"64wildcat" Denis needs help installing hi lift

Gotta work all wkend.

 

No worries .
I got my icons on too . I love them .
Sucks to hear about the mix up on the Uca's .

 

Thanks again guys! and thanks John for the use of the garage!
I'll bring coffee and donuts and are we still wheeling afterwards?
And is anyone looking for a set of Bilstein 5100's already mounted on stock Tacoma springs set at 1.75", they have about 30,000 miles on them, $100.00 and their yours.

 

Yeah, i'll live. Metal Tech said ship m back and they'll send the correct ones. Slows the build down. I knew something was'nt right when the castle nut would'nt go further than a couple threads. We didnt have that prob with Miquels. Looks like you can get right to it on Sat, i see the coilovers are already built. Saves time. I'm gonna attempt my rear leaf's tomorrow. I did my homework, but its a first for me. Hopefully goes smooth. Hey, are you gonna put boots on your rear resi's. I'm thinkin about it.

 

I have to say, its pretty awesome how you mass guys team up and help eachother

 

Sorry guys, Nitro will not be there to guard everyone. I have a cut and wheel with NTC.

 

No problem Denis

I don't know what the boots are? Do you have a picture of it?

ya good group of guys !

We might have to cancel the whole thing if nitro's not coming .

 

You guys definitely need protection in that neighborhood.

 

We should try and get some wheeling done if you guys finish early. Gonna be 60 out on Saturday and I know you guys are gonna wanna see how your lifts do wheeling. Plus I wanna see how my tires do.

 

"We might have to cancel the whole thing if nitro's not coming . "

That's it,i'm out!

 

Dont have a pic. metal techs website shows them on the Icon kits. It covers the exposed shaft. I know they are pretty bullet proof but figured they might protect and expensive piece of the equasion

 

anybody know a welder or shop thats pretty local that will do a cab mount chop ? I think i can handle the trimming but need someone to weld on the new material etc. What do you think it will cost? Any input would be great. I'm goin all out. I'm thinkin 285's. Thanks

 

Alright I follow you now . I didn't know they made those . I'll look into it .

I cut mine last weekend . Very simple with a angle grinder .I would think it wouldnt cost to much to have a plate welded in. I'm having my roommate weld mine up at his work . And if he cant do it I'll borrow a welder from him and give a shot myself .

 

I'm up for it ! I want to test out all my new stuff

 

Anyone know of a place to have my top plates for the lift installed. I hate how my truck sits lower in the front lol. I went to ntb and sears auto( there really cheap when I go there) and they both said about 300 to 400. You have to be kidding me. It isnt a long job. So much money. Any suggestions guys.

 

I personally like when a truck has a little forward rake. For me anyway, the front is lower because I use the bed a lot, so a sagging rear end looks even more dumb, in my opinion. My truck was level at first, I actually lowered the front 3/4"

 

9am if you need my address or number pm me .

 

Who's going?

 

As far as I know .
You
Aj
Miguel
Boston billy - maybe
Denis .

 

Aj said he can't come but I'll be there. Might not be there till 10 or 11 or so but ill be there. Gonna go to ntb I'm Avon and put my top spaces installed and then I'll be there
