    Hey guys,

    I am normally a DIY person , however I am 1/2 through moving out of state and have all my tools up in Idaho. I need to remove my King 2.5 CO's and drop them off at King for a week then re install them. The shock cylinder broke loose and spins in unison with the collar and the guy at King said 100% it needs to be taken apart and re sealed to avoid damage. He said he will need the shocks for a full week..... with that being said I have no tools, not even a floor jack with me, but I need to get this done asap. If anyone lives near Huntington Beach and willing to help me out ill provide cold beers and lunch. Looking to do this on a Sunday so I can drop them off first thing Monday morning.

    Thank you in advance.

    Off topic... What takes you to Idaho? I know I'm hoping to move somewhere more affordable and less politically liberal once my kid graduates HS. I love SoCal (born and raised SD native) but it's getting out of control from a RE affordability and tax perspective.

    #1. Liberals and laws
    #2. Cost of living, SFR houses near the bear are not affordable.
    #3. Traffic commute is driving me insane
    #4. The people are getting worse, more road rage, more crime, more homeless and druggies.
    #5. I am tired of the warm/hot weather. I love cold and snow and real weather with seasons.
    #6. I want to live somewhere I do not have to vacation from.
    #7. More country, less city.

    That's just the main reasons haha there's plenty of other reasons still, but we just fell in love with Norther Idaho.

    My sentiments exactly. Good luck in your new location. Maybe I'll see you up there in a few years... LOL...
