Christmas Came Early

Decided to treat the truck (myself) to a present a couple weeks early. As soon as it's not 12 degrees outside I'll install them. Any tips or tricks?

I'll be glad to have some strong ball joints in place.

get um powdercoated black or something. As for install there is no way to install them without taking the coilover out, i tried. Those who say it can be done are crazy. other than that its super easy just take off the tie rod from the spindle and swing the spindle out of the way, unbolt the ca from the spindle, remove the coilover, unbolt the stock ca and bolt in the camburgs. repeat in reverse.

I can get to the UCA bolts with my C/O's. Those with stock struts up front can't get to the bolts. That's the problem. I've got room for days with the smaller diameter coil. Knock on wood, I don't think they'll have to come out. As for the black, nah...I like the color.

I'll give you a hint. They are a one off build custom built for my truck. However, I plan to have the shock bodies painted white.

As for the UCA's, they weren't cheap.

Ah, Mr. PimpRohr I see you have been busy while I've been gone.

Truck looks better than ever buddy, I noticed you finally decided to pull the trigger on the Amp steps, I told you they were worth it.





P.S. = And Stealth, when the hell did they let you become a moderator!
