Mid travel overland-wheeler build with 35's and BS w/ SAS in the works

Yep, one of our buddies wife was like "aren't you supposed to test stuff out before you take the truck out?"

Kinda did that last night at the camp site ha. His damn door had mud inside it too

 

This is what I'm going to do.

 

We welded my OEM bumps to the All Pro flip


I still dont like that hes that close. I say buy new lower mounts and start over.

 

Lower mounts are just in the wrong position?

 

Call me a stickler or anal for wanting to "do things the right way" and "measure properly" and "cycle the suspension"

 

Was just asking if that would fix the problem. I'll take pics of it all in the morning

 

Yes bending down the lower mounts would fix it but really depends on how much space before your bumps would hit. Best just to do a u bolt flip with super bumps and go from there.

 

Yes buddy, i dont believe your set up right. Can you go snap a picture of the lower shock mounts please (both sides)

 

No way those BAMF lowers are bending. They will need to be cut, cleaned and mounted again.
Probably have to order new ones.

 

Really it just depends on the leaf pack. You need to figure out where it goes flat and where it is fully drooped. From there you should be able to find where the axle mount needs to be or move the upper.

 

I can in the morning to damn dark to really see it good right now

 

Thats what I meant. Didn't mean literally bend them down, but to cut and clean, "rotate" down and tac, flex truck, weld completely if in a good position. And yes may need new lower shock tabs.

 

Moving that boxed upper wont be as easy as the lower.

 

Oh I know. I wouldn't move that one either unless his axle mounts had to be waaaay under in order to fix it

 

@SoutheastOverland did the work I'll see what they can do.

 

Im surprised you didn't need a u bolt flip. I'd do that with super bumps before, cleans it up real well.

 

That's what some people at the meet was telling me to do.

 

Order the all pro ubolt flip Andrew. Its super easy to install. I heard you can request grade 8 bolts for an extra charge as well. The flip is going to add 1/4" rise to the OEM bump if you use it. Get a 2nd set of lower mounts as well because I dont think there will be enough material to use them twice. This should all be taken into account when you cycle and measure. You want to leave 1/2" in the shock before bottom. This way if the bump or something were to go very wrong, you wont bottom that shock and nuke a seal or worse.
