    Thanks a lot man!

    I'm sorry I was of no use! I got home and went straight to sleep... I didn't know I could get so tired doing almost nothing :anonymous:

    I will say I definitely noticed the ride quality on the way home. (Something I didn't think I would notice)

    Overall couldn't be happier with your work

    I'll send updated pics this week if I can finally choose a wheel/tire combo!

    Yes sir! 3.0's were massive in comparison to the 2.5's . . . much more girth. Finish was great as always, typical of them to have a nick here and there due to handling. Funny enough there was missing hardware but thankfully i was able to source extra nuts belive it was 1/2 - 20 thin nylock nuts that i needed. Got thicker ones worked fine. Easy install throughout the night . . . hardest part was the typical compression of the shocks to fit into the shock hole of the new mount. Just need to muscle it up into the pocket and use a punch to line things up. (Rear Shock)

    Biggest question is the ride . . . . . literally clouds man

    IG: Mr.Pimp_Squeak: Dun Dun Dun the holy grail of OEM Bolt on shocks finally being installed on a customers rig. These Shocks are just rad to be quite honest. Super beefy and the ride is what you would expect from a shock that cost nearly as much as my schooling :rofl:. Well everyone enjoy the photos, customer was stoked. Only hiccup was missing hardware but thankfully lowes had the nylock nut i needed. Not sure if it was due to packing error or etc, Ran around town and found it so :anonymous:.

    Chu got my truck outfitted with new Fox 2.5s and HD leaf pack. He was incredibly thorough and professional. Very happy with the quality of the work. I would certainly recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable installer for suspension. Thanks so much Chu!

    TW: Junior trd: Ran some fox shocks on this setup and they ride great! However, ill be blunt they need to up the "quality control" involved with the sticker placemnt and the way the front resi's are setup, lines seem way to long. Besides that some cases the lower shock bushing & sleeve have to be pressed out and swapped. Overall though they ride great so thats what it comes down to :thumbsup:.

    Bot just installed some Fox TRD Pro shocks along with SPC UCA’s and a 3 leaf add-a-leaf on my 2014 DCSB OR. He did an awesome job. Very professional and even better on his availability. Pick up and drop off went smooth and he even provided a loaner truck. If you’re in the area and looking for a very knowledgable and thorough installer then he’s your guy. Definitely reach out to him.
