Roxspin72's BUILD...

Haha... After all the scrapes, bumps, and bloody knuckels I've been through, I just thought I might as well share the build. Im beat. But hey, still looking forward til saturday...

 

for the 285s to fit you just had 5100s up front and AAL in the rear right? how much trimming did you have to do?

 

Currently have stock Coil/shock set with a readylift spacer. It fit with some basic trimming of fender well, and removal of mud flaps. After a year, they settled, and are rubbing on turns, mostly reversing.

So I purchased the 5100 & 5125's. Will be running 5100 set to 0 with 3" top plate spacer up front. And TSB + TSB AAL w/5125's in the rear.

I know the spacer is a bad idea, but all I've been hearing with C/O set's: Dont set them higher than 2.5" or your ride will suck. So why spend $800 plus dollars on a C/O to run them at a risky hieght.

I will run these for now, until that RCD 4.5" set is making more of a name out there

 

WP Pulley & Alt pulley installed, WP/P took 10mins. Alt took about 45ish, need impact gun:


5100's up front/5125's Rear:


Toytech TSB AAL/ Diff drop/ Ext. U Bolts


5100's up front, still need the diff drop. Was originally supposed to run at stock setting, and slap on Hodges 3" top plate spacer, Holy crap that would not fit. Could not get the UCA back on the spindle, and when put back on tires, my truck was sitting at more than 4.5" of lift, LOL...: So what you see is what im runnig til sagging begins


Rear TSB w/AAL, & 5125's:



Before install was running Readylift 2.25" level with rear TSB done:


After install, Billies set @ 2nd from the top for now. I like the look rides great and clears my 33's completely. If springs sag anymore I will raise it to highest setting:




Still to come:

And unfortunate need to swap to a Pipe Bomb set up.

 

Looks good, Nice work

 

+1 looks great! How do you like the pulleys? I ordered a full set just like what you have. They ship out tomorrow.

 

Pulleys are great. The Alt install was not that bad. Go to XRunderground for the write up, came in handy.

Enjoy, and PM me if you have any questions...

 

Figure all this modding, and I aint got no Pics. I think Im gunna go for a cruize this weekend and get some on & offraod shots. Here are a couple to start. These are from my cell, will have dig cam next time:
Need to work on some good Articulation shots:


Plain & Simple:

 

your truck is coming out very nice! keep up the sexy work

 

Yeah, I definately need take you up on that. The billies front and back made driving my truck a whole new type of fun...

 

Tube Steps Linex'd:

 

looks awesome bro

 

+ 1 looks great!

 

truck is coming along nicely. quick question though- did switching from readylift spacers to bilsteins raise the front higher. i currently have the readylift also(2.25 lift) and want to go the 5100's but i'm worried that i won't achieve the same lift.

 

Here is with Readylift:


And W/5100 @ 1.75:


Dont know why, but yes... It's a higher lift...

 

It will settle. Just give it a little time and a few miles.

 

Oh come on Neubs, don't rain on the guys parade. j/k

Ride looks sick man. I'm glad to see you linex'd those steps.

 

I'm afraid, you have installed the spring seat upside down. I once did it and I got 4.5" of lift. I immediately corrected it because the instruction says that improper installation will cause permanent damage to the shock.

Here's how 1.75 setting looks like. I got exactly 1.75" of lift only.
