Flsc

So after being a pipe fitter and welder, mechanic , doing flsc was a no brainer.... well i now realize doing them with jackstands suck. Looking back on my career and thinking WOW i have done way worse in crap locations laying in mud getting rained on.

I now know my level of tolerance is exponentialy proportional to either pay or helping someone else!

Re: Flsc

This aint my first day at the rodeo lol. Full tank of fuel jack standa under shock mounts in back and front on coil spring seats (this is how i fit my fluffy self under it anyways ) then added 260 lbs ballast to the drivers seat and worked the suspension to settle it to normal ride height. Just like setting up race cars i have worked on in the past.

Crap, I forgot the 200lb ballast in my seat! I did the same thing years ago and never thought about my weight.
