    I had an alignment done at Tire Pros on Yosemite. They did a good job on the alignment before my truck was lifted... shitty job, when I took it to them after my lift.

    Matt, With everything that is going on I think i'm going to get to your place early try and bleed my brakes and move out of the way. I think that we are going to need more space and hands on Josh and Angelo's rigs (full suspension swap) and UCA and Leafs for Ricky.

    edit : I will bring my jack as well.

    I will bring my tools as well so we have plenty of tools.

    @roguegs there's a little tire shop here in Hughson. I just came over here to check with him. He will be open till 3 on Saturday. He said he'll mount and balance for $25 a wheel.

    He's a good guy. I have had him mount quite a few tires for me and have never had a problem with him.

    *** Edit... We can take your wheels/tires over to him and he can be mounting them while we're working on your truck.

    Not a bad idea. I have 5 wheels to be mounted. Only problem is...we need to swap TPMS from my OEM wheels to my new wheels :bananadead:

    Also, the things for this weekend are to compress the spring and raise the C-clip on my 6112s OR use the truck as the weight to compress the spring. Never done either so I would need someone to assist.

    Then install rear AAL from @Drtgrl and that should be about it.

    I have @foxrcing07 's spring compressor here. We can make quick work of the front. The AALs are really quick. I think you can actually make a 1 PM alignment appt.

    The guy here in Hughson can deal with TPMS sensors, but it might cost a bit more. We can talk to him on Saturday.

    Do you have an angle grinder? I heard that we might have to chop off the oem retaining clip as it interferes with the AAL pack

    Do you know a price range by chance? If I keep those trail teams I’m going to powdercoat them.

    What type of grease should I get to lube my uppers? I’ll bring some brake fluid but what else will I, or anyone else need? @roguegs what necessary fluids are you bringing?

    TC should have provided grease with the bushings when installing. The uni ball is a dry lube from what I have heard.
