    Yea I hate my 5100's. lol. I have 10" kings coming next week. unfortunately i have to wait till Jerry @ bamf is free (june 25th was his soonest date.) to install a shock relocation because the kings won't work in the stock place.
    Sounds good.

    Ah, gotcha. That's some slick stuff right there. I'm pretty sure the 10" Billy's fit stock... I hope so, not sure I want to relocate.

    yea they do fit stock. I know i can't wait to get it all in. I just figured if have to get new shocks then midswell get the relocation done at the same time. Cant use the billy's for BAMF's shock relocation.

    Haha! Damn your good. It's on my drive home from work everyday and there was one parking spot left. I wasn't sure if I would get in trouble or not so I only stayed for like 5-10minutes.
    Do you know any other close by spots that are flex-able? Lol. Saw a few possible ones on the coast aka highway 1 in half moon bay/pacific. Some of the beach parking lots have some big mounds. Just gotta go on a foggy day. I saw another possible flex spot @ ocean beach today on my way home as well that I may have to do .

    I haven't found many, The lack of dirt around has me constantly looking but I haven't really found any. It would be nice to check out the suspension after I do work on it, and just for fun:D

    Thanks for the offer, Ive got plenty of tools, but could you some help from time to time. And likewise, I'm always down to help, I was actually going to ask if I could tag along when you do your UCAs, sometime in the future I want to swap mine out, would be nice to see how it's done.

    Well just let me know I'm always down to help. It depends when I get them. But I'll probably install them on the 24th with john ^ you could definitely tag along bro. You guys can use my BJ removal tool when you get your UCA's haha.

    Just got my total chaos UCA's in the mail. Super good quality. Can't wait to install them so I can do my alignment..

    I think my plan of attack will work pretty well. I'm just going to cut the upper BJ with a grinder so I don't have to mess with trying to disconnect it from the stock UCA's. Then i have my total chaos BJ removal/install tool which should make that part a breeze. So hopefully it will be a semi smooth install..

    Also I think king shocks deserves an award for excellent customer service. I must of emailed the guy like 20 times about my shocks lol. I feel kind of bad but I want to make sure what I get is the right shit. It may not be much money to them but 600$ is a lot to me and they seemed to understand that. I think they will be coming sometime next week :D

    Definitely throwin them in on saturday. Shouldn't be all too bad.

    The kings are for the rear. I have to have BAMF install em cause I'm getting a shock relocation. They won't work in the stock location.

    When i was putting in my toytec coil overs my buddy and i tried to disconnect the UCA from the BJ but couldn't do it. So i figure why struggle if i don't have to lol. Cut those som bitches.

    Hopefully i won't need the torch or freezer since i got these(total chaos upper BJ removal/install tool. Use a c-clamp w/ it.):

    Sounds good bro. What time were you thinking you would be down here? I don't think the UCA's or breathers will take too long.
