^^^^ let me know if discount replaces those tires

 

going in this afternoon for them to see it..

it almost looks more like a sidewall failure vs a cut



guess it didn't like being at 19psi

 

thats bs man a tire should be able to do what we did no problem. they better replace it.

 

X2

 

Mike if your trying to say my gf doesn't let me do shit pssshhhh. I do what I want!!

 

It's a must do with an ARB, 285's, and 2.5 - 3" of lift. Had mine done last year and have never looked back. Lot's more room around the tire and I shed 2lbs. off the bumper.

 

Mine also is done a little differently than Eric's but still does the job
I was going to do it but the guy i got my from had already done it saved me a step !

 

Must be that little extra offset yall have with the after market wheels. My tires dont rub the bumper. I did just remove my swaybar so we'll see what happens when I get my springs adjusted correctly.

 

how are the springs coming along?

 

I spent an hour on the phone this morning trying to locate the spanner wrench I need to get the job done. No luck.
Yesterday I walked back and forth to NAPA about 4 times trying different spring compressors, (has to purchase them), to try to compress the springs on the shock body and get the preload collars adjusted down. I have come to the conclusion that there is not a spring compressor in this world that will work on 2.0 springs besides a wall mount unit. NAPA was definitely tired of me by about 2pm.

As is, the truck is pretty much undrivable, I had a hard enough time getting it out of the garage to the parking space without ripping a fender off.

At the end of all that I read on the receipt that there are no refunds on tools at Napa. I ended up with new spark plugs and a K&N filter cleaning kit instead. The guys a NAPA were tired of me but they were very helpful in a sense of not letting me leave mad because I was stuck with a tool I couldn't use.

 

Why didnt you just go to like a big O and have them compress them for you ? I know the one by me said that they would do it for 15 each.

 

Kodiak I don't like them older, they like me haha.

And yes Devin, you're lucky you have the dirt bike.

 

so now the questions is...when i get my tire replaced, what do i do about having 3 tires with wear on them and 1 new? i got them on in January 2011 and would have 5-6k on them...think the difference in mileage would make a huge difference? i'm hoping they will also replace my front tire that i shredded part of the tread on so i can have 2 new and 2 used, but don't know how well that will fly

 

you might get one

 

Let's look at it and I will let you know.

 

Mike I bought the bike and didn't tell her until it was in the garage. that's how its done haha.

 

sweet...maybe next mod day (if it ever goes down) we can take a look..

i'll be in moab this weekend but fairly free the other weekends

 

That would require tearing everything back apart and $15+ per side on top of already paying $50 to get the springs put on. I'll just wait for the correct tool to do it myself.
