the other option is to remove both leaf packs, and have a spring shop rearch them to +1 inch. any 18 wheeler repair shop that deoes spring work will have the machine to do so.

 

I don't mine the .5'' but I'm afraid of the possibility of it being a 2'' lift, then i'm about an 1'' difference again. it was actually mainly the labor issue, for the add a leaf, do we have to remove the shocks? cause when 2009sr5 helped me with my trd shocks, the vice grip couldn't grip the top bolt, so we cut the cover and gripped the shaft, if that happens to me this time, then no spare shocks to work with


cause i read toytec's instructions on the aal and the lift block, they say the add a leaf u gotta take off the shock

 

for the lift concern: if it ends up being too much lift, you can aways remove the overload leaf to drop it down about 3/4''

as for the shock, just gotta use your nogin.....remove the bottom shock bolt instead of the top, and shizam! down drops the axle

 

washed teh truck today

 

so the shop i part time at is one of two, owned by the same two guys. the one i don't work at (3 miles from the one i work at) just had a corvette fly through one of the walls and destroy most of the showroom.

 

damn

 

I haven't done that since like May

 

Opportunity to ride a StumpJumper on the hood of a vette. Do it!

 

just sold me with the overload leaf, thanks colin and tony, i'm gonna go with the add a leaf

 

glad you weren't there

 

Jim :

 

pretty sure all of them look like crumpled tin cans at this point. the car went through the west wall, and i know for a fact there was a $15,000 pinarello road bike hanging on that wall.......may it rest in peace

 

Holy shit

 

ouch

 

colin i didnt know u worked at a bike shop. think u could hook me up with a good price on a road bike....

 

Just glad you weren't there and no one was hurt, insurance will pay for the damage.

 

lol ya. pretty crazy though... good thing it was just an old vet. Woman driver by any chance?

 

guy in his mid 50s. he had a seizure driving down the road. he was brought to the hospital. luckily noone in the shop was injured.

Ryan, get me a bike modle and size and i'll see if i can get any kind of deal for ya.

 

A buddy of mine had no idea he had seizures until he had one while driving and drove right into a lake. Would have died but someone jumped in and pulled him out of the car/water.
