What I did today, front raptor shocks
I recently took my Raptor shocks to get serviced before installing them on my
two wheel drive 2010 XLT. I went to D,C. Service Shocks in San Dimas Ca..
While I was there Kurt had been working on a pair like mine. He had them apart. I was able to have a look inside and see the spring ring. Kurt was informative and his shop is organized and clean. I asked if he could do the install and he said yes. It made sense because he worked with schocks every day.
Yes he removed my stock shocks which had a 2" lift on them, also removed my wheel spacers, I did not need either. When he installed the Raptor uca and lca and raptor tie rods and end links I didn't need them anymore. I had already changed my fenders with oem raptor fenders. I did not need the raptor spindels. The ride is smooth and major inprovement. He also installed a raptor sway bar. He changed my brake lines to steel wraped and the were 3" longer.
He welded a bracket that utilized a better position for the brake lines.
I had collected the suspension parts over a few months and thought I should
service the shocks before installing. Kurt gets shocks mailed to him all over
the U.S.. kurt is a off road truck person and has fair prices. My truck is a bit
higher even without the 2"lift. It is a narly inprovement not just in looks but the ride is wicked. D.C. Shock Service 626 252-3566 I will post pics later.

Eh just ignore him when he gets like that, I think he gets cranky. Just don't take anything personal, it's just an Internet forum.
He can be an extreme help sometimes, as in I don't know what I'd have done in some situations without the info he was willing to give me or retrieve for me to help out with what I'm doing. And for that, I thank him lol. You just gotta try to stay on his good side and not say anything to hit his nerve.

Geezz , you guys. ... if you would of took a second to comprehend, that was a joke towards wolvee. His truck is clean, VERY clean and nice underneath, - likes to post about that...I would too, I wish mine was.
I suggest you greenies that thrive on starting trouble were there is none, to stop reading into things you obviously don't understand...uknow, take a second, time out or what ever it takes for you to FULLY understand/comprehend.
Like I said Geezzz.

50 states. Free country. Move. Get Uncranky.
Or stay and continue to be an internet tough guy.
You seem smart enough to understand that tone and inflection, specifically with sarcasm, don't carry well in written form, yet you attack with both barrels when someone questions it.
"Necessary?"
That was a question.
You could have simply said, "being sarcastic."
But instead, your cranky default internet ninja attacked my bedliner-job, which I honestly don't give a rip if you like it or not.
Everybody else... have a great night!

Now I understand your predisposition, - as that transparency makes sense.
