Shock fuckery

Just tryna install my icons and Kings!!! Inner shock bushing sleeve might as well had been welded to the damn bolt.

 

That blows! Simple ass repair turns into all day experience.

 

Story of my life I swear

 

Same thing happened to me!

 

I have had luck with spraying them with Deep Creep from O’Reilly’s. Letting it sit for awhile then. Not to say the bushings won’t be toast, however it does make it easier to get off.

 

I sprayed em down with some penetrating oil, no go:/

 

I hate running into roadblocks like that. Simple fix turns into a time-consuming frustration!

 

Yup AND the other side was the same way! I was ready for it though and didn’t even try getting it off the normal way, I just went ahead and cut it off. It was more corroded than the first. OME should definitely put some stainless sleeves in there to prevent that from happening.

 

With that being said, after waiting forever for parts to arrive I FINALLY finished my new suspension setup!

Extended King shocks all around with resi’s and adjusters. 700lb springs up front. SPC UCA’s(already installed). Icon RXT leaf pack on stage 2 in the rear. Durobump bump stops up front, Timbren bump stops in the rear and a u-bolt flip kit to finish it all off. Sitting at ~2.5-3” of lift on 285/75-16 Patagonia Milestars.

Found a loading ramp to test articulation, shock compression and tire clearance with 0 issues. Cant wait to get it out on some trails!!!

 

Duuuuuuuude!!!
Lookin’ gooooood!!!
Good work man.

 

thanks!!!

 

How long did you run those emu’s? Was considering them but now you got me nervous...
But in Hindsight... Anything you could have done differently to prevent them from seizing up?

 

Lube them with anti seize when putting the bolt in...threaded and smooth portion.

 

Get the OME’s, they are great. PO put them on 4 years ago at 60k or so, truck has 125k on it now. Throw some grease or anti-sieze to keep it from happening. Setup still performed great before I pulled it off.

 

Just don't run washboard roads at high speeds for extended periods, or catch air, they'll have a good chance of blowing. A friend told me.

But for normal use, they are good.

 

Now all you need is a topper and we can be twins!

 

Man, your truck looks mean! I love rake and yours sits perfectly!

 

Truck is boss Chris, can’t wait to check it out. I know your stoked! I can only imagine the change in ride.

Also, keep us posted on those tires and your thoughts on them.

 

Sold!

Haven’t been on here in a while. Got a Kenwood hu for sale. It’s list in the GA classified thread. DDX374BT asking $125 Hall county. Only about 2 yrs old and only removed to upgrade to a carplay unit.

 

Anyone know somebody with land in Clayton, Forsyth, Dekalb, Or Fulton I could possible do some bow hunting on? In need of some deer meet and have been skunked all year. Trying to get one in the extended bow season.
