Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

Anyone know of a local powdercoater? Need to get the tailgate reinforcement coated!

 

Wicked weed is the shit! that french onion dip is sooooooooo effing amazing!

 

My company has used St. Clair Coatings in Monroe for years.

 

Thinking of selling my TRD exhaust, any local interest? It's for an 11/12+ but I have it on my 2010. The rear hanger is 90* off and I never got it turned, just ziptied it up.

 

I will have a set of OME 887 (approx 10-15K on them) coils for sale after Aug 6, swapping to 886's $120

 

Off topic but I was looking through your build thread and saw you had 885 installed for awhile. Looks like you got just under 2" after settling, is that right? I installed Dakars with top overload removed and 884s but only got 1.6" so I think Im going to swap in 885s. Just dont want much over 2".

 

my truck had been through a few front setups......originally yes, 885's, were good, until i put on the bumper, and skid. had the sliders at the time of 885 install. I think it gave me near 2.5 to start, then settled. once bumper and skid came, I needed more, went with 887 for more height, was scared of the 886 being too stiff. today she sits at about +2" in the front with the 887s, bumper, sliders, and front skid. I need to get the front up a bit, so I am going to do the 886's, they are about the same spring length as the 887, but 660 lb coils, vs. 590 lb coil. so should not sag. I am also putting on a mid skid and tcase skid too soon, so, more weight......I may put a 3/8 spacer on top of the 886's also, to try to get back close to 3". holler back if any more questions

 

Thanks, did your alighnment go ok with the 885s? When did you put on the new UCAs?

 

Here is mine with the 884s, 885s should help a little I think.

 

Ahh, yes, UCAs. I did light racing UCAs at time of the initial install, so yeah, they got it where I wanted.

 

Home Depot on south blvd...

Been super busy- would like to meet everyone.

 

My company's office and warehouse is moving this month, have to be out of our building by the 31st. I will be pretty busy for the next few weeks

 

hey guys, hate to ask this but does anyone have a full sized floor jack? I need to jack up my truck to install my shims for my leaf springs. Still battling some take-off vibrations and vibrations around 65 mph due to the install of my dakars and icons. Don't have a lift tall enough to get my tires off of the ground anymore. Any thoughts?

 

I have to use 1 or 2 4x6 chunks to get mine up anymore.....

 

Awesome, thanks @JimboAnz . Was trying to avoid that but may have to go that route.

On a different note, went to 4 wheel parts for a "shake down." I have to say, I was impressed with the technician. Super cool dude, knew I liked working on my own truck so gave me pointers on what to do and where to get the parts. Didn't try to sell me on anything. And, I may end up going back there for an alignment even though I already had one done. They just seem to know much more on how to align a lifted truck.
