will do thanks for the link

 

Those look really nice dude!

 

Yeah I like the design of AG's better. It also comes with a 4" greaseable shackle. I had looked into a 5" but I'm concerned about getting my pinion angle off by too much anyways so maybe 4" is a better choice.

Still think I'm going to run the B110 and flip the ubolts.

Now for bumps... Are the wheelers worth it in the rear? Definitely not looking at the timbrens. Also, how can I estimate how much I will need to raise my stops before cycling it with the new components? Wheelers has 1/4" and 3/8" spacers. It would be nice to get it all dialed in with parts on hand, but sometimes life isn't that easy...

 

hey man how do you like those backup lights on your roof? Thinking of getting some cheap ones form Amazon

 

I like my Wheeler's bumps.

Once I raise my rear shock upper mount, I intend to move the bumpstop to the frame above the axle, and not use the stand. That way, I can pick up a couple more inches of up-travel (making sure not in invert the spring.)

 

How are you gaining up travel from a shock mount relocate and moving the bump stop to the frame?

Doing custom shenanigans?

 

Somewhat.

Moving the upper mount up (while running a longer shock) allows the lower end of the shock to travel farther up. So, as long as the springs can handle the flex, and the tires don't hit the fender, you have increased upward travel.

 

What shock length/shock do you have that you're able to move the upper shock mount and not the lower without fear of bottoming he shock out? Better question is how far up are you moving the upper shock mount?

 

Mind blown

 

Just spent the past hour battling my rear brake lines...







I won.

 

And the tires dont hit the shock. Theory make sense to me... Im just now trying to learn about all of these custom shenanigans. Troofully, I dont know jack.

 

I'm in the same boat

 

Either stay stock brackets or go through the bed. These in the wheel well shock towers are silly.

 

Agreed, there's not much more droop gained from it compared to stock location.

The b110 will do great for you in the stock location Marshall. With 10.94" travel, Add in the shackle flip and you'll be drooping nearly as much as my set up for less money and less work.

 

Absolutely! An inch of travel at that point is a waste of time and money.

 

Love and use them all the time. Most people like to have lights down in bumper cut outs. I like them up high. Prinsu made it a no brainer for me as I was able to keep them down below the mounting surface. Just drilled 2 holes in the tracks to run the wire. Quick disconnects inside the cap.

If you leave yourself enough wire you can even turn them up and down a bit as needed.

 

Sweet man! Yeah I'm planning on putting two on my bed bars under my cvt racing back and two facing sides! Also working on 8 of the rock lights!

 

Oh shit!
