Been busier than a one-armed paperhanger, so I haven't even had a chance to put the wheels and brakes on and lower it down. The coils will settle in, so the truck has to be driven to determine the final ride height. Maybe Friday afternoon?

 

Speedin Bob: "What is another stupid Skelton idea that will result in massive cost overruns and wasted time?"

Alex: "That's correct, Bob, for $500. And for your bonus answer: "Because he cannot accept that it's just an overpowered farm implement.'"

Bob: "Why does he care?"

Alex: "That's correct."

Bob: "'Wasted Effort' for $200, Alex."

 

That is soooo me...

 

That is soo all of us ...

 

hey tim, did you paint your ruslow springs? if so, what paint did you use?

 

Tim,

Thought you would appreciate the humor. Not intended as a jab of course.

overpowered farm implement....

Bob

 

Spray can appliance epoxy. We'll see how it holds up.

 

let me know, i was considering powder coating, but painting would be a much cheaper alternative

 

Be very careful with powder coating coils springs, as some coaters will heat the ovens to over 800°F. Temperatures that high can change the temper of the metal…

 

UPDATE: The spacers shown will not fit inside either the Hotchkis or Ruslow coils.

They might have a size that fits, but I think that I am just going to return them a trim a bit off of the coils to get a spot-on 17" drop.

 

Tim, if you are looking to sell the AIM adj. spacers (pic u posted) and Tampa doesn't want them still, ill take 'em!
