Lol, I'd be happy to help too with the wrenching, just don't have the tools or space here. Let me see about finding parts. I'll pay whatever your rate is at the dealer too my dude.

 

Shocks out back, struts up front, and you wanted the leaf shims too eh? That’s not a larger order to do in the garage. Getting it through work would be a hell of a time. Now aligning it? Swing by after hours and o could square that away.

 

Oh man even better, (alignment), especially with TSS... I meant like I'll pay you personally whatever the rate is because your time is worth it, lol. Ya I'm trying to avoid any vibes, need for new UCAs, etc. 6/5 clip should set me at 2'' inches up front. I'm just struggle busing on 275 vs 285, don't want to CMC and would like to keep flaps on to avoid chip city to the rockers.

 

I've got a master cylinder to do in a car soon and some other little projects. this weekend im moving my mercedes to the house and the frame to the farm so wee bit more room in the garage. probably could do the suspension in 2 or 3 weeks. maybe a bit sooner. I assume the front struts need the spring put on and all too?

 

I think I can get them already put on, I know the 6112s are on back order everywhere, gonna need to figure out lead time, so you do you.

 

should be able to get decent castor with the stock arms but it might not be enough to clear with out a CMC. not sure. its a 2020 at least so i know the eccentrics will move. that makes life easy.

 

I've got a stand up strut compresso. putting them on is no big deal.

fridays and sundays are my off days.

 

Sounds like 275s are more likely, I was gonna run fuel shoks which are -12 offset and 4.5 BS.

 

Would have killed for that when we were autozone special compressing coils for my buddies wrangler, dangerous as f**k.

 

I'll PM you my number. be easier to coordinate a day

 

sounds good man! thanks for help!

 

i enjoy simple things like this. lol its refreshing to install a lift on a non rusty vehicle.

 

They ought to have a face-off with the guys in MA!

 

Lol, he said he does 12 a day. They do what takes me an hour or two in 30 mins.

 

It’ll he covered in fluid film though...

 

So? Not like I’m digging deep into the frame.
Eccentric bolts loose to
Let the arm drop, sway bar link loose, ball joint bolts off, then front strut is ready to Come out. For the rear, loosen u bolts to put the shims in, and then the shock is a top nut, bottom is a bolt and nut. Simple.

 

My dumba** would be knuckles bleeding YouTubing sh*t. Lol

 

You don't wanna touch mine then lol
All suspension smothered in the thickest of sheep fat currently
Black and clear!

 

Ya I got spoiled in AZ didn’t have to touch it last 5 years. Hoping the 2020 stays nice and rust free for a bit.

 

I can say the 18 and up trucks seem to be holding up better with the frame plugs and wax coating inside the frame
