My UPS guy knows to hide the expensive packages and leave the cheap ones for the wife to see.

We went to high school together, so that helps.

I got a black steelie about a month or two ago, came in one of those bling bling boxes, you know the $1000/each spinning rims, and he built it up w/ my wife like that was what was in the box. She almost killed him and me!

Made me show her the receipt and the rim!

In fact, I got some stuff today...the bikini top kit...gotta love getting mods in the mail!

Say goodbye to your wallet Lee!

So those just replace the old stock springs and give you an inch of lift? That seems too easy to be true.

Do you have to replace the springs? And what would happen if you didn't?

The reason most likely is the demand is exceeding production of course and they're custom made in Germany by H&R and PP is the only outlet for these springs so a wait isn't unusual but well over two months is a bit long.

lee:

where did you end up getting the wrangler MT/Rs? i am hoping to move up to a set of those before the fall/winter (my current shoes are really easy to spin; quite the accomplishment for the 3.slow...)

i was looking at sullivan tire, too and was wondering about the price. i am going to upgrade to 25mm SAW tbars at the same time and switch over to aisin manual hubs, too. (the mod disease in true form)

congrats on your new components!
