    I do have a garage, but it's got a Jeep sitting in it :(

    I'm going to go ahead and get the struts assembled tomorrow when the parts come in, so all that will be needed is to put it on jack stands, pull the wheels, and do the front struts. Back is already completed.

    So if you're down for an install tomorrow I'm good. Otherwise Tuesday would be good too. After that, my week nights are busy and it's supposed to start raining.

    Any takers for that?

    I can probably come by after work tomorrow. What time would you be home?

    I'll likely be home after 3:00 PM, and run around town gathering the parts until maybe 3:30. So pretty much any time after that.

    I'd imagine one of you guys would be more than enough, so if Chris can come then Warren wouldn't need to, or vice versa. After doing this last week with Juan and Chris, I honestly think it's going to take longer to assemble the struts than it will to install them.

    BTW, to all the people in this thread (and especially those I've met in person already), thanks for being a friendly and helpful group of people. I look forward to contributing to your builds in the future.

    To save confusion, I'll pencil Chris in for tomorrow then since he seems to be willing.

    I'll see you soon anyways Warren, for photos.

    And Juan, thanks for offering as well, even though if you came over I'd just have you keep an eye on Ford so Katie could help me instead (ooo sick burn!). Am I doing this right?

    Ok dang, do you know if those Toytec 2" rear springs were side specific? I realized I have 2" of lift on the driver side and 2.75" on the passenger. Just wondering if they will even out and break in (since driver side has gas tank).

    I didn't notice if they were side specific or not.

    If they were they would have a +/- on the spring...the +for driver, to compensate for the lean......but I don't know anything.

    :annoyed:
    I forget you have a 4rnr.......never mind....forget everything I have told you.

    Coils shouldn't be side specific.
