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

Thanks for the feedback on Firestone. Hopefully getting the Tremor this weekend or early next. There are some unique front suspension knuckle or something so the regular F-150 shocks won’t work or at least haven’t been tested(most likely). So just going to level for now and as soon as Fox or King puts out something that’ll work I’ll swap. Seems like the lifetime alignment will pay for itself after two alignments. Firestone also has the 35’s I want a little cheaper than discount tire.

 

What’s the tremor vs regular F150 (or whichever F-series you have on order)?

 

Mine is basically the Lariat trim but has the Raptor Transfer case and front Differential (Torsen) plus a bunch of offroad goodies (rear locker, 3.73 gears, one pedal driving, trail turn assist which drags the inside rear wheel, 33's, little bit of a lift from the factory.)

 

Did yours just arrive in the last couple hours haha?

 

Can’t hide money

 

Need some help from the collective.

My dad is finally ready to lift his 11' TRDOR. Looking to spend around 1k. I initially leaned towards the Eibach kit but figured I'd reach out and see what the 2nd Gen guys had to say.

 

So it will be a 3.5 ton unit?

 

Ome is way better than Eibach

 

I've got around 70k miles on my Toytec BOSS Coilover setup and its been great. I already had the leaf pack though.

No additional weight up front? OME 885x springs, Bilstein 5100s on all 4 corners and OME Dakar leaf pack. I'm guessing that would be around $1k and be one of the better rides.

 

I think for him at 59 years old ride quality will be the most important. I quoted him a full OME setup. Soft rides on 885's and an AAL. Well see what he decides.

 

My Toytecs are stiff, but handle great.

I helped a buddy install the 5100s w/ 885x springs and was kind of pissed at how much better his truck felt to drive. It was much more "Cadillac" than what I have. If doing it over again, I probably would have gone that route and saved some money.

....that, or go full Fox w/ remote reservoirs. I figure I'll have to consider these things in another 30k. Mine have given no indication of wearing out, but 100k on a lifted suspensions seems like it will be sufficient time to look for replacements.

 

Just looked at the Bilstein/ OME setup on headstrong. Came in $200 cheaper. Prob be the best solution for him. Ultimately he will make the decision. I'm just the Labor, and he knows it.

 

Fox's with remote reservoirs definitely aren't cadillac riding either. Low speed stuff they are great, but still pretty harsh on the high speed stuff.

 

Speaking from experience?

Eibach kit on my truck rode FAR better than stock or the $3k ADS I had.

 

Yep, had eibach on my Tacoma and hated it. But for a mall crawler it is perfect.

 

If anyone is experienced in international logistics my company is desperate for two people (import and export). If you know of anyone send them my way. I can discuss job role, salary, etc.

 

I buy stuff from China all the time! Pick me!

 

me too, but I need someone who knows how to get it from China to here

 

On a boat!

 

hired.
