Agreed. I would order the preassembled strut and spring. Otherwise, maybe take it to a vocational school or a small shop and tip a kid to swap em out for you with an actual spring tamer. It’s only 1 nut but those cheap spring compressors are a time bomb. Wouldn’t want to take one to the face before your hunt.
They are popular for a reason.
Yeah that's also true. If you get a good AM assembly though, they're pretty decent. Moog makes pretty good suspension parts, always had luck with them.
Have put a lot of moog ball joints and tie rods in without any premature failure issues.
Only once? You're lucky. I've ditched schwab so many times it's laughable, but no where else that's still in business is any better, and, and this is the real reason, they are a 2 min walk from the office. Convenience cannot be ignored.
Like my grandpa told me one time after he heard I got back together with an ex - "never take a second bite of the same shit sandwich."
Ole gramps never got arthritis from snappin' radishes then... after a while that sandwich doesn't sound too bad.
If it breaks can you limp your ride home? Yes - go cheap. No - upgrade.
Oh I was thinking with my radish, for sure.
What vehicle and primary use?
honestly, I don't know.
Um... tundra, hunting. Which is probably mostly long highway miles with then some mountain miles. I've generally been pleased with the orig setup, but maybe I don't know what I'm missing. I like that 180k and it's still functional, even if it's rough as shit. I do like durability.
I'd probably do bilstein 5100 or 4600 I really like the ride of the 5100
I think he went with eibach. but recommended the same place. I was really thinking those bilstein 5100, but there like a grand for the pair.
He got the eibach pro truck. It rides damn nice, I’m leaning that direction whenever I wear out my stock TRD struts.
