Nah. I set the lift at home and then let them do the camber and toe. You must have a competent shop. Because no one around here even knows WTF a torsion bar is.

I guess you could say a found "a guy" then lol I think he drives a lifted F250 or something so he likes working on lifted vehicles

I have to say, the FOURTREKS mounting system is quick and easy for this. Props to them

Well not much has changed, shes gone from a DD to a sitter now that I am commuting to work with my dad.

Did find a nice set of seat covers though :)

Holy crap I thought you died. Heard you went home with it strapped up then you disappeared from the site. Nice to see you back lol.

If those seat covers go missing...I probably took them.

Looking good man! Except the centerpin, that sucks

Good luck friend, I impulse bought them on a FB post on XOR, only $60 for the set.

Eh it happens, when you are at 130k and some parts are still OEM, they are bound to fail at somepoint. My drivers one went last winter, I'm surprised the passenger lasted an extra year

Parts are piling up in the garage, waiting for a set of aftermarket UCA to pop up and a nice warm weekend.

Disaster struck when heading home after a long day of work. Hit a pot hole and the entire front end slammed to the ground. The adjusters ended up stripping Ended up getting a tow home.

Sorry to hear about your low rider, kinda looks like a 70's muscle car, you know with the leafs and air shocks all jacked up in the back...lol. Can you fill me in on the "center pin"? I haven't heard of these before.

Oh! And anyone have any experience with exhausts? Can I find something bolt on or should I just bring it to a shop? It's been hanging off since last summer. I thought the winter was going to claim it

Yeah. Buy a muffler online and take the truck to an exhaust shop. Have them build the Y pipe and tailpipe so it exits exactly where you want it to. I paid about 250 for my entire setup. Welded and done.

Lol, you know I'm done half a$$ing stuff and I figured since my rear leafs are completely flat, might as well do it all right to last me another 20 Yeats lol
