Forgot the crowbar
.

 

As soon as I got home I realized I was missing it. No worries. Probably get more use there than here...

 

I have probably 5 or 6 of these, I will get this back to ya on another day or when ya return to put a lift in that 4R!

 

I'll catch up with everything later on, but here are four guys that really helped me out a LOT today. (HONEST - 4 in the pic)
A huge thanks guys! Home safe and sound - wind made it impossible to tell if it handled normal, and I kept waiting for the shocks to prove their worth. At the corner of my block, OH, there is a difference. It should get better!

Evening gents

Awesome Kurt, hope y'all had a good time despite the weather

 

Tacos, Beverages, blackouts, rain on the roof (NOT us), busted nut, discoveries of LBR's past life, wrong parts, Santa gifts, did I say beverages? We had it all, and never made it to the brewery.
I could have used my chair, because the old guys feet hurt.

 

All in all sounded like a good time

 

Well well, what do we have here @LostHusker


Looks like a nice rig

 

I was waiting for it to show up….

 

Interested to know how much they gave you for it...

 

Good Morning SA! I'm too old for how hard you guys work! My feet and hips are still sore. Since I'm so helpful, I'm a gonna bring a chair or stool next time. I take lots of "sit down a minute" breaks working at home, so that must be the difference.




We did get this done, so thanks everyone and I am thrilled. I will send a message about the rears off today, and see what happens there. I'll go out and get a measurement picture after 80 miles to see the difference. Seems very close to where it was, which would be perfect.

 

Good Morning SA!​

 

If it makes you feel any better @Oldie2007, my back hurts too…

 

Morning Scott - thanks again!

Morning Linwood - I bet! You had quite the day. I just ordered a pizza, watched bowl games, and sat in my chair after I covered the plants, and moved the table. A warm shower this morning helped.

Mikkel and I are both in the MINUS column on our bowl bets!

 

Well, I said I would go out and get a measure....

Old wheels and tires on the 2017 OEM Sport shocks and springs from @LostHusker


And, today we have the Kings (supposed set for 2.5" lift) on the new wheels & tires.


And the alignment, and cam bolt is being set for Tuesday PM at Firestone. They look good to me!




And so, where does the rear sit after the 3 leaf AAL, again?



Which gives me an unloaded rear to front rake of ~1.5", just how I like it!

 

The preload on your front springs is set low, but if you like it the way it is and no rubbing issues then your fine.

 

I'll let them settle in, but the priority I asked for is a comfy road ride. I didn't find any rubs before with the new 17" set up, and I don't see anything obvious now.
If there is a minor adjustment down the road, I'll be happy. Comfort > lift!

 

California Winter in the eastern sierras.
Went sledding and got wet so I headed home early.

Old man emu 3 inch heavy lift getting installed on Tuesday. I’ll post pics !

 

wow ! sweet set up

 

That's some right pretty snow. I remember when I used to like that stuff!
