coat their product. But, that is their first priority. If they have time/room/etc, they were doing other stuff. But, it is done in batches.

    I used them that winter as well.

    I spoke to a guy in his mid 30's, Caucasian, short dirty blondish hair with glasses. I hope that was not the normal experience because of how close they are to me......I would love to utilize them. Did they do sandblasting in house for you?

    Yes they did. They had to frost the chrome to powder over it.

    I've only ever dealt with Luke? Older than me. Long hair. Easy going, and goes out of his way to ensure one is haply, expectations etc.

    I will shoot him an email later.

    I am thinking the same thing.
    It’s just that end date that hangs over everyone’s head that sucks and is all too real.

    I’m hoping to go at 50. There’s a strong potential. Might have to push to 55 or go to a part-time at 50. I’d rather take off 50-60 and then go back for 60-65 than wait until 62-3 and not go back.

    If we have kids, it becomes much weaker :rofl:

    Depends on what the occupation is. That’s how I look at it. Shuffling papers all day or busting your balls has a lot to do with it. For me it’s driving a semi. And the non stop flow of retards I witness every f;&$king night! I’m burnt out and I know it.

    What do you recommend for the rear end?

    I will bring beer too, and order pizza afterwards also.

    If you are going to do it, you have to recognize what type of driving you will be doing. If you will be doing we'll be doing some offroading, I would stay away from a block and just go with icon RXT's. They are modular and will have the ability to be taken apart and put back together 4 different types of lift left depending upon how much weight you are carrying at any given one time. blocks will work for a short while But eventually your regular oh yeah we Springs will wear out. If you are just keeping your truck a pavement princess, then blocks will be fine. Whatever you do, just don't get ARB Dakar Leaf Springs. If you do upgrade to new Leaf Springs, you will need to get bigger u bolts or A u bolt flip kit.

    I have the ability to do 3 to 4 lifts at a time in my driveway if you are up for the ride.
