    Mantras that we live by.

    Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

    No good deed goes unpunished.

    Nothing every goes correctly or easily.

    Confirmed with TC this morning(7am Cali time) that 1.25 is the correct sizing for LT. "Parts Guy" found some already this morning
    and "Next Dayed" em so we'll see what happens. Messaged shock vendor as well to see if ADS wanted to do the same.

    So maybe it'll be a race to see which gets here first. FFS.
    Least I should be able no knock a bunch of the other little stuff out while waiting. Maybe.

    I'll probably fit them with one on or something....set preload last night. Still gotta....
    Clean front skid
    Brake lines and my favorite....bleed brakes
    Run ABS wires
    Install limit straps and reservoir brackets
    Tighten everything and double check everything
    Probably trim up some

    Also most likely do something for the 2nd, 3rd, or maybe 4th time.

    Parts procurement is getting to be a real pain in the ass. Some of the hoops I've jumped through today
    is some shit I've never seen personally......getting scarce. All I can say is make sure you have absolutely everything
    before you start anything at this point.

    It certainly isn't what it used to be, but it's amazing how much it feels like they keep us in the
    dark on the back end. Customers will come ask us shit that I've heard absolutely nothing of....

    My only method of staying ahead of our parts dept and service reps is Intel gathering from TW, 3GR, FB, and randos across the way

    Hope companies learn their lesson and stop producing everything outside the states. Wouldn't have supply chain issues if the supply chain was local.

    How's it going sir?

    Yes, but getting people to not complain about the somewhat more premium price they will have to pay some people will never stop complaining.

    Update, we have new spacers.
    One vendor is coming through great, while another has convinced me to definitely look to them as a last resort.

    Been making these kinds of adjustments with parts stores for damn near 20 years at work.

    Yeah.... And even stateside production is suffering as raw materials come from a lot of different places. For example, Toyotas having issues getting CV axles made in any kind of bulk amounts, and the quality on CV boots is getting lower and lower.
