    Lol ultimate is never getting done. On that note I'd highly recommend @Mooseditty17 for his new nexus tune. It's very impressive.

    Looking for a shop recommendation for gears and an ARB locker install. I’ve heard lead time on the ECGS drop ins could be crazy right now and I don’t wanna wait forever. Anyone?

    I’m located in Reno, NV but I’ll travel to central and northern CA if I have to.

    No I just stumbled across a bunch of back and forth on Facebook. Clearly I don’t know how to read. That’s hilarious that I missed that right on the page. I emailed them yesterday, I’ll just call them up today.

    I realize you aren't going into their shop but I was able to quickly get an appointment a couple months ago. Hopefully they can get you set up too.

    Would be awesome if the lead was all BS. I wanted to do it myself and do RCV’s and gusseted spindles at the same time. I’ll report back.

    You'll definitely be able to get an answer with a phone call. Fantastic customer service at ECGS in my experience.

    I called ECGS last week and scheduled my front and rear 5.29s to be installed in two weeks.. Didn't seem to be any real delays when I spoke with them, granted I'm opting for Yukon's over Nitro's so that could be why.

    I can see there being some miscommunication now. I mentioned that I had an order placed with Nitro already, so maybe they thought I was looking for Nitro's? Either way, I'm certain I was told there was a long wait period for both on the fronts. Oh well, I just placed an order for 4.88's through them. The more I thought about it the more it just seems like the right move for me. This way I can scale down a bit for snow tires and not be overgeared. Not that it would really bother me that much... Anyways, Lemme slowly back out of this thread and leave you 5.29 guys alone :) Good luck everyone and thanks for all the help! Even you skeletron :rofl:

    It could also be that ECGS is prioritizing their in shop installs over the mail order business

    Anyone have 529s and and 34s?

    285/75/17 C load ridge grapplers

    Truck is still pretty light, less than 300lbs added.

    Auto with kdmax pro.

    Currently on stock gears, and 265/70/17 tires. Hoping to get a little better performance and similar mileage as it sits now.
