Not long at all. About 3 days, actually. Should be getting them installed next week, if I can't get my friend to help me do it.

 

[panda24619]

UGH! need to order mine now! maybe next week!

 

[mudryder18]

ok cool, yea that is quick. I am wanting to get them installed before Apr. 9 so that shouldnt be a problem at all. Do you have to get new shocks also or will my shocks that came w/ my 6in. lift be fine?

 

[walnuts4x4]

I'm running the fabtech shocks with a 2 inch spacer and no problems...

 

[panda24619]

you could use new shocks. but no need. you loose a little flex, but only down travel.

 

[mudryder18]

Ok thanks walnuts and panda that is good to know. I just wanted to make sure.

 

[mudryder18]

Ok, so these spacers SUCK!!!!! yea shipping was great and all but they dont fit. I took them to get installed this morning and they didnt fit the spring or the spring mount. I tried putting them on top of and beneath the springs and they just didnt work. And i was gonna have to get new shocks too, they wouldnt hook up.!! IM SO MAD!!!

Seriously? damn... I wonder if it'll be the same problem with mine. I was supposed to get them installed this weekend, but can't due to the transmission problems I'm having.

 

[panda24619]

weird. maybe stock springs are bend different from after market springs??? idk. you could get the metal ones. walnuts has those. so they fit with a lift. just ship them back. and tell them the problems. or sell them on craigslist. or here.

 

[mudryder18]

Ok yea oh well. I really wanted them on before the 9th. But yea ill try to send them back and if that doesnt work ill try to sell them on here.
Also walnuts if you read this, could you post some pics of where and how you mounted yours and a pic of your truck from the side on level ground? I want to see how much rake it has because im thinking i need 1.5in. or 1in. spacers after seeing mine this morning. Thanks.

 

[walnuts4x4]

I have a 2" spacer on the top of my coils... and the fabtech shocks.. I will try and get those pics tomorrow if the weather breaks... been raining lately...

 

[mudryder18]

Ok thanks walnuts, also who made your spacers and where did you get them?

 

[walnuts4x4]

don't know... the spacers were in the expy when I bought it... but I will look in the morning.... I do know they are red and poly... not the metal ones

 

[mudryder18]

Oh ok, alright sounds good.

 

[tallsville]

red poly sounds like daystars

 

[panda24619]

sorry. i just guessed that they were the metal ones. sorry. but yeah sounds like daystar.

 

[mudryder18]

OK so i talked to the company i got the spacers from and they said i was the first person they heard of having problems. So they said i could send them back and they are sending me a differnet set that are poly and they said they should work. So im gonna them a shot once they get here and if they also dont work, the people said i could send them back as well and get my money back.

 

[panda24619]

yeah its a waste of time, but at least not money. they want you to be happy. thats good.

 

[mudryder18]

Sooo walnuts, is it still raining up there or did you forget?
