AZ BS Thread 4²0

I just used the floor jack method a few weeks ago.
Having used a coil spring compressor on past trucks/jeeps and buddies I was dreading the install.
But it worked quite well. First side took a little longer to figure out exactly how to swing it, but other side was quick.

 

ahh ok. forgot you didnt have coilovers. yes.. definitely do the floor jack method. easy peasy

 

Why undo the UCA from the spindle? I've done the floor jack method a bunch, including on 6112, and never done that. Did you mean undo the LCA from the spindle?

 

I have a video I made a while back on how to change springs and struts on the ground with no compressor. It the evil TikTok but the info is there.

 

Thanks You, Thats the ticket! Respect the tongue!

 

I have these with holes drilled through both sides, but I cant get the hole on the 45 degree side as big as I need to for the screws to go through.


This is what I need them to look like. They dont have to be perfect.



And the current state

 

I appreciate it! I reached out to XPOTRPR since I have less experience in this realm but if he is unable to assist I will take you up on the offer to use your drill press! Thanks for the reply!

 

So all the thru holes are in, you just need all the backside clearance holes popped in. Where are you located? I could definitely do those after work on day..

 

Sweet! I'm over in Peoria. I can drive down your way whenever and drop them off and hang out while you do them if thats cool?

 

ok, yeah they shouldnt take toooo long... Do you have Dims of them. I can start working on program/setup if so and at least prep for it some to speed it up. and how many again?

 

Theres 4 pieces total. 6 holes per piece technically since its 3 holes in 2 different axis. 1.5" x 1.5" x 4.5" (A x B x Length)



Holes should match to fit into the other extrusions I have that are tapped at the ends (highlighted). Everything is in inches.

I think I covered everything? Let me know if I missed something. I really appreciate it man!

 

That'll do it. I'll start throwing stuff together.. and let you know. When are you trying to get these done? I could possibly do them tomorrow or Friday after work.

 

I think either day works depending on the time. What time should I be where you're at?

 

I'll shoot you a PM

 

Lol yeah we had to bounce, still needed to stop at the store on our way home that night.

 

Either way works, Ive just always had an easier time with the UCA.

 

Well that was easier than the first time I wrestled them fuckers in there!
Done 1hr 15mins. Need to check torque and test drive!

*edit update*
Holy hardened steel batman, these coils are stiff! Helps with the puckering body roll and I need to break em' in a bit.

 

While this happened in Florida, these dips shits are here too. Now with bike week here, be careful out there.
