Northern KY or Cincinnati trucks???

Ok guys today is my b-day!!!!

My friends are chipping in to get me a lift what great friends right!!!!????

Ok now I need YOU to help me, Im trying not to go over 500 I was checking out the toytec lift thats what 699 or something?

Anyway I'm looking for billy 5100's and a AAL (also I want the things that go on the shocks to get rid of the bro lean as some people call it)..

No heavy duty off roading, just light off roading for now, in a few years I'll get a bigger better lift and it will turn into a off road machine.


Edit, so what do you suggest I dont want anything over 3" I'm actually fine with only a 1" maybe 2" lift.

I know I know, I dont want much I would love to only have a 1" lift for now but I dont think anyone makes a 1" lift.

 

Get the 5100's all around with a AAL in the rear, then when you decide to go bigger you can adjust the struts and get a new leaf pack or something for the back

That'll cost around the $500 mark. If they are truly good friends they will help you install it! lol jk, but glad to hear your buddies are chippin in!

 

Actually they are helping LOL!!!

Great friends right!?


Edit where would you order from I was looking at DSM but I didnt see the part to get rid of the bro lean sold with there shocks....

 

Oh yea and Happy Birthday man! and a HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL!!!

 

^ thanks it has been a very good birthday!! Won money at the casino!

 

Happy Birthday! Mine is less than a month away. I would try Toytec.com. They should have th spacer for the drivers side the corrects the lean. I bought my AAL from them as well. The 5100's were a bit harder to find when I bought them. Like you said DSM or Toytec would be where I would start. I got mine from suspensionconnection.com. I would call before I placed my order just to make sure the 5100's aren't on back order. I set my front a 1.75 and did a 2inch AAL in the rear. My rear leaf pack was pretty much shot from towing/hauling so now I'm sitting level. If you tow/haul anything I would suggest setting the front at the second setting (I think it .8 inches of lift) as when I tow/haul the rear squats and the front rides high. One other suggestion is finding a really good place to do the alignment. It took my about 4-5 times to get it right. When you do the lift you will need to give the alignment shop different specs to go by since the factory ones no longer apply. You should be able to find them on TW somewhere. You will really like the new look of your truck with the 5100's + the AAL. It gives it a whole new stance. GL w/ the installation!

 

Thanks for the info and the wishes!!!

Yeah this isn't my first lift so hopefully it wont be to bad

also

+99999 for air tools!!!!!

Sent DSM vendor a pm about their kit, might get a whole new leaf pack (be out of my pocket $$)

 

Happy b-day man! winning money is always nice.

haha same here. turning the big 21!!!! gonna do it up good. Apparently I am being drug down to the Jack Daniels distillery in TN. should be interesting.

 

I'd say have a happy b-day H5KY, but it already has been. Good luck with the lift.

Washed the truck today. She looks perty. She got nothing for her first xmas sadly.

 

Enjoy your 21st, unfortunatly they get less fun the older you get and 21 is probably the last good one. Then you just get old. Ill be turning 26 which I cannot believe. I dont feel, look, or act 26. I guess that could be a good thing.

 

Yeah... after this birthday... i dont need any more.

 

hope everyone has a fun and safe new years!

 

Thanks you 2! Anyone got any big plans?

You a Dad yet?

 

Didn't happen to be in Columbus the other day did ya' Eric? Saw a red(ish) 1st gen with black rims roll by my work a few days ago.

No plans for the evening. Take a shower, dick around on TW. We've never been big into NYE.

 

nope, wasnt me. you are the second person that thought they have seen me driving around this week though. too many red and black tacos out there

 

Happy new year everyone! have a good one! Be safe! wear a condom....

 

So yesterday I did my first serious road test of the new Kumho's and drove up to West Chester to buy some new furniture at IKEA. The experience was fantastic even with the crosswind the whole way. I now know why they were the highest rated tires on TireRack.

Happy belated b-day 500.

No I did not feel the most recent earthquake, but after being in LA in 1994 and sleeping through the 6.7 I doubt that I would have felt it at all.

 

About to wash truck then pics with my new duratracs!!!!

 

Here is my loser self and my truck.














Only one of the truck with the tires on it lol my mom took them.

I'll get more up of the entire truck, here it is the first day I got it.






Got those tires for 300$!!!! Best deal ever!!!!


So far I have had it for about a month.

HID fog's, weathertec digi fits, tool box, duratrac 265 75 16.


Still to come, front windows tint, and billy's and a 1" AAL

then she will be done for a few years.


Edit


Also thinking about blacking out my grills and my headlights not to sure yet though.

 

Also those who use duratracs what psi are you running?
