The guy with blue rear fenders and no glass on the front end was killin it!

 

Hey guys i got a question maybe you folks could help,

I'm currently running kings and tc uca I want to raise it about 1.5' more can I do this straight of the ground with tires on or would i have to jack it up off the ground in order to do this?

 

It looked to me like he may have "stadium truck" tuned his front to corner and jump better. Don't know shit about shocks but it seemed to sit low and jump the rollers more than soak them.

 

So I was put in a brand new 2014 f-250 today at work.

It has an E-Locker.

Kinda bad ass for a base truck

 

That looks good, I wouldn't mind a new f250

 

Gotta get the weight off the springs in order to lift it, and careful with too much lift, you are gonna start smokin axles!

 

Those trucks were trying to fly over those jumps in the center. I'm excited to run the street class tomorrow

 

Damn, nice shot Connor

 

anybody planning on offroading this weekend? the wife is off saturday and I want to take her in the dirt!

 

okay so lift and remove tires right thanks buddy.

 

You are most likely going to need to remove the coil-overs all together, especially if you have remote resi's, being King's I imagine you do. If you have anything over a 550-600# coil it gets ever harder and using a spring compressor helps a lot. Be sure to lubricate the threads with some WD-40 or similar as well. Keep in mind that if you are trying to achieve additional lift its not 1 to 1. If you are looking for 1" of lift you probably only need about 3/8" of additional coil pre-load.

 

Yeah like Tyler said, use some really good lube on the threads or you might be sorry! Luckily I have been able to adjust them all on the vehicle so far. But I have all the different types of special tools for doing so and if needed add an extension bar for more leverage.

BTW thanks again Tyler, I took care of your customer on Saturday with the sliders!
He was really happy with the quality of the product and the end result. You are building some quality product,

 

Just stopping in to hi!, toyota to the rescue as usual , I wish I could have headed out to corral canyon with all you guys this past week. I miss that damn place!

 

Anybody needing 5 285/75/r16 E rated BFG all terrains. They are almost new with only 2400 miles on 4 and 1 with no miles on it. Asking 900 to a TW member.

Hit me up if interested.

 

Im so confused now I need a spring compressor can't I just remove my wheel stick the rod and start turning? not that simple great I need help then.

 

Good deal! What are you going to run?

 

Thanks for the input weirdly enough it all went away. It was super weird when it first popped up. O well if it was the clutch I would just end up getting a racing clutch so some good would come outta it.

Any one driving down to fiesta in a group in or around El Cajon.? If not anyone wanna meet up and drive down together.? Also anyone planning on bringing food? I got a lil smokey joe small BBQ I was thinking of Grillin up some steaks burgers and hot dogs for the kids. Also bringing some mixed drinks.

 

I think there's a group from NorCal coming down this weekend,
I'll look for the link in a bit
