The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

makes sense. How hard is it to adjust them once installed? Do you need to take them out to adjust them? The reason I ask is I need to tell the shop what I want them set at before install.

 

That's a question for someone else lol. I'm still in the "saving" process of my build. I have seen on here that the strut has to come out to adjust it. Again, not sure if that's 100%. Hopefully someone with more experience with them will chime in

 

You would need to remove the strut to adjust the shock height, you need to compress the spring and move the "set ring" to the new height on the shock and then reinstall.

 

Yes, I did 1.75 up front and am running a 2012 4 leaf pack in back and have 1.25" rake higher in back..............and 50lbs in the bed or a full tank of gas doesn't make it have bro lean either.

 

How's the ride? I'm debating on just billies at 1.75 or billies at 0 and 885 springs

 

So I was quoted 400 for the front 5100 install and alignment all went smooth but the alignment shop could not get the camber adjustment bolts free. The truck is from up north so there frozen. The shop is working with me but hopefully they can get them out. More money for me but it needs to be done right I'm not about to destroy new tired because of the camber adjustments off. I'll try and post pictures of her today.

 

That really sucks, hopefully they can get them free. Before I had my lift installed, I replaced the bushings and bolts, just so I know I could get it aligned.

 

Ya it didn't cross my mind the whole install went smooth though. if worse comes to worse ill probably have to cut them out and get new lowers.

You have a beautiful truck btw It looks awesome.

 

The only reason I thought to do the bushings/bolts was from a thread here. If I didn't see it first, I would have been in the same boat as you. This place is extremely helpful!
Thanks you!

 

Here's my transformation

 

here's how mine sits now 5100s up front set at 1.75 stock rear with 265/76/16 hankook dynapro ATs Might put and AAL in later but not sure.

 

Looks good!

 

Don't ask how much new bushings and bolts were

 

They are expensive. I bought them from the dealer too, and tried to get some discount, but they wouldn't move on the price.

 

I went aftermarket with them but the labor for them cutting out the old ones cost me. In the end for install and everything it was 800 . But she looks good and rides smooth. Sometimes thats how things go down. cons of having an older truck lol

 

Wow, that was expensive. Mine with parts and labor was around $400. It definitely made an improvement with my truck as well. What year is your truck?

 

Looks awesome! Anyway you could grab a side shot if it?

 

That's how much it originally was but it took the. 2.5 hours to cut out the old ones so I was paying more labor on top of parts. I would do without his crap myself but my work sucks up all my time and honestly I'm gone so much every second of free time I'd like to spend with my pregnant wife.

 

It looks nose high some times from the side. I thinks it's an illusion though the whole truck measures level I think it's just the fender shape that throws it off. Also the angle of the picture doesn't help I'll try and get a Better one today.
