You're My Boy, Blue Build!!

Thanks for the help man.

 

Update: Leaf pack shipped Friday and will be here this Friday Also, I will be picking my wheels and tires today around 3:45

Alfuh: Unfortunately I will be busy Friday and Saturday, but if you think we can knock out my lift working on it all day Sunday just the two of us, ill buy some beer and pizza for us and we will bust out the lift. Let me know

 

this sunday sounds good to me, what time were you wanting to start, if I end up waking up early enough we can start in the early AM and it takes me about 45-60 min depending how fast I drive to get to Pcola. I appreciate the offer for the beer but I'm not legal to drink for another 8 months hehe

but ya, lemme know what time you want to start and I can plan accordingly to wake up and we can get this knocked out, it shouldnt take all day I dont think since this will be like my 3rd time installing suspension parts. do you have any bigger jack stands like 6 tons? we'll need some good size ones to hold the rear end up high enough to get it done

 

Perfect. I will shoot you my cell number and we can touch base via text to make sure Sunday still works for us over the weekend. Yeah I usually am up around 9 or 10 but we can start as early as you want too. I only have one 2 ton jack and two 3 ton jack stands. Ill check with my neighbors and see what he has available. Will a 2 ton jack work? Ive used it a few times on my truck but it doesn't go up real high and the stands don't get as high as we may need is my only concern. Sweet I was wondering how many lifts you had done. I did the rear on my old truck and haven't really ever messed with the front end besides putting spacers on. I will have to get a coil compressor from Advanced Auto parts that they loan out unless you have one. We will need to swap the top hats from my new assembly to my 885s and billies during the install. Worse case with the stands ill purchase some new 6 ton ones before we meet to complete the lift.

 

These bad boys came in yesterday

 

Thx to Alfuh for all the help yesterday!!! We ran into some issues with the LR UCA washers not fitting and had to figure out how to squeeze it in. PAIN in the ass took 4 hrs for one front side, needless to say I will attempt and get the driver side done this afternoon. The rear went in smoothly, but did have a slight leak on the reservoir shock when we were tightening the top bolt. It doesn't seem to have affected the stance and seems to be level in the rear. Was this just from the reservoir or what as I am not familiar with the ICONs and what that was? Any help with what that might have messed up would be awesome. Pics will be posted soon. Thanks again Alfuh!!

 

Details?! Are those Konig Sixshooters? I love them!

 

Yes sir they are!!

 

Well they make my dick hard!! Damn good looking wheels!

 

Might need to grab a set if they do all that!! Thanks man

 

I'd love to! They're just so expensive

 

Yeah they are pretty pricey, I got lucky and found a guy on here selling the wheels and tires together

 

Damn... I'm gonna probably have to order new

 

Nothing wrong with new Oh and with my new leaf pack and flip kit. I have no vibs at all

 

im jelly of those konigs, I think the counter steers are the same just in 16s which is what I want and with no center caps . so did you manage to get the rest of your lift installed

 

Hey! Looks great! Nice lookin combo you got goin on. Does the u-bolt flip kit help with not having vibes or did you put in a cb drop or shims?

 

oh forgot to add this to my last post, no problem justin, I had fun helping install what we managed to get installed lol, really sucked that those washers werent even supposed to be with those UCAs. If we knew that from the start, we could have finished it so much sooner

the ubolt flip allows for a little more ground clearance underneath, usually with the APs from what ive heard, a lot of people dont have problems with vibs with their leafpacks but some do, I just happened to be one of them that needed the shims/new ujoints

 

Ohh, alright. And I agree, every truck can be different

 

Thanks they do set the truck off pretty damn good. Nice!! I got that one center cap finally put back on this morning and had my alignment and balance done as well. Steering wheel is a bit shaky, so will probably have Toyota do a road force on them in 1500 miles and get them balanced perfectly. Yes sir the lift is all done and did the CMC on the driver side, still need to do the passenger, along with cutting more plastic so nothing rubs.

 

Thanks!! nah the u-bolt flip kit is mainly used to keep from getting hung up on the bolt that normally hang down. I didn't do a cb drop or shims and have a very very slight vib from 0-10 other than that it rides great.
