    Anyone running the Kings with the 700# spring? I'm looking for some pics of the preloaded before I start the install tonight.

    Yup, 700# 14". When the rain stops ill hop out with a measuring tape. I WOULD DEFINATELY SET THE PRELOAD WHILE THE SPRING IS COMPRESSED. I damaged the ring after it was mounted

    I'm not sure my spring compressor is small enough to fit between the coils.

    Yeah, the standard just has a cotter pin. Might go pick up a lynch pin at Tractor Supply and do the same.

    Just looked at your build. You running the Icons still? I have the Kings. Think there is going to be much of a difference?

    Do we have any connections locally for tube bending? I need 2 simple 1.5 tubes bent and notched and I really don't want to have to go out of town for it or order it from one of the fab companies.

    Screw it, I'm ordering a fucking tube bender next Friday. Tired of us having an entire fabrication division and no goddamn bender.

    Randy, Brent the Protools Heavy Duty Manual was good to go right?

    Looks like I can afford a set if does too if shipping isn't crazy.

    I'm not saying don't do that, because that would be AWESOME, but Randy and I are really close to building one... so your money could be better spent.

    DOM, HREW all the same dies... only difference is the tubing size and shape.
    But yes, couple of us could order different sized dies (common sizes) and be very capable.

    Edit: At that point, lots of tube fitting, we would also be wanting a tubing notcher and a sheet metal break/press, maybe a bead roller and a plasma torch... It never ends...
