    I'm going to be Installing my Icon UCAs and Coil Overs this weekend. Thought I'd see if anyone was interested in drinking some beer and lending hand.

    My shop is in Fremont near 880 and 84.

    If you're interested let me know what kind of beer you like and I'll send you a PM with an address and contact info.

    So, it didn't go as well as I hoped. So I need to weigh my options and figure out whats going to work best. But here's a thread I posted about my issues today.

    I removed the spindle, So my ball joint press could get at it with out any fender well obstructions. But turns out, with a good freezing of the part and using the torch again. it dropped right in.

    I was using the OME with the 881 springs and an add a leaf to the rear. I have plans for the rear set up. I'll be making a post about that design ideas for a Mid travel, clearance set up.
