    Adjusting the preload is how you change ride height.

    Like @vorkuta775 said, jack it up to unload the spring, WD40/Silicone the threads and go to town with the spanner wrench. I just did it with ADS Coils on my Tundra.

    If you have a spring compressor, compress them on the ground then jack it up. Takes a lot of the preload off making them easier to adjust

    Just got a hole in the sidewall of of one of my 265/70/16 Duratracs... Couldn't have come at a worse time as I'm currently in the process of getting my Tacoma ready for sale =[

    Long story short I'm just going to bite the bullet and get a new set of 4, put one of the 3 remaining good ones on the spare, and put the other 2 used ones up for sale locally on CL. Get in touch if you want one of the used ones (or if you want to buy the whole truck).

    Interested in a set of 4 265/75/16? If your just go into unload it these have decent tread. There is some chunking on the tread and the sidewalls are a bit scuffed but these will get it rolling.

    What are the actual details on these? “They work” isn’t gonna cut it. Batteries have a life span. Whats the manufacturer date stamp say? What size are they?

    I zoomed in on the photo so you can see that information. I apologize that I am not a lithium specialist. I will check for a manufacture date. However, batteries are in good condition.

    @Wu tang, here's some info that may help with the date code on those batteries.

    more info here however, the operating temps are bit worrying for NV. 33f , battleborn batteries op range are in the single digits for cold operating temps. Def would stand up against the chilly NV desert. These would be good for home solar, maybe a RV, still many good reviews, overall very positive feedback. be curious to see how they hold up

    anyone want a giant ass weapons crate? pelican 1720 can fit 10 ar-15 rifles. And the foam has never been molested. latches are all intact, wheels, seal is great and there are no holes drilled anywhere.
    asking 200 bucks.

    A couple pics of the craziness that went on last night. Buddy heard loud music and then something else. Turns out the something else was someone stealing a fire hydrant..o_O Oh, that someone was probably a neighbor, as those marks in the road lead directly to and up onto their driveway...
    This morning there was vehicle plastic and debris everywhere and down the street. Don't know how this thing didn't hit any vehicles as it clearly was flying all over the place
