What he said^^^!
I did the same.

 

It's not fair to say I forgot...because I never knew! LOL. Like I said just barely to investigate 2nd gen options that allow substantial extension to deal with this LWB and lack of locker. I just want to avoid getting stuck. I really have no issue budgetwise buying a full King setup, and I keep thinking I'll end up there. Done Billies, done OME, and now I am learning what else is out there beyond my first gen knowledge. Still have a lot of homework to do.

I have not bought from DSMS before, but I've heard nothing but good things about them since I joined TW, and I think that is who I'll be buying from this time, especially if I decide I want some custom tuning for my needs.

 

If your purchasing kings or have any questions regarding kings I highly recommend DSMS. That's who I bought all my king product through. Plus free shipping and a ton of knowledge!

 

I hear what you are saying. And it's not so much whether I'm willing to spend X amount or not, it's about being able to do so. If I could throw as much money as I wanted at the truck, I'd already be doing an SAS. But as it is, I have to figure out what I can do that can meet the minimum needs. I talked to Micah at DSMS about Kings and the setup he recommended is a little too far out of my price range. But I might be able to pull the Icons with either All-pro Expos or Dakars.

Have any of you ever pulled a leaf from the Expo packs? I talked to All-pro and they said based on the weight I ride with, I'm right between the two. If I get the standards, it'll probably sag, if I get the Expos, I'll want to add more weight for awhile to get them to flex and settle. If I install them with the Icons, and there's too much rake, maybe I could pull a leaf? It'd still be better than the standards but less tall than the Expos. If I go with this set-up, I'll have to wait a bit for UCA's, so I'll be keeping the front at around 2.5". It'll be pretty stink-bug if the back is at 4"

 

I rode with the rake for two yrs. Its not that bad. They flex fine even withoit the weight. With the hard top i think you will like thd way it sits. But i guess if you dont you could remove a leaf.

 

to my local guys first.
all this talk of lifts, I just removed my beat up 5100s if any one wants some


112-620 - Toytec/Eibach front coil lift springs
and top hats with 3/8" spacers and extended post. also they bottom perch on the driver side is thicker for driver side lean and they dont sell them like this. the 5100s are shot and you would need new ones and a new isolator pads for the top. but it could save someone some cash. PM me if interested and i will gladly make you an awesome deal. I will try to get some more pics on here later.

 

I spent a stupid amount of hours researching lifts and I still couldn't really tell you which OME coil is appropriate for what application or whether what I'm really after is digressive or progressive valving.

So I took ya'll's advice and ordered some King coilovers for the front, and some All-pro Expos and Billies for the rear. When all was said and done it wasn't that much more than an OME kit (with added 'enhancers' and the extra leaf for the springs).

Hopefully, some of you can help me get it all on the truck. It'd be nice to hit the high country by July.

 

smart man.

 

Jason, are you still down for some wrenching this week, maybe Thursday or Saturday? What do you have to do to yours?

 

Im open either day. Saterday morning would be best. Cooler in the morning. Plus more time if we gave issuse. Im not sure im going to tackle my issuses yet i havent hot the parts yet. But i need new uca bushings, i already installed the coilovers and hood struts.

 

I work pretty late Friday, so an early Sat. morning might be hard to do. Thursday good? Or Sat. afternoon? I bet we are on somewhat opposite schedules.

 

thru im not home until 4pm so might be tight on time. its probably abuot two hr job maybe less.my breaker bar is broke so you will need to pick one up if you dont have one. we can give it a try with out it but i broke mine on the passenger side axle nut. Saturday im open all day.

 

time to clean out the garage. posting here for a few days then to CL.
2 sets of Thule kayak j hooks $80 each, only used twice. the pic only shows one set. I even have the boxes.

toytec lift coil springs on some beat the f up 5100's. springs have 35k miles on them. these would be good for some one who wants to buy new 5100s and replace, take note the bottom perch on the drivers side, its thicker to compensate for lean.They don't sell them like this. and top plate have extended studs for 3/8" spacers. make an offer. i like tequila

 

I wanted those spacers before i got my new setup

how much are you trying to get for those eibach front coils?

 

Hey, hoping someone may know, any spots nearby that you can camp/shoot at? I don't know the area here very well. Haven't been able to find it via google.

 

Crystal Basin Recreation area. Great campsites and you can drive out and find somewhere safe to shoot fairly easily. It's up off of Highway 50 about an hour east of Sacramento. https://www.smud.org/assets/documents/pdf/Crystal-Basin-Brochure.pdf

 

Or up MET there is some good areas out there as well. here is a few other cool areas to check out as well. silver fork rd.off hwy 50. off 80 these places red dog rd out of colfax ,drum forebay , sugar pine area outside forest hill, the becoming a hit on tw eagle lakes out of Nyack. as far as close goes nothing less then 1 hr away is worth camping at. my favorite areas is crystal basin home of the Rubicon. There lots of lakes and trails, and a few good free camp sites.
when you looking to camp? post it up !! im sure someone on here might want to show you a few places.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Props to jqueener for hosting/helping a stranger get his ECGS bushing swapped in. Saved me from what would have been a whole day of cussing and banging. Goodbye rumble-strip vibe!
