Alright if anyone out there has a 2010 screw I would like to know if this mod can be done w/o removing the shocks ? Have heard yes but havent talked to anyone who has actually done it.

Also how far off will my alignment be ? Would I be able to drive it for less than a week
before I can get it to the dealer ?

Thanks

That is exactly how we do it. No need to take the shock out. I'll make a deal with anyone is Socal or anyone who wants to drive to us. I will do the mod for free if you let me video tape it. All the trucks I have access to have 3.0's on them so I need a willing donor.

Thanks

Well,... unfortunately it doesn't. I will be in Las Vegas for the IWCE convention. What about the following week? Are you guys open tomorrow, Saturday? If so, I will call and we can work out the details. If not, I'll call you on Monday. And hey, thanks, this is going to be awesome!

Oh wait, just read your signature. No worries, I will call you on Monday. Hopefully the scheduling difficulty is not a deal breaker?

I just got mine done, after install of some new Methods and Toyo M/T's, all I can say is, I wish I didn't wait a year to do it!!! The truck looks much better, a little floaty on the road, but not bad. Haven't taken it on the dirt yet.

mid perch mod

ok I did the mod this weekend. the left side went pretty smooth now the right side on the other hand WOW. mind you I did it with out taking the shocks out of the truck I had to compress the right side 3 seperate times trying to get them to compress enough and then the spring would drop down and start to spin so I had to take a prybar and put it inbetween the shock and the clamps to hold the springs then I had to use a pry bar to hold springs up to move the ring up but after some fighting and cussing I got it done and I'll get the alingment this weekend. all in all I really like it but I did think it might be a challenge getting it out of the garage lol
