Chris' T4R Buildup

IMG_1121.jpg~original

haha, something is missing in this picture and I know just what it is..
 
Got my new Old Man Emu 882 Coils + 90004 Struts + Top Plate Spacers installed. Old struts were completely worn out. Truck is now finally leveled out and rides a lot better due to the new struts and coils that can handle all the front weight better. Detailed it all up today with a 4 step buffing. 2 Stage Meguairs Ultimate Compound, 1 Stage Zaino AIO, and finished it off with a pass of Zaino Z-2 Pro. Took almost all of the Stone influenced scratches and swirls out. Will take some daylight pics tomorrow.

Nice Chris, did u have trouble getting the spacer on with the 882s? wat size spacer did u get? i bought some 3/4" ones and never installed them bc i couldnt get them on when i initially installed my 882s so they are still unfortunately sitting in the garage and i want to get them on eventually to even out the rake from the 9 wraps.

They are the 3/4" ones that I had before on the 881 coils. The left side wasn't too hard to get on, just had to put a bottle jack on the upper control arm to make the suspension droop all the way. The passenger side was a total ***** though. I had to put the bottle jack in first and make it at full droop, then slide the strut assembly in, and then use a pry bar and screw driver to line up the bottom bolt. Got it all done though. Rides a little firmer with the 882 and top plate, but the leveled look is worth it to me.
