yea b ut the c-clamps went great!! it was the coils that ****** me

That to me is just as scary as the truck falling, let a torsion bar go and your ******, period. hopefully the arm heals well, but next time no c-clamps please.

This happened to my dad on th side of the freeway changing a tire a couple years back. He was out in the middle of no where with no reception so he had to finsh changing the tire and drive him self to the ER lol.


Sucks about the arm bro. Also if you need some help getting it done tomorrow id be down to come lend a hand.

my hands tingled seeing that pic....i don't wanna lower mine now...that's my worst fear! the second is the truck falling on me and me being alive and my wife not knowing how to use the jack to get me back out.

Just looking at the picture of your arm makes me

Dude..... are you kidding me?????? WTF! On the rear springs???? WOW. I've pulled me at least five times with a $26 2 ton jack from walmart and a 4x4 for more hight until I bought a proper jack. The one in the pic look like it goes to 19-20'' how didn't you have enough height? Anyway that sucks ass and looks like it hurt a lot......damn, that is really ******. Really sorry to hear that, at least you can still drive'r once you get your arm and truck screwed back together.....

Still not sure how you managed to do that, did you jack it up from the rear or the frame in front of the rear wheel? I can see if you tried to jack it up all the way in the back where it was sitting like 5'' higher not having enough clearance but not if you jacked the frame in front of the rear wheel.......

yea i was jacking it from the rear so i could do both at once, like i said... my mistake was not being patient. Had i been more patient i would not have made such a stupid mistake

Damn bro. Like everyone else said, lucky it wasn't your head or anything worse. Good luck on the surgery and recovery man.
I always use jack stands, and if I don't need the wheels off the ground, I use my ramps.
As for your neg camber, adjust the keys where you want the front to sit, then you can loosen the bolts to the upper control arms and pull the arms outwards to get it closer to spec until you get it aligned.

sweet man, the neg. camber is rediculous!!!

GAWD_DAYYUUUUMM!!!!

Holy Shit Ty, thats ****** up. Hope you arm surgery and healing goes well man. That seriously sucks.

 

[tybardy]

[Modded]

Sorry about that, worst part abou this is when i lowered my Tahoe I was about go without jackstands too, but then realized they are only $25 so I might as weell be safe!

Lmao you goofy bastard. My old roomate once pulled an airline on a bagged c1500 and it dropped on his head, lucky he's alive and didn't suffer any side effects. Stay safe there broctopotomous
