Permanent Rausch Creek thread

With the right blade, I can cut sheet metal.
I forget how to put quotes in sig

 

Have you ever cut sheet metal on a truck w/< 500 miles? It may hurt not sure. I did see a sweet 2nd gen gen in valley cottage Ny and I'm thinking about cutting the rear quarters. It had a nice wrap around rear bumper.

 

Well, if you're going to run n 31's there's no point in doing a lift IMO. It hurts making the first cut no matter how many miles you have. It's cake after that

 

Figured it out

 

Or the first dent

 

I wouldn't know about that

 

Was wondering if it was worth it?
Can I run 33s with out regearing?
What suspension do you have?

 

Regearing for 33s is not mandatory, but it is a good idea.
I have Kings with Icon billet UCAs, and Dakar's with 12" Kings in the rear.

 

You will






You will

 

I have an auto. I'm on 35's and regeared to 4.56. You CAN run 33's without a Regear. When I was on 33's and stock gears my trans wasn't shifting correctly. I would have to shift from OD to 4th back to OD manually to get it to go into OD.

255/85/16 or 255/80/17 are something to look at too. Narrow 33's. Much less clearance issues.

All the details of my build are listed at the top of my build page.

 

I'm not even sure I need a lift I just want to run some decent trails for now.

 

@steele-taco

You do NOT need to spend this kind of money... it does look pretty though.

 

If you want to run decent trails at Rausch, you need a lift, tires, skids, and sliders, minimum IMO. If you don't have a locker you'll need the occasional tug.

 

Greens are decent trails.



For minivans

 

Was thinking about narrow 33s

 

This is awesome! Why am I always catching up on the good stuff that goes on...

 

On a 2nd gen with the proper back spacing on the wheels, you can run 255's without rubbing. Not sure about 3rd gens.

 

JUST SAY NO

to greens

 

Are any of you fellas interested in wheeling the first weekend in march?
