When next wrench meet?

Hey guys just ordered my 5100's front and back and was wondering when the next wrench meet or if someone would be nice enough to help me. Also I need to order an AAL which brand is recommended?

 

I think most people are running the wheelers or toytec AAL. I have no idea when the next wrench meet will be. Maybe when it cools down a little.

 

it's friggin hot. when do they come in? i can help on a sunday or monday. i was just talking with scotts taco loco about a meet yesterday, he's got a light bar to install.

 

They come in on Wednesday. Haven't ordered the AAL might just go with a level ride until I do. That might be good this weekend, right now playing everyday slow cuz the wife is about to pop. Does oreily's rent spring compressors?

 

yes they do, though when i did mine we didn't even bother with it. took our springs down to ntb off 518. tech named charlie can compress them and swap shocks for $40. he knows what he's doing, he's helped us with 3 trucks already. the aal is inexpensive and toytec can ship them quick. it's be good to get it done in one day while you have the help.

 

Well ordered the AAL.

 

1.5" or 2"?

 

1.5". Baker how long did you wait before you did your alignment? So far Sunday would be the best if we do get together.

 

Well I am waiting on Charlie at NTB to put my coils together then I just need to reassemble. Did the rear last night. That went easy except for a C clamp that exploded on me and caught my axle with my shoulder. Will post pics when done.

 

decide to go it alone? working now, else i'd stop by.

 

Well I just got done after a ton of yelling curse words. Will take to get it aligned in the morning and take pics afterward. I set the front to 1.75 and the AAL in the rear plus I have the TSB so it left a little rake, but I wanted that so when I have a load in the rear or towing a trailer I would be facing the sky. Charlie at NTB also said 2.5 would make me sway at high speeds. He knew right away I was with you guys.

 

well, ntb couldnt ever get my castor settings right on my truck with 1.75 up front. castor is at 1.0 and should be closer to 2.6. my truck wanders a bit at high speeds. when you get yours done, let me know how your castor is.

 

did it fix your slanted wheels \----/?

 

yes, camber and toe are fine. just the castor is off. doesn't effect tire wear.

 

I need to paint my wheels to. I hate the chromy look.

 

Here are a few pics.

 

how did the alignment go?

 

Alignment went good I guess. I havnt had it past 50mph so I can not see if it is gonna get shaky.

 

damn, I totally missed it. Sorry guys. Truck looks good!

 

You didnt miss anything. I did it on my own due to scheduling. I was more worried about being in the middle of it and the wifey going into labor, but thanks to the big man upstairs that didnt happen. Kinda wish I waited on my tires now, i woudl have got the 285/75s.
