Thank you!

 

haha, oh man I'd be so depressed if someone took my truck. I don't want to think about it. That does remind me though, I need to upgrade my insurance to include aftermarket parts coverage. Didn't get it at first because I had no idea at the time what kind of money I'd be putting into my truck, lol

 

I dont know if my suspension an take it, although I may try

 

aaaaannnnnnddd BOOM, there goes @Nicklovin's lower ball joints

 

If someone wants to steal my truck so the insurance company can buy me a 4x4.... That would be neat

 

I had Fox shock on my last truck. They drive great offroad but a little stiff on the pavement. Maybe the adjusters could help with that. The kings are just amazing. I probably wont ride anything else ever.

Didnt have the kings last time. You were definitely haulin ass at cleghorn. Cant believe you do that without airing down. But the kings put me on another level so you cant keep up anymore...

 

Is that a challenge?

 

I see... now I'm googling for gusset kits... I have a Mig and need to put it to use! If your rig has any welding needed (aside from Aluminum/Tig territory), hit me up.

 

Just spotted this thread, could help with noting the differences

My wife is out of town today. I'm going to Hungry Valley. It should be around 80 there today

 

i'm going to be adding a gusset kit here shortly, i heard/read (but can't remember where) that these gusset kits needed to be Tig welded because of how thin our frames are. I'm a little skeptical about this being true or not! Could any one verify this?

 

If its the front frame kit I just read about, the OEM metal is pretty thin so maybe? But for the knuckle, the OEM metal is thick and the gusset kit looks thick as well, I can't see why one can't MIG it. I'd venture to MIG the front and rear frame kits as well.

 

Yea I bought the rear setup about a week ago, DSM said it still should be another 2-3 weeks before they get there though

At least it gives me time to make the front 100% dailed

And of course the sway bar is off

 

Well not planning (now). But since everything was already off and in case I do decide, mostly accidentally hit something I would rather have a bit more strength there

 

Did I hear mod day... Need the tool/help to help me crank my front Kings coilovers up 3-4 more threads to lift the front a little. Can anyone help out? I can bring beer and pizza. lol

 

What mig do you have?

 

I just got the straight tool with my shocks you can use?

 

I always thought there was a special tool you needed from King to do it. I also have to take to coils off to adjust them, correct?

 

To do thick stuff, I need a 220 run bad, at 120 at max output it kept opening an overload just doing some ~8th inch stuff. It takes both 120 and 220, the latter lets it reach it's potential and maybe can get good welds of thick slider brackets on the OEM frame-- its rated for 24 ga - 3/8 in.
