Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

Check Craigslist!!! LB caps pop up a lot since they are for the AC and DCLB. Was probably 6 LB ones I saw withing 200 miles for 500-1000 bucks in good shape and various colors. When I had my cap it was white and I had it painted for 250. So don't be afraid of the wrong color cap. Get what you can cheap and then have it painted. Just remove the windows before you do to save some bucks and get a better job done.

 

I really don't go "wheeling" and am not familiar with Shoe Creek, but why do these jack wagons think it's ok to damage other people's property? Would they want someone to do the same thing to them? And then they ruin the trails for everyone by being inconsiderate a--holes.

 

shoe creek is in the redneck part of va. they do what they want, when they want, where they want. they'll just find another place to ruin

 

Most of the ones doing it back in November were not from that area

 

Some hear say from locals just said that people going off trail (which was a lot by locals and non locals) combined with getting into arguments with property owners is what did it. Also some hear say is the ones who were argumentative were not from the area. Sucks.

At the moment I want to get a 6" BDS or Zone lift and get some icon or king shocks later on, but I am constantly changing my mind.

 

Whats your intended purpose for the truck?

 

I mainly bought the truck just to haul around dirtbikes. So the lift is pretty much just for looks. The only offroading I do is driving on the beach and occasionally light trails.

I have been going back and forth between 3" and 6" but when I really think about it the only thing pushing me toward 3" is the cost. So I think I'm just going to appease my inner child and get a good 6" DB lift.

 

I feel ya. If I had the money I would get LT. But I just don't think I'll be happy with a 3". I think I'd be worried about stressed CV axles with a 3"

 

They aren't stressed. Buy the 3" you'll be happier especially if you ever get sucked into the wheeling bug. Ask any of the guys around here if they regret buying a db lift before going through the removal process to get a 3" kit. Also I watched a db crossmember snap this weekend, it was on an older 4runner but it's the same type of system you'd see on our trucks. Not something I'd want to have to deal with

 

Snap? Did it slam into a rock? What brand lift?

 

Looks like it took a hit but definitely should not have broken. No idea what brand

 

how do 3" lifts drop the front diff without a db?

 

You don't. They don't affect the CV'S as much as you're thinking
