That hurts Keith

Sorry.....

That hurts Keith

Yeah, Keith is a doucher.

The U-bolt flip is good for a little extra clearance but might not be worth the effort for a mall crawler. So you opted out of cutting your own pads for the leaf springs?

Mall crawler? Now who's a douche

Easy killer, it was just a joke.

Wheelers had them for $1 each. It was easier and cheaper to get them premade. I prefer the Outback for the mall except on extreme shopping trips.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Thats a hell of a deal! Much better than $6 ea.

 

[jdmcq]

Heck yeah. I told them what I was doing and the cost issue and that is what they offered. I have always been impressed with their customer service.

X2...... Now lets see some building


If you need a hand I'd be more then willing to help out. A second set of hands can't hurt when messing with the leaves even thought I know you can DIY it.

Does maintenance count as building?

I will let you know when i decide to do it. i will probably do the front one weekend and the rear another so it doesn't chew up all of my off-work time.

I had my mechanic replace the drivers inner tie rod with a new Moog problem solver unit. Everything else is good. Going for alignment this weekend.

Inner tie rods inside the rack? I'm not messing with my rack just yet. I might buy a used one or get the inner tie rods and the $30 rebuild kit. Not sure yet. All depends on time/money & the guy who has the extra rack siting in his garage :spy:

I got the new uniballs yesterday. Didn't work on the truck, but we did put a fresh 585 in this last night:

You should see the other bay and the section in the back for the race trailer and tow vehicle.
