Wheelers "5-Leafspring" group buy???

some one gave you a neg peR..for saying you'd put ppl on the Blacklist?...wow..

 

Nice!! Im glad you guys got to 15. Again, sorry I did that but when the guy CALLED ME( I didnt call him) with the price he gave me I couldnt pass it up. $375 and no shipping. Im sure any of you wouldnt pass that up if your local guy called and gave you that price. It wasnt me who gave you neg rep oswego I got nothin against you, you're just doin your job.

 

Hmmm, at 15 we're getting 'em for 390... plus nearly all of us ordered a ton more stuff so the shipping is pretty spread out. And we helped out fellow forum members... so for 25-50$ i may have stayed in the GB, but that's just me. It's your wallet and i respect that.
Edit* remembered that you were getting JUST the leaf's...

 

Today is the official end of the Group Buy. We did make the 15!!
Parts will begin shipping out Monday.

P.S. - Since you guys are talking about Rep points...........

 

Actually, if I had already committed to a group buy that would not only help me out, but others as well, I would have stayed in the group buy. But that's just me I guess.

Sweetness!!!

 

Thanks so much Dan!

 

Awesome. Good job holding it together despite the odds and obstacles, people.

And Dan, uh, not ure how to break this, but we can't talk about rep.

So, uh, after you finish processing the GB, you may have to be banned, along with everyone else in this thread...













j/k

 

well that was an exciting group buy! glad you guys made it though.

 

Who called whom is not important, and please don't assume that because your word is worth less than $100, the same is true for the rest of us. As has already been expressed by others, a commitment is a commitment. Short of some kind of catastrophe, I honor mine...

 

Actually I got the leafs and the frame bushing things and thats is the price installed . Apparently he had someone order and pay for it all and then decide to go a different route and had it sitting around so thats when he thought of me. So yes it was a deal I couldnt pass up. SRD you're entitled to your opinion but Im sure you would have done it if you were in my shoes or at least thought hard about it. I dont really care what you or any of the others say or think about it. Some of us dont have a whole lot of money to spend right now so when I could save that much Im gonna do it.

 

BOOOO YAA!!!!!


and now we are per is completely differant...duh haha

 

Thank you for all your patience Dan, I know that this group is quite the handful.

Thanks everyone for following through and helping get this all sorted out (except for those schmucks who ditched us for a buck...)

Anyways, I'm looking forward to this next week. Does anyone have a good writeup on how to install the leaf packs or do I have to dig out the Chilton's?

 

I 2nd the Schmucks comment.
I was just gonna start with a floor Jack, my neighbor, and a few Golden Amber Beverages and see what happens.
Yes, I have great health Ins.

Thanks to YotaDan for giving us extra time, and letting others in.

 

OK, listen up all you derpa-derps.

Several very helpful install links are at the ready for you here:

I really hope that you folks checked out your main eye bolts (front leaf bolt) to see if they are rusted/seized. This is very common. It is cheap insurance to order them from Dan so you have them on hand whether you end up needing them or not. Not easy to find the right size locally, and you could be stuck without them. May require sawzall or angle grinder to get them off on high-mileage/rust-belt trucks.

Got PB Blaster?

You can also download the FSM from this site. I've attached the component diagram, which has all torque specs. Note the rear shackles; it is a bracket assembly, not individual bolts...

Have fun!

 

found that out the hard way

Also my truck doesn't have a spec of rust on it and one of my main eye bolts was almost seized in there. I had to press it out with some channel locks because the gas tank is in the way to hammer it.
Just a heads up...

 

I've started PB Blasting all the hardware allready. Been toying with the idea of removing the nuts from the Main Eye Bolts and hosing the interior down with PB Blaster. I haven't done that yet for fear of shearing off one of the bolts and not having the hardware to replace it with.
Can't hardly wait for the parts to ship. I'm so excited!!!!!

 

Thanks Dan for letting me fill a spot that was vacated (way after the ending date)! I can't wait to get the new suspension installed.As for rust,15 years in Ohio the bottom is covered with it.(But not in the frame)LOL. Just need to pick up a case or two of PB Blaser and maybe a plasma cutter! Seriously Dan and Wheelers are top shelf,and I would happily do business with them again!

 

^^^^^ Heed this gentlemen. Very good advice.

 

I doubt you would have a problem getting the nut off, its getting the bolt out of the old leaf springs thats the problem.

 

Dan says they are on the way... can't wait.
