Subway4X3 Shameless Copycat Build

I need to measure a little more, but I'm not sure how much timberens compress

 

I like this kind of shit. it's like a riddle or puzzle, once you figure it out, it's awesome.

 

I have the same bumps, but not for long. joining the super bump crew.

 

This? I'll do it this weekend.

I'll also do this weekend. It's gonna have to be the passenger side, because the drivers side still has my rigged up limiting strap. I haven't broken loose my brake lines yet for extended lines.

I might have to go this route because it's just causing Tim and Steve @Wheelspinner major brain hurt.

I have same Ubolt flip and SuperBumps + half an inch spacer EDIT: NO SPACER

. So I'm good and actually ahead of the game here.

Me too. It's a riddle that I've been trying to solve for a couple months now.
I've had the Archive shackle flip kit still in the same ship box since summer. Need to solve the riddle before install. Or sell it.

 

Exactly. Then I can compare with my numbers.

Also, if you have shcok travel left at full bump, why do you have a half inch spacer on your bumps?

 

I'm gonna have search for this. Give me time.
It was a straight six. He bought it brand spanking new when he retired from the US Navy as a gift to himself. It was his baby.

 

I've got one myself. Check my build. You NEVER see them anymore. Such great trucks. What color? One or 3 piece grill?

 

I double checked. I DON'T have a have a half inch spacer added to the bumps. (I'll edit my post)
I used this as my guide for rear bumpstop height.

 

Sna- Do you know why the OME 886's won't work with these?
Are there peeps that have actually used the 700# Eibach's with plate bumpers/winch.
I just want to verify stuff before I go ahead and order.
Thanks.

 

I can't remember specifically....not fitting around the shock or length maybe??

@Dajeepman has these on his truck. Here is a pic of his truck with the 700# Eibach springs.

 

Jigsaw puzzle has arrived.
I might have to do this in the spring. Temps too cold for me.

Pallet fit just between the wheel wells, with an inch to spare.


Front Plate Bumper with standard winch mount, full hoops and dual pair LED Pod cut-outs and custom 2" receiver. Rear HC Plate Bumper with single pair LED Pod cut-outs, Tire Swing-out, Dual Can Fuel Carrier, Fold down table



Small parts and hardware. Photographed and Inventoried.

I'll try to document the installation.
Feel free to identify the lettered parts and provide installation tips or tricks, cautionary input, etc.

 

A: bed side side supports. Replace the ones you cut off when you do the bed sides. One side bolts to factory bracket holes. Other end clamps to bed sides.

L: front bumper frame braces.

C&D: front frame plates. Strengthen frame where the bolts go through.

M: self explanatory.

I don't have any of the other pieces.

I: looks like a bearing cap.

J: Spring latch for the swingout?

K: Cable to support table when it's folded down?

 

L is not needed. Send to Stairgod for repurposing.

 

Those timken bearings are for the swingout. This is the order from the bottom to the top:


Then "I" gets rubber malleted into the top of the swingout
Tapered bearing
Swingout
Tapered bearing
Seal
Start reading from here, and go up

 

Good stuff guys. Keep the input coming!

Best one yet. Less work for me

 

Whoa you spaced each leaf?
I thought just between the 1st and 2nd leaf was the problem. Let me know. I have extras if I have to I'll do them all.

 

For spindle component assembly do this:

Insert greasy bearing into bottom of gate (cage) taper side up,
Then tap seal in, Rubber seal with long rubber part down,
then hang gate on bumper spindle.
Then install second greasy bearing with taper side down,
washer,
nut, You'll need a 1-7/16" socket. Tighten, so gate opens with slight resistance.
screw aluminum cage lid on by hand, it's threaded, do not use a rubber mallet to hit as someone else suggested.

Visual representation of what it looks like with seal and first bearing.

 

@Crom my lid was not threaded

 

Nice!!!
