well i had a wonderful weekend. saturday at about 6pm i decided i was going to ride out to summit which is approx 110 miles from my house so probably bout hr and 45 mis if your doin the speed limit. so i figured id have plenty of time bein that i wasnt going to be doign the speed limit lol... well i was makin good timin then i came up on what i thought was the exit got off the highway and realized about 2 miles down the road it was lol, so i turned around got back on and went to the right exit. i get into summit and the kid tells me he has the 2" front lowering springs but he only has the 2"shackles and 2" hanger KIT, he doesnt actually have just the hangers themselves which is what i wanted since i already have the shackles on. so i bit the bullet and bought the kit, im on my way home and about 10 miles into it a cop clocked me at about 88 in a 65 LOL which ended up costin me $125. then im about 35 miles from home and it starts snowin like a mother.. ppl are slidin off the damn road, goin like 30 mph on the highway, it actually took me bout 45 mins more than it was supposed to. then i got home at around 1030 and was like well **** i went through all this trouble, them ****** springs are going on TONIGHT... haha boy was i wrong, who knew it would take 4 hrs to do front lowering springs? (least for me it did) plus not to mention i broke the passenger side ball joint boot on the upper control arm. plus not to mention i still gotta do the damn hangers which i am SO taking the bed off for, i dont even care if you can do it w/o takin it off, im just to that point... sorry for the ranting, ill put pics in the show n shine when im all done wit her

 

damm bill, should of called, i didnt take my bed off at al lto do my shackles, and Mater should have a new ball joint

 

lol i planned on callin ya just to set up a time or something to do the tune but never even got around to it, it sucks cause i dont need the hole ball joint i kinda just need the rubber boot but i doubt you can buy just that. how hard was it to do your hangers w/o takin the bed off?

 

the biggest pain i encounterd was leaving the tank in place. air hammer and the rivets are out in a few minutes of noise. and then its just alittle time. i think we did my rear of truck in like 2 hours both sides. PM mater for price if you dont wnat to do it

 

wait you didnt burn em out or anything, you just hit em wit an air hammer?

 

yep hit the rivets with an air hammer. actually Mater did that part for me. it didnt take us long at all to do mine. like i said biggest pain was mess with the tank. i didnt even drop it just losend the straps to get my hand up in there.
after i was done my parts were given to mater and i thnk he reused them on another frame that had been hit

 

telling you if you wnat good work let JJs do it for ya.

 

ill ask em

 

yep brian and BJ could do it for ya. save yourself the hassle and youll know it wil be done right
