    I have had other things I have needed to do... Spent all day yesterday working on my boat trailer brakes to find out I need a master cylinder, brake shoes, and wheel cylinders. I cannot wait to get the bill for this.

    Either day works for me. Anyone else interested?

    5100's w/ an AAL seems to be the best combo! The only problem I have had is my rear leaf pack is shot and need to be replaced even after my AAL. I was planning on doing air bags or a leaf pack but after yesterday I wont have the $$$ for a while.

    I forgot but who gives us the best deal on here?

    I know there is a guy who sells the entire set up.

    How much do full leaf packs run? My leafs are not good at all.......

    I have the toytec front spacer with the aal In rear. And I'm very happy with it. Toytec even said that the spacers get a bad rep on here but they actually run them on a lot of their own personal trucks and love them too.

    ok so i have noticed something that i am not enjoying since the lift, after settling my rear is lower than the front. i have been looking for awhile and i am sure that the rear leafs may need to be re-arched or possible replaced. i know that down the road i will be looking to replace my UCAs and that total chaos recommends deavers. so my question is does anyone know what it costs to have leaf springs re-arched? if it's going to be to close the the cost of the deaver pack (229.99) would you let it go until it's time to buy all the parts for the new lift?

    This seems to be a common problem. I just took these pictures and posted them in another thread. It seems as if my AAL is taking all the weight and from the way it looks my leafs are bending after the AAL. I would just go ahead and get the new leaf pack. B/C its probably going to do it again.

    Quad runs great. Put a KN filter in, still was running bad. Took the lid off the air box. RUNS PERFECT. So its getting too much fuel, so probably going to lean it out, or buy a HMF slip on exhaust for it.

    Lift, not yet. Sitting under my bed. Im still debating on puting it on, and putting 5100s to 1.75 lift. Or just buy Eibach springs, and have a better riding lift.

    So just debating on the lift, and it will be going on as soon as I decide.
    I almost purchased the front springs the other day, but decided to back out.

    But its not cause Im lazy, least Im doing it. :D

    Do you have some good tools?

    Air tools?

    Anything I need to bring?

    I'm about to get a GOOD setup from a guy off here.

    Leafpacks for the rear! (YESSSSSSS) with a AAL

    Some OME Coils

    And I'm going to order my billys soon as I confirm everything.

    Where can I pick up some taco lean spacers?


    Anything else I need to grab or you can think of?

    Do you drink? If so I'll grab you a 12 pack or case. (I dont drink)

    Think I'll need a diff drop?

    No air tools but probably any tools we would need my parents have and thats where were would go. I would try downsouth motor sports or Toytec for all your parts. They have treated me well in the past and always had everything I needed.

    Anyone else interested in coming?

    I'm know how to do the back but haven't ever replaced the front 5100's and honestly have no idea how its done. Maybe someone will be interested in joining that has a little more experience.

    And I forgot, yes I like beer. Miller Light/Bud light either or.

    5100's all 4 corners, front at .85 with Eibach Coils, Rear TSB w/AAL, TRD Catback Exhaust, AFE Pro Dry S, Duratracs, redline hood struts, maglight mod, weathertechs
    I did my front/rear 5100's myself, it's not to bad. There are definitely things I'd do differently than when I did it the first time.

    I have eibachs and rear AAL to install but with gas prices I'm not sure I want to travel that far from columbus. Plus my tires may not like the return trip with messed up alignment.

    That said my gf's rents live in Cinci so may be able to make a weekend out of it. If this gets set up, I'll definitely consider it if the dates work/I'm welcome.
