Hey beachcruiser, dang near, I went with the 650s as well and also opted for the radflos all the way around.

Hey valentin ya the 10th works for me. I'm going to be up in the Sierra's myself that weekend, doing some backpacking outside of Mammoth. Have fun if you go to Yosemite! Really want to go there soon.

That's a kind offer Jeff, I'm down to do it where ever we can all fit.

So 10th it is. Now location? I know we had 2 offers.

sounds good to me. Whoever has the flattest driveway that is willing to host would be great. Any specific tools we need? ive got c clamps for the AAL, torque wrench, breaker bar, beer, socket set, and other common tools.

I've been reading up on the pdf instructions so im hoping we can bang these 4 out relatively quickly and correctly.

You might need a ball-joint separator if your UCA is difficult to separate from your spindle.

Specific to the parts you are talking about installing:  Depending on the year of your truck, you might need to cut the driver's side, aft UCA bolt to remove it (depends on which way it's installed), so a new bolt would be good.  You can also force the steering shaft out of the way to pull this out.  If you decide to cut, you'll need a Dremel or something similar.  I chose to use Dremel to cut the bolt because of the tight space.  You might also need to trim the new center pin for the leafs.  Since you're installing the U-bolt flip kit, there's a pretty good chance you'll need to cut the ABS bracket on the top of the axle.  This will be quick and painless with a good cutting tool.

All I got is a tool kit and I'll bring beer. As since I'm in a secluded place I have no where to store power tools. Atleast if we have 3 rigs with pretty much the same thing it's only gonna smooth out the process. So we shall see. And we have people with experience so sounds like fun. Now who's place tho?

Again you are welcome at my house, I have reasonable space, tools, jacks, jack stands, fridge, grill, etc.  An easy up might help for working outside but room for a couple of trucks in the garage.  1 mile to O'Reilly's just in case.

That sounds good. Let see the others say?

Oh, if anyone is installing LCA eccentric bolts, you'll need some anti-seize.

Ya I'm down to do the installs at Jeff's, sounds great to me. Are those LCA Eccentric bolts the cam bolts that come with the PRG advance kit? If so, I'm planning on installing, will pick up some of that anti-sieze.

Yep, those are the ones I'm referring to. Anti-seize will help when you take it in for an alignment.

Dam my cam bolts still not in. Ima reorder a set. So perfect think we have a mod day set up.

So at Jeff's pad, the 10th time wise?

[beachcruiser]

I've also got a ball joint separator as seen here.


I will probably bring my Shrock front too if we finish with time to spare.

[knightrider]

You dont need one of those, just need a 3-5lb sledge and tap the side of the knuckle

So I am heading out for the Nevada back country today until Tuesday.  I'll post my address next Wed.  I'll have at least 2-3 floor jacks and 4 jack stands as well as a somewhat decent set of tools. (I've done a suspension with what I have)  My compressor is pretty small but mostly gets the job done.  I have never been to any of the mod days so perhaps someone can fill me in on how things normally go.  What time do you start, seems somewhat early would be good in case things take longer then thought.  What is usually done with food.  I have an extra fridge in the garage for food and drink as well as a grill.  Fast food is near by as well.  Are any other "experts" planning on coming?
