Colorado B.S. Thread

My co-worker has been trying to get me to play hookie. Boss is out of town. If I can get done what I need to it will be hard to say no. There were people already snowmobiling at the pass 2 weeks ago.

 

Is there a list anywhere in here (I have tried searching) of things that need to change with a 3" lift?

Like Brake lines, Etc. I understand UCA's are not mandatory but suggested. Trying to put shopping list together with hopefully Black Friday deals...

Also, if I occasionally pull a Camper trailer, what are the best leaf spring upgrades for this?

Thanks all for the help!

 

An all included kit would have as a base.

Spacers for carrier bearing on the rear drive shaft and to drop the front diff.

Extended break lines are not really needed but should be done depending on rear lift (lift springs travel further then blocked stock axle)

Longer coils and or adjustable coils in the front or a spacer puck.

You know about the uppers but new upper will hep with down travel and alinement.

Rear shocks. Keeping in the same spot if you keep stock length you will have the same amount o droop as you had before because shocks would be your limiter longer will do the invers and will ack like a bump stop at full stuff. This is fine if you just want the lift but little change in performance. If you go with lift springs you will want to have the travel you gain with that money spent. Shock relocation and longer shocks will get you this.

I am running the Dakar leafs and they are an "expo" leaf pack and have 500lbs over OEM. all pro have leaf packs that don't have the added capacity. If you don't want that. Even With your rack unless you carry a lot of weight most of the time the Dakars might not be worth it. I love mine but also have full bed drawers and a rear bumper with swing outs.

 

Figure i would finish the bumper before the snow

 

That turned out really nice. Looks good loaded up.

 

whose getting any snow?
Not even raining here.

 

Raining pretty good here.

 

Snowing like crazy down here!

 

Raining here in... Korea. Haha

 

Where you at?

 

Raining but no snow yet near SW plaza mall.

 

Littleton. But that's not saying much I can drive half a mile and it would be hardly misting.

 

No snow or rain here

 

Definitely getting some snow near the base of the mountains, but the wind is always the bigger contributor to the cold.

 

Sprinkling in Arvada, with dropping temperature should make for interesting am

 

You guys are supposed to get quite a bit up north though! Stupid pueblo!

 

Nothing but rain at 8th and co blvd

 

All rain at Belleview and Logan

 

And like that it's gone.
