Thanks Dave@DDMWorks !
I may try reaching out to jri to see if the price is a bit better... If not, will probably do the coil compressor method and live with the scuffs... 🤷🏻♂️

Anything that is 1/4 in o.d. will work. Even a couple of 1/4 inch drill bits but they are a little long. 3 1/2 to 4 inches work better when the shocks are installed. Do not forget to jack the Sling up for the wheel you are working on to take the load off and use 2 ea. 1/4 inch rods or drill bits, it makes it a lot easier without messing up the 1/4 inch holes in the shock adjusting ring.
I used a phillips head screwdriver....Just cut off the head [blunt-it] ........Don't forget to remove the set pin [Allen] all the way and don't over tighten the pin you don't want to damage the rubber tip....
For the price of the JIR's they should have included a spanner ...
When i called Slingmods about that they said its not included ,And that they Slingmods doesn't even sell them..
...Interesting... When we changed the spring out on my rear shock, we didn't have the spanner wrench and had to compress the spring using a rented tool from Autozone that scuffed up the rear spring a bit.
Was hoping not to do that for the fronts so thought a spanner wrench would help.
Dave@DDMWorks , is there a way to get a spanner wrench for jris? The one you included with my springs ended up being for the vikings or twist dynamic shocks. It matched chavey2 and wokka .

Question... Anyone have a spanner wrench for jri shocks I could borrow???
-
Reminds me of that show "My 600lbs Life"... I bet he wears bed sheets since his ass is too large to wear standard pants.
Actually yes... I think they're 305s? Definitely not a standard tire width...
-
Got it. Will do. We can do everyone (except wokka ) at the same time. With 2 people, it'll be a 5 min job.
Yeah, Charles' ass is so big, he doesn't need a belt...
-
Why not? I have it temp ran. You re-do the zip ties on mine.
Perfect. My OCD can be helpful at times.

Installed and tested mine out today. Totally notice a difference right away. I like Sport +1 for city driving and Sport +3 for more spirited driving.
I have a custom turbo with Mefi Burn tune. Can't wait to get more seat time.
I will say the turbo spooled up faster and I was roasting the rear faster than normal.
I'm keeping it that for sure!
Could we try it on my Sling before the Nov. 1st deadline? Maybe wrench day? 😁
-
Yes, the belt does stretch over time slightly. I think I adjusted my 1st one at about 5K miles.
Ooh! Something else for my Sling on wrench day! That's if it's loose... 🤔
-
Oh okay, I checked all three yesterday and assumed it was all liquid for the brakes... I'm not mechanically inclined, but give everything a go and learn from there.
All three seemed to have full liquid. No concerns that I noticed. Maybe the guys will gleam more on wrench day next week.
Wondering how I'll be able to take the Duals and the Sling... 🤔
-
Thanks Phil! Where's the clutch master cylinder liquid?
-
Looks like it needs Viagra... 😜
-
Good news! It's not coolant... At least I don't think it is...
Bad news... The leak seems to be coming from around the transmission!?! The liquid feels a bit "oily" and mostly clear? Anybody have ideas? FunCycle , Slingrazor ? Could it be the clutch?
It seems to be a slow drip and only activates when I turn her on and drive around (or Rev the engine to about 4k rpms) as far as I know.

Since MiM is getting the exhaust, I vote for him.
I'm game if it's warm enough... 😅
-
She's got a great heart!
Hmmm... I wonder from who? 😉
-
Are y'all still thinking here in SA? If so, I should be able to sneak away and hang.
If I could the Welter dual install would be awesome. I also need to rework some wiring chavey2 ...
New issue I got to figure out though. Think I'm leaking coolant? Noticed a small puddle under SS but haven't taken the time to figure it out yet... 😩
-
See? It all goes back to tricled... I never said they wouldn't take care of it, they (or slingmods) usually do...
I was just sharing that their products can sometimes have these effects... 🤷🏻♂️
-
Is that really your GT R? Very nice!
I've got this 4-door GT R (if I were to mod it)...
3.0 twin turbo
-
And now they are on to quads... Yeesh! 😆

Painter is the king of kindness! Slingbryon helped in this too by donating the stock pods. What a family...

Thanks everyone! Had a great day...
