    If anyone in here likes IPAs, do yourself a favor and go to your local pachage store and buy some gandhibot. Most places keep it in back and you have to ask for it. CTs best beer.

    Starting the process of getting my lift kit together, but due to lack of tools/space/knowledge I am looking for a reliable shop to install it for me. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm up in the Hartford area, but am willing to drive a bit if necessary.

    Do you have person experience there? Any idea what a reasonable price would be for a suspension lift install?

    Yes, he has done work on my 4 runner plenty of times, welded on my sliders on the Taco, and then he put the lift on my Taco. I did the spacer install (complete removal of spring and shock assembly), remove and grease the cam bolts, install the add a leaf, diff drop, drive line spacer, and he sent it out for an alignment. I think that was all and it was somewhere in the 550 range iirc. Alignment was 100 bucks. Since I am impatient I got the poverty spacer lift kit from Trail Gear. Had I of known that you need to disassemble the whole front shock and spring to put the spacer in I would have just gotten coilovers from OME, Icon, etc.

    My point.....a bit expensive for a spacer install however not bad imho for a full suspension install.

    I like thier double, i like their new session IPA better. I have never been there, do they have a tasting room/bar? I would be down to grab a beer or two their and fill some growlers.

    Yea its huge.....It used to be a wire factory so the place is massive. They have those big spools as tables and the bar is made of a couple of them put together to form an oval. I hope that makes sense. They also have a food truck schedule where a different food truck parks outside the brewery each day. They also have a pretty nice patio.

    Hey guys. Haven't been in here in a while. Installed 5100s front and rear yesterday. Front set @ 1.75 and rear has General Spring HD leaf pack.
    Before: [​IMG]
    After: [​IMG]
    Sits slightly higher in the rear. Hardly noticeable but I like a little rake. The ride is noticeably improved. Which is nice when driving on the camel paths we have for roads here.

    There's a bunch of SWBs up here. I've seen at least 4 in this area regularly. Not the only reason, but nudged me a little to make it look different/the way I wanted.

    That sounds awesome, i need to check it out. I am a big fan of new england brewing co and i have been there a few times but they just have a small bar area and thats about it. Sounds like a awesome place for a meet, its hard for me to find time with all these weddings going on and starting a business but if we set up a time a date i will try to make it.
