Haha are you going 4
35's with that kit?

 

negative... there is no gain for me to go to 35"s it is only 1" more ground clearance and a whole lot of unnecessary extra weight.

 

Yeah they look really badass though haha

 

ha function > looks.. looks = money i do not have

 

Yeah I hear that. Why'd you go 3.5" over the 2" kit

 

Hurry up!!!!!! Hahahaha

 

Subd

Can't wait to see this truck in person after you're done with it.

 

why not?
no real reason to be honest.

 

got one side 85% done, cycled it, have to do something about the bump stop since the spindle bolt hits the inner fender before it compresses the bump stop.

going to wait until the coil overs show up to mount limit straps and figure out the bump stop issue.

hopefully ill get the other side buttoned up today and wrap everything up by thursday. pictures to follow

 

droop...

bump...

Can't wait to see this thing on the ground!

 

coil overs and shocks arrived today from Downsouth Motorsports...
got the rears mounted and tires put back on.


should be picking up my CV's tomorrow at some point, once they are installed, then ill bolt the coil overs in and drive it out of the garage for a few pictures.

 

What CO's did you go with? And what rear setup?

 

Coil overs are 8" 2.5 King's with compression adjustment knobs and 700lb springs. will have to get back to ya on valving.

rear is King OEM bolt in 2.5 resi shocks with compression adjuster and extended rod ends. OME leaf springs.

 

Nice man. I will probably get Icons when I get my kit but I dont know if theres too much difference. Are the rears 10"?

 

i can go get ya shaft length measurements in the morning, but i want to say it is around 9" shaft length?

for bolt in leaf packs you are maybe getting 9-10" travel from what ive seen, so dont need a 12" shock or anything.

if i ever go spring under, ill probably do a cantilever setup with 10" or 12" shocks. but ive also tossed around the idea of doing a non traditional 3link/panhard bar setup and just running a coil over off the axle.... time and money will dictate that

 

Yeah. Ive heard that with the Expo leaf packs that they will yield more travel with a shock relocate kit and a 12" shock. A few guys have done it on here that ive seen. I want a TC 2" kit so bad, I like the kit you got but its too wide haha.

 

ha ya, i measured the rear end once i got it back sitting on the ground. with SCS F5 rims, 285/75/16's and spidertrax spacers, its about 77" wide if im not mistaken?? front will be maybe 82-83" could be completely wrong as im not sure where my friend was holding the tape measure.

 

Nice man. Sounds about right. Stoked to see this thing back on the ground. You still in Summit County ?
