Welp I have come to terms and will be doing my coilover and UCA install like a peasant on the ground instead of waiting for lift access. Likely the weekend of 5/16-17 as I think the UCAs I ordered are a few days out.

If anyone is really bored and feels like turning a wrench , lending a hand , or just drinking some free beer or bourbon while I do all the work let me know.

I might be down! Gotta check on a few things but I’ll let you know!

@TheI3lindMan

@TheI3lindMan 3 heads are better than 1!

what coilovers did you go with?

@kevin.gt

@kevin.gt procomp 2.5 s

The value seemed to good to pass up on.

Where in North GA are ya? I'm a sucker for bourbon.

@RustysBronco

@RustysBronco Holly Springs so north central is probably a better definer.

@Rspayde

@Rspayde oh dang I’m right down the road at sixes and bells ferry

Well, you can just tell your better half that you're having a garage party basically. lol! Don't think anything is going on next weekend.

@MadMan4BamaNATL

@MadMan4BamaNATL Yeah I think I just need to get it done. Planning on a tool run to get the axel nut socket, and a few other odds and ends this weekend.

@Rspayde

@Rspayde what’s your plan to torque that rear support bolt? Going to bother with a massive torque wrench?

@kevin.gt

@kevin.gt 24 inch breaker bar and most of 200+ pounds of me should get me pretty darn close to 350

I'll get em to check it when it goes in for an alignment the following week.

My torque wrench taps out at 250

Could loan a tool one from AutoZone if I really wanted to be sure sure.

UCAs should be in tomorrow. My plan as of now is to go the route of dropping the lower control arms and not mess with the hubs or any of the other non sense for the coil over install. I am hoping with the extra hands we can have everything buttoned up relatively quickly.

If you do plan on swinging by next Saturday just PM me and I will get you my address. I will likely get a jump start on removing wheel well liners Friday night.

Let me know if you have a jack? Or need for me to bring mine. This one shouldn't leak like last time.

@MadMan4BamaNATL

@MadMan4BamaNATL I am just going to go buy a jack and stands today or tomorrow.

So I can’t do the Saturday, but if you do it Friday I should be able to come. Got a time frame in mind, or is this a slog through it until its done?

@TheI3lindMan

@TheI3lindMan Friday I will likely just be getting the fender liners removed after I wrap up work around 5 or so (if I don't have to go to Miami for work that is)

May be able to start on the fronts.

Given doing the coilovers and UCAs the jump start could be well worth it.

Well let me know if you want company if not no worries!

@TheI3lindMan

@TheI3lindMan will let you know. If I have to go for work it'll just all be done Saturday.

@TheI3lindMan

@TheI3lindMan confirmed to be in Miami and getting back late Friday so Saturday is going to be the day for it all.

UCAs got dropped off Yesterday and I'm booked for an alignment Monday.

If you plan to come by Saturday let me know.

@Rspayde

@Rspayde I plan to be there

Would love to say hello and meet everyone I haven’t met, but heading to Clayton on Saturday to off-road and camp with some friends

@kevin.gt

@kevin.gt yeah I'm skipping a camping trip to knock this out. Will be one of the last cool weekends I fear.
