Cool I'm putting you to work though . So wear crappy clothes

 

Got it. I pay'd prettttttty good attention last time. I just feel bad for the truck I work on

 

Ok great thanks. I'll be there too. I have to work on Saturday but should be done by like 11 am and will stop right over. Should have my duratracs on too. Tire rack has a good deal so I'm buying them tonight. Load c . Gonna be 12 lbs lighter then the tires I have now haha. Bring back some Mpgs lol

 

We'll have AJ work on the back. Its harder to screw up on that. LOL

 

I thought you already painted your taillights Miguel ?

 

I'll probably struggle. Im a hands on kind of guy... Ill work through it haha

 

Anyone have/had/driven a spacer lift kit? How bad of a ride is it really???

 

Theres a chip on one that he wants to fix I believe. ANDD he wants to help me out. Im not much of a painter, always drips on me haha

 

I'm assuming you're referring to top plate spacers. Depending on the height of the spacer, it's not usually the ride I'd be concerned with. All you're doing is moving the stock set-up down with a piece of billet aluminum or steel. The issue is the front shock being able to bottom out before the bump stop hits, it's even more of an issue if you off road. The shock isn't meant to take that kind of shock and, when it does, can lead to a broken shock.

I can't make this I have a wedding that day but I figured some of you guys might want to check it out.

 

Missed you guys.

I'm in JFK bound for the Cape this morning.

 

Thanks for the info. I didnt know it was that bad for the struts, thought it just made the ride real real bad

 

It can be bad for the struts, for the daily driver, you could run them for the life of the vehicle and never have an issue. If you actually do off road, I wouldn't recommend them just from a function standpoint.

And yes, I've heard they don't ride all that great but no personal experience.

 

Putting the wheeler's aal 3pk and Icon rear resi's in tomorrow. Just Pb'ed everything. Wondering about the bumpstop. How does it come off ? How is it mounted ? I did my homework but looking at it, I forgot the bumpstops. I dont see fasteners. Feel like a dumbass. Seems like the first thing to remove. Also, anybody know a welder or shop thats pretty local that will do a cab mount chop ? I think i can handle the trimming but need someone to weld on the new material etc. What do you think it will cost? Any input would be great. I'm gonna do this right. I'm thinkin 285's.

 

Rear bump stops are help on by the U-bolts. Wish I could help you on the other things, but I don't know many welders...

 

Ok, i think i see what you mean. It looks like there's some rubber flaps in the pic under the u-bolts. So simple. I got this. Thanks dude.
