are these bad??

you can drive fine without it. it is recommended to use it to correct the angle should you haul something. so g'head and do the install and order the bracket and put it on later.

I got a "blem" from BAMF (http://www.bayareametalfab.com/Standard-BPV-Bracket-35-14-plate_p_19.html) and added the PC so was about $26 shipped to my door. only took a couple of days too since it was in stock.

 

Yeah, don't stress it unless you're planning on wheeling and flexing. Your suspension can now travel farther than the oem parts can- so you can break/tear your oem brake line. I know it's hard, but refrain from flexing out your new setup until you install the bpv. Hell, I've seen diy ones that cost under a buck work fine.

 

cool well off to the shop to get work done on it and will order the relocation kit i guess and cant wait but did get new brake line from wheelers at least..... will post picture as soon as i can tyvm for everything everyone.

 

Well got the rear end installed and it went from 35 1/2" to 38 1/2"s ouch hope it settles a bit

 

Looks great! Toss two sandbags back there, and they'll settle in no time.

 

so how much do you think it will settle in the rear as im about to lift the front in the morning and im wondering if i should cancel appointment and get new coils for the front instead of using the stock ones as i dont know if they are weak or sagging.. and tyvm for the comments

 

I'd do new coils- you'll love the ride. If you don't now, you'll probably want to soon, and you might as well do it all 1 time. I can't say exactly how much it will settle, because my application is very different: aal + 800-900lb camper permanently in the back. Haven't taken it off since I got it to see a base leveling to measure.

 

well I hope I did good as I talked to Dan (wheelers)and he set me up with ome 881 coils and the bushings for the 5100s and the trim spacer thingy for the drivers side and something to do with longer studs incase I want to lift it more in the future.

 

Solid. I started with 881s when I had a stock bumper, but when I built my CBI, I upgraded to 883s. Another difference, I've got OME Nitrocharger Sport shocks, not billies.

You'll be stoked on the ride man. Night and day difference from stock. Post pics when you get em installed!

 

Who'd you order the leafs through?

 

just a different picture so you can compare to the other photo I posted,this is with the dakars and the brake line and the exhaust hanger, going to order the brake valve thingy now.. Made new appointment for next week to get the one 881s installed as they will be here Friday... Thanks again

 

k so the truck is at the shop getting the coils and shocks done finally and i have the trim pack for the drivers side and want to make sure it for sure needed to be installed on the drivers side..

 

Look up "Taco Lean" to decide. I've got it, but it doesn't bother me

 

i did read about it and just didnt know if you had to. to get rid of the lean or not with the ome springs is all and tyvm.

 

I don't know if it perfectly remedies it or not? I didn't bother putting it in..

Stoked you're close to getting it all on!!

 

Yes, do it now. Battery, driver, and gas tank all on driver side. Watch your rear brake lines. Did you get an extended line? The stock on can max out and be strained at full droop. Also, get that BPV bracket on ASAP. Otherwise, the brake system will send more pressure to the fronts, which will wear them out much more quickly and could potentially lead to warped rotors because they are doing all the stopping work.

These are Dakars.

BPV bracket and extended brake line (hard to see, but it is red and up above the left side of axle).


trim packer goes at the bottom of the coil seat (see gold ring), so it is a PITA to add later; you'd have to remove and disassemble the entire coilover.

 

tyvm for that info hope they installed it correctly as they just called and let me know they got it done, i got the brake line done and have the bamf bpv just yet to install it yet but will this weekend, just a little sad now as i was informed that they cant align it as that inner tie rod is to bad to do so and they want a lot to fix it.. almost $200 just to r&r it, dont seem right to me.. i wont be driving it only about 2 miles to get home and back to the shop across the street to do it instead. they offer lifetime alignments for $40 more and labor a little cheaper also.. so have to wait to order some more parts i guess, will post picture of it in just a little while.. thanks again...

 

I'll have to get a better photo later on as I have to run to work but the front end lifted almost 4 inches compared to before and I'm a little scared as it sits at 39.75" and before was like 36" . I sure hope it settles later on.....

 

Does it matter if he put that trim plate on the top of the strut?
