AZ BS Thread 4²0

I have one in my garage you can come over and use. Tolerances and spacing will only be as good as you can make them with your hands though.

 

got a pic of what you're trying to do? If its something quick and basic I can probably do it after work one day for you..

 

Im quick and basic and you can do me anytime after work.... and my feet pic will slide in your dms soon

 

Goals.

This is exactly the kind of thing that’s ruining good clean family threads…













…I love it

 

Seen this comment while scrolling for another posted video. Sorry I didn't get you one Kevin, I think i was loading Bills bumper and you guys bounced really quick to get bk hm. I've got plenty more for another meet up.

 

Looking for the coil spring video, I wanna refresh the how to and slam my new coils in Thursday before the weekend.

 

you'll need a wall compressor or the like to swap coilover coils.

 

Ive done it with the sketchy rental compressors a few times but I dont condone that behavior, especially when you get up to 700lb springs

 

Damnit, I was afraid they would be too tough to cheat with a floor jack like i did with the 650lbs..
Guess ill take it to my buddies shop.. No go for new coils this weekend

 

I've tried it too and yeah.. bailed on it and found a wall compressor to use. A hydraulic press with the right spacing/setup works too,. @05TacoRunner showed me that trick.

 

we can do coils one day soon too if you want.

 

Wait, do you have coilovers or something like Bilstein 5100s?

 

6112's with 650lbs , going to 700lbs coils to help with added weight

 

Ive got a message to my buddy. Seeing him this evening to look into my bad exhaust rattle. Better bring beer and the coils if he has his press up. I'll get bk to you on this.

 

Ok those you can do with the floor jack method. Jack up the LCA to compress the spring enough to take the tension off the shock shaft nut, undo the the shock shaft nut, undo the UCA/ball joint nut and separate from the spindle, lower the LCA and everything comes apart. Reassemble in reverse with the new coils.

 

Yeah that's how I installed them, wasn't sure if the added 50lbs would be a bitch to compress. Wanted refresh my brain with the process. I do recall it being that easy, it's been a minute since I had them off.
Thanks Mike

 

Nah youll be fine with that method and 700s. I edited my post to add, make sure to undo the UCA from the spindle ha.

 

Taco tabs will be even better help now. I can loose them up and swing the LCA outta the way and not lose alignment!
I’m sure I’ll find out really fast on the first side if I can get it done.
