    Full coilovers? those can be done pretty quick. It usually doing springs & shocks that require compressing that makes it hard. Coilovers we could do in a parking lot. lol There may be a mod day in the not to distant future.

    Yea assembled with trim packer and bushings. I have the top plate spacers too. I don't have the rear shocks yet so it would just be the add a leaf in the rear. I got the add a leafs from buddy, but they didn't come with longer center pins. Is that gonna be a problem?

    hmm got a picture of what you have? Not sure about the center pins, I swapped the entire leaf pack when I did the rears. Hopefully someone else can chime in.


    On a side note, 6 More days until the meet!

    I recall reading something about needing a longer pin. But I cannot remember where.

    Maybe someone local could help you with the CO install?;)

    Thinking about just buying a new leaf pack to get the ass end up high enough. Don't have the cash readily available, but maybe I can make it work. I would definitely appreciate any help. I did a little suspension work on my Jeep before it got stolen, but not enough to claim any real knowledge.

    i could help you with the fronts, if they're coilovers they're pretty dam easy. Adjusting maybe a bit harder. Where in the bay are you located?

    A new pack will certainly help. But so too will adding. Just need to get all the bits lined up before starting the install. I did just look at some add a leaf parts and all of them have longer pins.

    Should have just got the entire OME package, but at the time of ordering I didn't have the extra 350 bucks

    I'm actually not sure what brand the add a leafs are. I got them from a friend who has had them for a few years but never installed them.
