what about a cement retaining wall,the kind they use for loading docks?

 

Yeah I have a bunch of tires.
4 with steal rims from my car and 3 offroad tires.
I guess I can try and build a ramp.

sorry guys to many beers forgot tomorrow it Sunday and aint no one open.

 

this ^ totally forgot I used a loading dock for my measurements

 

do we have a winner?

 

I know where one is my work.
its a few towns away.

Should I drive there shockless?
or drive there with shocks then remove them. lol
this was my whole dilemma, I didn't want to drive around without shock..

 

drive there and unbolt at the BPE. simple and easy.

 

any hope of returning them take them off,drive real slow and careful,or leave em on and unbolt them when you get there

 

I have driven short distances without shocks,really bouncey.

 

true, getting them on was not easy and I had the tire off to help.
what a pain.
I will try the tire stack method in my driveway first and try and measure correct!
I just read on eshocks and I bet they will help me out with the right shock...
But I will have to pay for shipping back then shipping to me, then possibly a restock fee.
should have measured myself 1st...

live and learn.

I hope to be back up and running ASAP!
thanks guys
heading off to bed.

 

yeah I am all set..
lol

ok take care thanks for the advice again

 

Do you know anybody that works at a warehouse (or walmart)? Cant u use a forklift to test flex? I see it in a lot of pics. Just another idea

 

good luck, and let us know what happens

 

ok I will.

thanks again

 

my buddy sent me this from his Clayton long arm lift setup.


XJ 5-6" 5100 BE5-A940-H6 15/25 5100 BE5-F166-H0 16/26
XJ 6.5" 5100 BE5-A940-H6 17/28.5 5125 BE5-A465-H8 17/28 *2*
XJ 8.0" 5100 BE5-A940-H6 17/28.5 5125 BE5-A465-H8 17/28 *2*

the 6.5" lift kit looks speced for 11" shocks, but in this setup they do not use stud to eye conversions so I bet me best bet will end up being the 10" shocks but will see tomorrow when I flex.

man I just need my own personal RTI ramp for the future builds.

 

I looked at Skyjacker they have a shock for 6" lift 28.75 ext 16.56 colaps
