    ^ OME coils on 5100's.

    Unfortunately the spring compressor i had didnt compress the OME springs well enough. Had to give them to a shop to reassemble and they striped the top of my shocks! New 5100's are on order as my truck sits on jack stand for the new few days :(

    Major PITA.

    Got all my CB stuff in today... probably installing in a few days. Also got a confirmation from Richard at Stubbs Welding that my sliders are being shipped tomorrow!

    Should have the lift done tonight! Probably just the front because i got yelled out for having my truck on jack stands this long in my apartment :p "theres no automotive repair" my landlord said :(

    So by the end of the week everything should be on and ready to go, then ill throw up some pics! I can't wait to see the stance :cool:

    Is there anywhere up at hull to even try the sliders out at? :(
