  1. AC springs are around 220# there is a thread or post on the forum where someone had em tested or actually has a quote from AC.

    As far as the OME springs. They are pretty good. If you need more. Get the air bags.

    In the pic I'm loaded down for a 5day camping trip with the family. Held up well. Total droop was not much. Basically made the truck level.

  2. You can certainly obtain the parts from a junk yard vehicle. Coil packs and connectors and wiring. Even the pressure regulators.

     

    I can understand they don't because of the uncertainty of condition. Where as new parts they can garuntee them for a time period.

     

    Of course they have their own mark up on the parts. If you buy them yourself they may just charge a few extra labor hours.

     

    I don't know your relationship with the mechanic. See what you can work out with them. Possible payment plan. Hell if it's a smaller shop. Throw ideas out there? If your available, help them with the phones? Make them lunch for the week they are working on your truck. Sometimes the smallest simple things can really make someones day and sway them.

  3. The only vents for the rear are under the front seats. You have to put it on top and floor to get air to the rear.

    Tint is your friend. As dark as legal or you can handle for the rear and legal for the front.

    *highly illegal, but some places will do a very light 38% or so on the windshield. Not enough to darken, but adds some extra protection.

  4. Heat is your friend on stubborn bolts like that. But using a torch, eh bad things can happen. Otherwise if you have access to a lift. Run the truck, let it idle for a while. 30mins or so, put it in the air and try to bust em loose. Its the front ones your looking to replace correct? If its the rear two after, both sets of O2 sensors, you could use a pipe as a temporary solution, But any DOT or emission inspection will fail you in a heartbeat.

     

    As for just removing them? You think you have codes and issues now? It'll be worse.

  5. As for brake upgrades. Slotted, sure. Drilled? Nah not worth it. I did try some on my 99. First time in mud, major PITA to clean out the rotors. Not good, stay away. As for bigger breaks? Well, there is only one option. That is to install 00+ brakes. Which are slightly bigger diameter. However, along with the rotors you will also need to change out the caliper mount brackets to clearance the bigger rotors. Same pads. Does it work? YES! Downside, can no longer run 15 inch wheels. Must run 16s or larger with proper back spacing to clear the calipers.

  6. At this point remove them and take em to a proper shop and tell them what you need done.

    You could also paint markings on the notch and lower perch inside and just tell them you need the uppers spun to match. Also to make sure they loosen the strut nut to spin it.

    A wall mounted compressor is best for safety here. AC springs have and enormous amount of rate. Very deadly.
