shut up, i kick myself for not doing it when i had it down to the cab and frame.....


I was right there..... And i ended up putting step bars on it that bolted to all three cab mounts on either side.... This was what the truck looked like when i ended up having the bypass.....

At this point if i had a garage, i probably would be pulling the truck apart to do the frame.....

 

If i hadnt had the surgery, and my buddy hadnt decided to leave his wife, id have probably oulled the cab and gotten all the suspension squared away.... He and i decided one night that the truck wasnt leaving his garage until it was all done.. I still need traction bars installed and hd tie rod setup and i want a set of cognito upper control arms with the lower mounts for the dual shock set up!!

 

 

Did you get the other parts?

 

Still need the tie rods, control arms and the mounting brackets for the traction bars to ship..... And i couldnt find any of the pro comp bars used anywhere

 

Oh, like my Hotchkis sway bars...

Then I am walking through the Junkyard one day and boom a Tahoe had them.

Later I called someone that I knew might still have an NOS rear one that never got installed. He already had a rear from a truck that was wrecked in the front. So I found a guy selling a New Kit that was never installed.

And Hotchkis won't play ball on new ones unless I Buy 25 sets...

 

25 sets, what do they want per set?? Funny thing i saw a post from 2011 where atomic had a set he would sell, but i figured 5 years later was a bit of a long time to bother him about them...

 

Well, List price was around $615 last time the were sold... the discount isn't that much. Kind of like a shop buying parts through the dealer...

And I have to buy them out right before they start production.

 

That sucks.... Thats a lot of money to front!!

 

You think?

The bar is the same in the rear but the 2WD and 4WD/AWD Front bar is Different. They wouldn't let me split production either. I have to order 25 minimum of each style bar. So that would be 75 bars minimum... or 100 if I wanted to make them all complete kits...

I know I am going to be stuck with a few kits But Even if I sold them at list price. There would only be like 4-5 kits That Would be free or that I could essentially throw away and break even. And you know it would take a while to sell that many...

I am currently looking into an alternative solution...
