    Plus custom fabrication ain't just a walk in the park to begin with. It takes a lot of time to do and shit comes up all the time.

    No need to say names! Just that good fabricators are not always the best communicators

    See, I disagree with this. Im giving you 100% of the money, Thus giving you business. Therefore you should give me 100% of your time (depending on whats being done) If you properly make arrangements and appointments with someone to to get work done, There should be no reason that progress isnt constant. But what I think you're trying to say is that custom fabrication doesnt always go 100% as planned, Certain things happen that take a little more time and TLC. That I respect and know all too well. But if someone is blatantly ignoring my build, then that is a problem.

    Yeah, I wasnt agreeing with that dude at all.

    Was just commenting on what someone else said.


    If I gave someone a down payment on work and my time/money wasnt being respected then I'd loose my shit.

    My day you ask?? Ehhh...

    After hearing the news that my coilovers won't be built until Tuesday, thus putting off my LT install until next week, I kinda gave up on today. LOL

    Gonna be a LONG weekend for me.

    so im having a axle wrap issue and its pissing me off, my u bolts are tight, i dont know what else could be causing it.

    Engage 13 inch shackles, 50T pack, 16 inch 2.5s, engage hangars, shocks mounted off the rear of the axle.
    it feels like something could be loose to be honest and its driving me nuts. on the road and hard packed its fine, in soft stuff it hops like a bunny

    Seriously though...what valving are you running and where are the lower shock mounts?
    And when you say "soft stuff"...what do you mean? What air pressure are you running in the tires? What kind of tires?

    HAHA

    i am unsure of the valving, just got the rear shocks and threw them on. let me ask the guy i got them from to see if he knows. ill report back on that.
    the lower shock mounts are off the rear of the axle, off hand id have to say the bolt hole is 3-4 inches behind the axle.

    soft stuff meaning a really soft wash, like where i would get stuck with 2wd and a locker pretty much.

    i didnt air down for my 2 shake down runs i did, but i am at about 25 PSI. i should have tried that....

    i am running 33x12.5x15 BFG KM2s

    yup, go back and try again. Find out what valving you have before you come trouble shoot here.

    BTW, Engage will be at Glamis so if you're lucky, they might lend an ear for your problems.
