The plan was to install the leveling kit, but my gut feeling told me this setup was a bit too sketch and I should probably hold off. Instead I buttoned up some ongoing issues with Nicole’s S13. Will it ever end?http://LZMFG.com

PS calipers were not dangling from the lines, they were resting on the tension rod (hard to tell on camera). Thanks for the concern but I'm not THAT stupid 🙂
do u still got the truck i ant seen it in any new vlogs
What is a good engine swap for a peugeot 106 ?
@adam LZ
You should torque the hub nut to specs to prevent an early worn out bearing. I think I have said it before, but you should consider to buy a Haynes (or simmilar) repair manual for your car. Here's a great book for you. It's from Autralia, but it's still the same procedure.

What does hub centric mean Adam?
kelderman air suspension systems look them up
MINT as cars lots of experience in that area of cars
Open garage door and reverse truck?
The truck is too far forward it would work if you back it out probably a foot
Thanks Adam and Nicole for making all the videos. Your videos make me happy after a long hard day. Love the long videos! Keep it up guys. Y’all are aspiring.
Wouldn't drilling a bit of the rim out throw the balance of the rim out versus just grinding the studs down a bit???
why spacers without lip?

Instead of use a 2×4 to hold the hub @ 6:30 use a long flat head screw driver and stick it in the rotor and let that rest against the caliper when tightening or loosening your wheel spacers
Adam I was watching this video and noticed 2 things #1 is that your don't have the extension for the lift and the. Second thing Is that you had the brake caliber hanging by the hose and you shouldn't do that because it can brake the hose or split the hose also it can make a weak spot in the hose
I think you need to be educated on lifts bud. Like maybe how to operate and like what to and what not to do.
Happy to see it hubcentric now
When u replace or take off and put back on the hub. You should always put a chunk of grease before u put it on
You could've lifted it up the front. I've done ton of suspension repair on 3/4 and 1 ton trucks with just the fronts lifted using a two post. Never had any trouble. Also why did you not torque the hub back to spec?
Open the garage door back up the truck about 1-2 feet and lift the truck
Anyone else see how sketchy the car got when Adam was torquing down the spacer?
wont that grinding of the spacer put it off balance?
Yeah Adam just move the truck back out of the garage a little and lift it with the center of balance more towards he front, you won’t be able to go all the way up but I imagine you already knew that. But the truck will be as level as it would be at any shop that uses 2 post lifts
Why does everybody play fuckboi with the spacer game
Be careful using the wood on the stud. I know its holding the hub in place but would hate to see it flaten the thread and cause an issue. I know it will prob notch the wood first but still your gonna lower the car down anyways just snug em up then.
Adam killing the haters with kindness ❤️💣
hey i lift trucks at work everyday and it gets a little sketch, you just gotta send it 😉
Pull the truck out enough to center it on the lift. It will be fine then.
A ford in its natural habitat…..
Pls come watch my crappy Accord build videos
Adam, try to get on Hoonigan with you car!!!!!!!!! How can we make this happen?
adam. i drive an older version of your truck. its lifted. you can do it. open door and move it back, id say 5 inches back and ta-da!! it shouldn't be sketchy. no one likes sketchy. i do but my middle name is chance, so im always taking chances. ok, done ranting bye!
Sup Adam, love the videos and that u are really nice and a good person!! Nice truck too!!😎😎😎😃😃
Could reverse the truck into the garage and try to lift it
Does anyone know what kind of wheels are on Nicole's car?
What's your mvmnt watches discount code?
You don't know sketchy until you've got to add extensions to those lifts to clear running boards and such and having to put them on two different portions of the frame, up in the air with a big truck lol. You sneeze wrong, it rocks, you poop your pants and then it just ruins your day. Just rock it an inch or so off the floor and make sure it's solid. I've not had one accident in all the years i've been using lifts.
A little trick with lug nuts. Put a ziplock bag in the socket and it won't cuff or scratch any lug nuts.
Yes Adam.. do what you described with the truck being partly out of the garage.. do it yourself, learn and save money.. you got it bro
Adam did you get any type of warranty
you should make a video on pro's and con's and how much the hobby of drifting is
I applaud your safety. One thing you might want to keep in mind is to use a carpenter's level. Place it as close to this center of the vehicles, say on the bed rail or on the car's door sill. This would make sure that the vehicle was level. Just a thought. Oh, when you replaced the hub I'm sure that you used a NEW cotter pin. Although you might wonder why an old cotter pin is more prone to break off under hard use and tear into your wheel assembly. I think you're doing a wonderful job. Considering all of the jobs that your doing. Later.
Back the truck in and try lifting it mabye that will worj
Just put blocks of wood ontop of the jack so you can raise it higher
why not have the bed hang out a door a little? it would be less rear heavy
If you wouldve let part of the truck out of the garage, you couldve had the lift farther up on the lift it wouldve lifted evenly. Please understand hpw they work and what techniques work before doing something. Or not have more money than brains. I'm a junior in hs. This isnt that difficult of a thing to do if you're smart enough to use the lift…..
couldnt you open up the garage door and then move the truck back a little to prevent the forward tilt? good luck!
