    Should have a good collection of 4x4 wood blocks in your garage. If your jack stand is too short, raise it up on those. Block the tires with those too.

    I guess I can take a gander at HF.

    But it seems they are selling cheap imitations


    Where do you get the 20%

    Sometimes you can find coupons in magazines. They were handing out the coupons yesterday. Could probably just stop by and ask for one. Or go buy something cheap, then go back easter.

    They're good for one item, easter only, 20% off.


    I pulled a whole page of coupons out of a 4x4 mag the other day and forgot to take with me.

    20% off any single item. Free 6 pc screw driver with purchase of 9.99 before tax. 6 ton jack stand set 29.99

    and some other crap.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    I use HF grinders in the shop everyday and they last just as long as a 90.00 grinder from sears. Just don't get the black drill master ones they suck I've burnt up like 5. Also get the 1 year warranty it's like 3 bucks on a grinder and you can beat the piss out of it and get a new one every 11 months ask me how I know :spy:

    For lifting your truck? Absolutely.

    No reason a 2.5 or 3 ton wouldn't work either but just get something that lifts around 18 inches or more.

    The little crap jacks that lift a foot kind of suck.

    Yeah.

    But Those are huge and heavy.

    Watch the total max lift height. For a lifted Tacoma you want as high as possible.

    When I was down there two weeks ago the 2.5 ton ones with good lift height were on sale.

    I don't usually buy extended warranty but on this I did.

    Hey Jerry, I'm not going to do the springs at the moment, seems my requirements exceed the expos (i'm hearing some neg stuff on them too), plus I have yet to call Icon but I think my weight exceeds theirs too. Maybe a custom set of Alcans may be in order but that won't be in time for mod day. Keep me on the list, there is other stuff i need to do but it won't be as extensive as leaf swapping.
