Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Unfortunately (or fortunately for you lol) it's for an 05-11 body style.

 

Lots of fun and all walks of life in the Long Beach.

 

Do it for the mall crawler!

 

Do it!

 

I'm hoping I won't need new coils when I get my bumper, but idk enough about it to make that decision

 

Could pick up a set of OME coils to take care of the lift and weight.

Depends on the weight of the bumper: you might be able to get away with what you have because it's a tube bumper, but it's a beefy tube bumper. Best bet is to try it out as is and if you feel the front end is too soft, too spongy, then upgrade. But then comes the task of up 50# or up 100# spring rate

 

What front suspension do you have currently?

 

Oh gotcha. I don't know much about the baja suspension. I'd think you'd be able to remove the factory spring and swap it out for a new Eibach or OME spring though

 

While sending @itaro my invoice for my kings he noticed I got the 650# so I might be alright. Like you said it is a tube bumper so a bit lighter than plate but I got skid(s eventually) so maybe I'll need the 700#. It's a few months away anyways, don't need to worry about it now.

 

I'm glad you changed your mind on the AllPro bumper, that thing is bad ass!

 

Did you show it to me before and I said no? I don't remember haha. But ya it's fricken sweet it definitely has grown on me. I think it'll go better with glass whenever I decide to glass up

 

Haha yeah back in October. You're doing glass? LT?

 

I don't recall haha. I'll probably glass the front but it won't be for a while. That's very far down on the list of wants. Probably won't LT it but I wanna look cool lol

 

More fender clearance for stuffing tires. Going to wait until your Falkens are worn and bump to 285 with the flares?
@MadTaco461 's truck made me want LT... but that's something I shouldn't really be thinking about for a few more years at least so i can afford to do it right.

 

That's cuz it's icons not kings but I feel ya. You're running aluminum skids though right? I'll be all steel so my guess with once I have full skids and bumpers I'll probably have to go up to the 700#

 

Ya the clearance for the tires is mainly why I want it. I just don't think I'd LT my truck. 1. Because of money and 2. I'd rather get a single cab or access cab 1st or 2nd gen and LT that just for desert use. But that's not for many years so it's not feasible so I'm not even gonna discuss things I want but won't buy. Ahem Lovin...

 

Right there with ya, that's way down the road

My Icons feel so much better after giving them a good run out at super. It's like they were mad they hadn't really been used in a while. Now they feel amazing on and off road.

 

Drops over 30k on a new fancy truck when he could've got a long travel truck

 

I didn't need, and still don't need LT. Everything I've bought, I've bought for what my needs are and what they will be. I don't need to LT a daily driver, there's no point in that. Everything I've said I was going to buy, I've bought. I'm not in to talking about stuff I know I'm not going to get or need.

 

Ahhh the coil discussion has come around again. Awesome. No preload for me (I just dont understand the purpose). 650# are well settled by now. Aluminum front bumpers and steel everything else....even the BAMF lca skids. Rake is just enough and when loaded I sit perfectly even. Its the aluminum bumper that help me. I smacked the snot out of it tearing off my license plate in fish creek while backing off a sheet of rock and the bumper still looks great. No dents, bumps, or bruises. @MADSTEEZE and I were rather impressed. The license plate on the other hand....
