Need Some Help Please

But please god take that plate bumper off for something respectable.

 

I am definitely keeping the bedcage and the rear kings. I just need to dial the front and make things right all the way around the truck.

 

What do you suggest?

 

Tube is life.

Also listen to @sladesdaddy1022 get some miles on that truck with your ass in the pilot's seat. Does tons for what you "need" to know first what you actually want.

 

Yeah that bumper is nice!! I have been talking to my buddy here in San Diego and I want TRAC performance to fabricate a killer tube bumper for me with skid plate

 

Haha trust me it's valves and set and tweaked for a certain purpose. And that's to off road fast. You start messing with shit and it's not gunna like you when you hit dirt. Especially trying to get more height. You ever seen the score races and how low their trucks are it's all about low center of gravity and shove as much shock for as much travel as possible

 

Thanks man, for us second gen trucks the only way to get a tube bumper these days is to have one custom built. All the shops wanna do plate it seems.

 

Btw why on a long travel truck are your ucas and lcas so tiny? They look stock

 

Those are stock lowers and light racing uppers. It's a "mid travel" front with a "long travel" rear.

 

I built mine it's actually pretty simple template once the bumper and crash bar are taken off its easy to work with

 

I didn't read very much

 

Unless you know dickall about welding.

 

Teach yourself. It's kinda like riding a pony it's only gay till your good at it

 

if I had signature room that'd make it in there.

 

It's pretty easy trade to learn can learn everything you'd ever need to know about welding on YouTube. It's amazing

 

I'd love to get my hands on a MIG just to mess around at home with little things. Even "try" to fab up a rear tube bumper of my own.

Unfortunately space limits reign supreme as of now. Instead I make @icetreye build cool shit like tire carriers.

 

That pelfrey bumper is a very high quality bumper. The downside is it is very heavy. Most guys run a 700 lb coil with it. You have a # on the spring. That larger number in the center is your spring rate. If you think 4wd long travel will give you lift, you might be disappointed. They will sit very close to a mid travel truck. You should go hit some dirt with the local guys to figure out how you want to build your truck. Oh yeah I like the bedcage too. Great start to building your truck. I'm just not sure if you are trying to go for prerunner or overland build.

 

1" BL ?

 

Thanks buddy

 

Here is an example check out this. He sits about the same height as a mid travel truck and near dead nuts level.
