Oregon and Washington BS thread

I just head into the coastal range until I get high enough to find nobles. Fun excuse to get out and cruise logging roads.

 

Heh I was on Germantown road this last weekend. My bumper, cap, empty trailer, full size spare. Going up the hill, I broke traction on every corner. 255 KM2.

Are the new A/Ts they came out with that bad? I was hearing good things I thought. I'm getting due soon and was hoping they'd be my next transition

 

I have yet to see PNW TW do this... but there is another local -> site <- (hint, click between the arrows) that has this already on the books...

 

Thanks.

 

Because Russia.

 

You go to OSU? I was thinking about researching some more and getting springs, AAL, rear Bilsteins. Maybe I will hold onto the part and wait till I have money. And can do it all at once. Only if you're down of course. And I would pay you also!

Ill keep you updated, if I decide to wait it out. Least I will do is install front billies to level on the front. I don't really want to preload the factory springs too much though. .85 seems about what I need, but at same time I almost feel it is too small of a difference to spend so much time and money doing. Might as well do it all at once, and get the whole front back 2.5 inch lift

Thoughts?

 

Yeah, I go to OSU.

IMO, if you want to do a 2.5"/3" lift, you might as well just do the lift that you really want and take the front end apart once and be done with it.

Once you start looking at a 2.5" lift you want to consider aftermarket UCA's.

 

Can you post a picture of your truck? with the Bilstein, 884s and Dakar?

 

A few days after install



A year after install, and one overload spring removed from rear leaf packs

 

I'm a 2.7L. Before I need tires I plan on putting OME and 885s on to clear 33's.

 

antlers...

 

Yeah I think I will be sticking with just the Bilsteins up front at .85 with OEM shocks for a while. Where do you take your truck for fun? You're not that far of a drive form the the coast/dunes and rear bilsteins soon after... mainly for ride quality

 

Decided to run my 255/70/17s for Moab... Scored these Sequoia wheels for $175, mounted and balanced!

I'm stoked!

 

Now you look like me!

 

You're running the same setup? I was a little skeptical that they weren't going to clear the UCAs... Hadn't done any research or anything prior to finding them. I definitely think runnings 255s helps with clearance. Don't think 285s would clear without spacers.

 

Those wheels look tuff! Are they the same backspace as the taco wheels? They look out a lil further.

 

They are further out. But running 255s you want a bit less back space

 

One thing I like about the KM2s is I currently have 51k+ miles on them. Going to get my new set mounted this week..I could probably push another rotation out of my current ones but with hunting next week I'm not sure what to expect up in Saddle Mountain so I rather have fresh shoes than old ones.

I said I'd probably get Icons. I'm no coilover expert but most people seem pretty happy with them.

 

Sequoia wheels FTW!
