NorCal spotted and BS Thread

Best way to fix is remove them and buy some white knuckles. Warren bent both sides up last trip and they were rubbing his doors. I stood on one side and bounced on it for a couple of minutes until it stopped rubbing. I’d try that first.

 

The breaker bar is under the leaf springs and I just bounced all my weight a couple of times at the end of the bar. Easy Peasy.


This is what doctor warren sent me.

 

@Trdwillie14, i might have to borrow such a bar. That's exactly where mine is bent up. The door hits it.

 

I’ve got one I’m in Pacifica if needed

 

I carry one in the back of the Tundra. We could of performed the surgery right there on the trail.

 

White Knuckles rule.

 

@RoninPro

He maybe closer then me

 

got a quote 2595 for coopers stt pro and 17 method 701s install and alignment . But they said coopers don’t make a true 35 it’s a 34 and a half. How is this price anyone?

 

Yes, in 17's the closest to a 35 is 315/70R17. It's about 34.6. Is that price out the door? Does it include certs? Are you getting a spare also?

 

Ok so that’s out the door having the guy move the c/a for caster. Certs and I’m getting a spare in dec

 

Price isn't bad if it includes certs, mounting, lifetime balance and alignment. At best you might be able to get $200 cheaper.

 

Yah like general is 250 cheaper but then it needs to get alignment and I gotta take it there blah blah blah

 

Downtown Placerville. Who dis?

Stay safe out there.

 

Just got back from Fremont. Mark did a great job installing my new Elka IFP shocks, even pointed me to the group buy to save extra money. I'd highly recommend him. Thanks Mark.

The truck rides a lot better now. There is a bit of a bro lean, but I'm going to wait to see if the shocks settle before attempting to adjust.

Anyone know a good alignment shop in the Walnut Creek area?

 

@Dyollp closest is in Burlingame that I would go to

 

I would contact Bryan for an alignment in Milpitas

Try Alignment Services in Walnut Creek. Chris has been doing alignments for 30 years - he knows lifted trucks and can do basic or custom alignments. All the shops in WC that that don't do alignments in-house take the cars to them.

 

After hearing about him from this forum somewhere, I had a BMC and the tabs chopped off my spare tire carrier by Milo at Milogen Fab in Milpitas this morning. Killer work and a super nice dude! Would highly reccomend!

 

Edit: nevermind, these are sold now.


Wanted to give this group first dibs before I put them on Craigslist...
Now that I have new tires, I’ll be selling my stock Michelin 275/65/18 tires. If anyone is interested I’ll do $100 for all 4.
They have ~40%-50% tread left.

Also willing to split these out. Not trying to get a lot for them, if I can help someone out and get some beer money at the same time I’m good with that.

 

The hyatt incline village today

 

i second this, Chris has been aligning all of my cars since I moved up here. He's a grouchy guy, but on point.

 

Just pulled these out. Took a pic of them dirty. No holes any interested local pickup 50 bucks

 

Around 9pm this evening a lifted MGM 3rd gen crewmax made a u-turn right in front of me and then proceeded to make a right turn onto the westbound Interstate 80 onramp in Pinole. You got pretty squirrely while accelerating up the wet ramp ... lol

 

New tires, rims and next just got to put on the Westin bumper anddddddd broke as a joke

 

Ok question for a few on here I got my new wheels and tires they are close to a 35 but with a 17 inch rim. I’m now rubbing but I already have a bmc. Does anyone know if I need to cut more or what to do ? They already moved the wheels forward as much as they could control arm wise to the point of not messing up caster.

 

Where is rubbing? My 35s clear the body mount but were rubbing the front sway. (I have +25 offset wheels.)

Truck is looking good.

 

It’s rubbing on the back of the wheel well. Near the bmc at the bottom. Thanks man it’s coming along. I have zero off set

 

Is it rubbing the wheel well liner? If so, maybe try a heat gun. If it’s the body mount then maybe a more aggressive chop. alignment might help a bit too. (There is a big difference between 0 offset and +25.)

 

It’s at the end so I’ve heated it up pushed it back but at the bottom there’s a lip section it catches on. Not when I’m normally driving but if it’s a little off road and the way I drive it won’t be good in the future

 

Can you trim off the end piece? (I may need to pict to fully understand where it is rubbing.).

Maybe you just need to come wheeling with us so we can evaluate.
