    For anyone in the SoCal area (and beyond, I suppose), Ryan is your go-to-guy.

    He's one stop shopping: very knowledgeable, friendly, hard working, fair, and does what he says he's going to do. He really is a unicorn in today's environment.

    100 points/will utilize his services again.

    Thanks Ryan!

    How often do y'all unbolt and check for corrosion behind these?

    Would fluid film or grease be a bad idea to coat the surfaces in prior to reinstall?

    @ARCHIVE Is there any need to replace reinforce or otherwise beef up the front leaf hanger?

    No, I think they are quite strong, the front don't cantilever off the frame the shackle hangers do

    Just found out about these and added to the list. I'm all about making my ride more comfortable! Have kings with the adjust knob. Those have been great. Noticed a huge difference in the rear when I removed the 3rd leaf on the OME medium leafs. And an even bigger difference when I went from load E 285's to load C 285/75/16 tires. Excited to see there are still other things I can do

    In all honesty, the installation really isn't that bad. There are many people on this thread that created "work arounds" with getting the bolts out and taking off your old hangers.

    IDK if this has been discussed in here but thought i would share. 315 75 16 -12 offset slightly rubs the shock body at full flex. It didn't eat all the plastic logo off. Pic of that flex as well. :D

    Small rear wheel spacer might be necessary......some people with the 12 inch conversion are experiencing rubbing due to the added flex.

    yep i thought about a .25 spacer but i will need longer wheel studs. Im just gonna leave it alone for right now. Its not bad enough that it has to be fixed right away.
