North West BS Thread

I still have my stock blue and yellow Bilsteins, with airbags.
5160's are popular, maybe others can chime in on upgraded rear shocks.

 

I don’t have them yet but have been eyeing the Falcon tow/haul kit that was recently a group buy. Seems like those that have installed them have been really pleased. I am interested in the rear adjustability when towing my travel trailer. Just need to convince my better half that they would be a good investment.

 

I have Airlift bags in the back and they are great when I am towing... They don't seem to do much if the bed is empty... Sounds like I'm going to stop my axle over speed bumps which i equate to the sway bar.

I'll check out the 5160's. Anyone have any thoughts on running the 5100 adjustable for now until I can afford the 6112 swap?

 

I have the 5100 adjustables, see my comments above.

 

So, even in the front, they are pretty stiff? Damn

 

I feel that an ifs lift should be plush. These are not. With all of the lifts up here in the PNW I would ask a member for a ride before laying down the cash on another lift. Your more than welcome to try mine out. It will be out of commission the rest of the week getting 4.88’s and lockers.

 

What's an IFS lift? Sorry, just my ignaaaance showing.

 

Independent front suspension. These 5100’s feel more like a straight front axle.

 

Agree, 5100's are good for a quick and dirty level when you can't stand the factory rake.

 

Exactly what I did. 5100 in front only to get rid of the rake. Feels a Little stiff. I am at the middle setting.

 

Just found this thread. Just saying hello from the dead center of Washington state!

 

I wasn’t going to say anything, but my eibachs seem to be a good middle ground between rough and plush. The have a smooth ride but handle the bumps well.

 

This weather makes doing anything outside....unpleasant.

 

It does. At least it isn't as bad as end of June beginning of July heat wave.

 

I can’t wait for fall. It’s 104 right now where I live.

 

I think it is as bad. Get past 95 and it all stinks!

 

Same, for multiple reasons. App says 99, but bank thermometer says 101. Either way to damn hot.

 

True

 

Seems like our springs and falls get shorter each year. We jump right from winter into 90s then from hot weather to steady rain by late October. I just want a solid 2 months of fall, crisp mornings, get up to the low 60s, light breeze, etc. I like to be able to sit in my back yard on a Saturday afternoon not feel sweat running down every part of my body. The only sweat would be on my ice cold adult beverage.

 

100% agree

 

Hey guys/gals, just poking my head in here to say hi. I live in Newcastle WA, and have a CrewMax being delivered around the end of the month.

 

Welcome!
What trim/ color did you order?

 

Yeah - was 105 when I left work today. At least it was *only* 96 at my house.

 

That was always the best part of fall

 

Welcome!

 

It's a Limited nightshade in MGM with the premium package, sunroof and bedliner. They didn't make me add any of the port option bs, and I got it for MSRP. I'm still not comfortable with paying full price, but in these times I think it is what it is. Puyallup Toyota has been pretty good to deal with.

 

I also have my crewmax coming in the next 2 weeks, MGM Platinum. The anticipation is high!

Also paying MSRP but a market like this makes it feel like a deal. Crazy times.

 

I am so over this summer. I don't recall a hotter summer than this year.
