damn that's high!

I put some on mine, bit only 5/16" total.

Which OME springs did you put in?

 

So first off i want to apologize if i came off as rude yesterday i was tired, hungry, and frustrated that i did not get as far as i had wanted on the lift IE done. By the time i had realized my mistake for putting the spacer on i had used up all of my time for the hobby shop so i had to leave the truck over night. Now today i started off by removing the front suspension getting the spacers off and doing my best to get the wheels straight. then it was time for the rears by this point i was joined by Brandon with his experience and knowledge finished up the truck in no time. Now all that is left to do is a proper alignment which i have an appointment with island brake and alignment tomorrow morning.

with that said thanks for the guys insight and thanks Brandon for the help

 

I didn't get a rude vibe at all

We all been there, gets frustrating fast. Glad you got it all sorted out!

 

haha im with ya there..... i know half the guys have seen me frustrated with my truck in pieces in my driveway. its all in good fun.

 

Ahh, so those are your sliders in the pic? With the bolt on steps? So you not getting the bolt on frame plates then. It's all good. I would want to take business away from the guy. And still a pretty good deal. Especially compared to what I'm going through with my sliders

 

I wish they were mine but I'm still waiting for mine to get here. I got the frame plates but no step. They were a good price I just hope the quality is as good. I think I am going to go broke from shipping.

 

Cool. Here is how mine is coming along...

I'm sure you all saw the before pics
Sealed up all the gaps, and cleaned up and primed the section where welding is complete. I have new heavy wall tubing(blue pipe in the background) for the 4 missing legs. Already notched them. Then just gotta weld up the gussets, flap wheel the whole thing, and then prime and shoot some bedliner. Yeah, that's all

 

sounds fun!

those frame plates look interesting all setup like that

 

If you need a hand just give me a shout! I should still be unemployed for a few weeks

 

Thanks Nate, will do
I'm taking my time on it, but I need to get it out of my shop and onto my truck. takes up way too much room. Obviously I'm busy this weekend, and then the next weekend my neighbor wants me to detail her lexus...
And no, its not because of the fallout from all the grinding

 

looks good wish I had the skills for projects like that, glad I just have to sand, prime and spray some bedliner

 

Thanks! But I wish that instead of ordering the Beefed sliders so long long ago, I had just dropped a grand and bought the Slee sliders like I wanted in the first place. I would have had them long ago, would already come powercoated, and is very similar to what I am doing.

Great looking welds too.

 

ill be free next weekend after finals...if you want someone to stand around

i know my way around some wax though

 

As long as you bring coffee! And it better be fresh!

 

Those are nice looking sliders! Those would have to wait till after the bumper though

 

And preferably a Quad espresso...

 

If you get those sliders, I will hate you forever...

 

that right there sounds like a challenge
