Very nice.. btw your username reminds me of that song "get low" haha.. "to the windowww.. to the wall"

 

Not real sure how to take that comment haha especially from someone whose name has "dirty D" and "taco" in it

 

Lol well played sir

 

This has nothing to do with my truck, but...

...for all you DMB fans out there..

Picked up a couple of pallets from work and made this

 

Got my 5100s and eibachs in today. Compressed the coils the old fashioned way instead of paying a ridiculous amount of money to get them installed. Took me a while to do, but a couple hours of work is better than a couple hundred dollars. Installed pics to come

 

Super jelly man. Explain this "compressed coils the old fashioned way" to a noob please? I'll be getting suspension later this year and don't wanna pay to get it installed haha

 

Kind of scary, not going to lie, but it got the job done!

 

what did that little contraption cost haha?

 

Nothing for me. A guy at work had one similar to that picture. I think they are about $40.

 

Alright man thanks

 

Man, I was always under the impression that you already had some kind of a lift. And those spring compressors are superrrr sketchy.. I have some and have used them before and I will still probably take mine to a shop to get the eibachs put on the billies when I get them.

 

How much do shops charge to put the springs on?

 

I was hesitant at first, but the ones I had were a little better than the ones in the picture. Proper safety precautions can go a long way even as minor as a pair of safety glasses

I called around today for quotes and if they even compresses springs, it was $90. To install and compress was $180.

That is ridiculous to me.

 

For sure.. I'll see what it costs around here. Guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there

 

Can't wait to see installed pics man! I considered compressing mine myself too but I always get nervous so I had a shop do it. They only charged me 60 which didn't seem too bad to me

 

60 isn't bad at all. I'm in Illinois right now so i don't really know what shops are good, so I just did it by myself. Back home I could have gotten them done for free! Pics this afternoon!

 

The good old fashion spring compressor! I used the same setup on my first car. Truck's lookin nice! Even better with the lift.

 

It cost me $40 I believe but that was like 5-6 years ago. I live in a very rural area so there are mom and pop shops all over. I took it to a shop my cousin worked at.

 

Yeah I live in a real rural area so we'll see. Thanks

 

Thanks Pone!
