Northern Virginia Roll Call

Just don't sell your kings once you get them jk I really need to upgrade my rear to kings

 

No that's the end goal! I'm still not there

 

It only takes about 10 seconds to wipe the plate before posting it. I had to crop the picture anyway and I'm sure I've wasted more time for less results in the past. I never talk to the people I pass on the way to work in the morning. If I'm going to communicate with a group of people I'll take the 10 seconds to make sure some crazy lurker can't show up at my house.

 

Too late, I'm posting this from under your bed

Matt

 

Got something in the mail! Gonna try these out at half the price of others!

 

Oh goodie, you sound nice not crazy!

 

Also moving further along with my truck bed setup. Got the supports (2x8) trimmed and fitted under hi lift and plywood padded and carpeted for cheap. Gonna test it this weekend at flagpole and see what I need to adjust or add. That's my oldest boy who is 14 and 5ft 9 for an idea if fit. Add some thermarest and nice sleeping bag and it is perfect if you wanna get off ground. But any more than two or if you are tall and no Bueno. I think I might add an additional piece near the foot of the bed that slide under or fold up to get fully extended. I also think the plywood is a bit heavy and I could probably shave sme weight with better materials but we will see.

 

Cant wait to see your setup and those Maxsa boards this weekend

 

Same to you man should be fun!

 

Thought about doing something similar, but I have a toolbox mounted up next to the cab.

 

I am not sure I WANT to spend that much on suspension. the truck gets driven 100 miles a day from Ashburn to DC and MAYBE will see off road use 10% of the time I drive it...I dont know if I can justify spending $3500 on suspension like that... I believe it's overkill for what I need. hence, why I am pretty set on Bilstein 5100s

meh.... all you crazy lurkers are welcome at my house.... and if youre not welcome, you'll know, the police will know, the coroner will know, everyone will know

haha it looks like we're mirroring mods.... you get the air compressor, I buy from the same place, I pick up some Escaper Buddies, you grab them....

can you buy a lift / wheels / and tires next????

 

dont get me wrong, if I came across a SMOKING deal on the Kings (like @TacoCat ) and I had the disposable cash, I would probably pick them up,

but then again, I'm not sure how I feel about pairing the front's with Kings and the rears with just regular old Bilstein..... and the rear king shocks are like $700!!!

Do people often put good suspension up front and cheaper in the rear???? wouldnt the ride be weird???

 

I didn't think there was room under there for a person AND the fold-out sex swing.

 

I want to know too. Thinking of downgrading

 

why downgrade the rear?

 

honestly if i was you i would get the icons non remote res. you will be able to adjust up an down an if you truly add alot of weight you can get the 700lb springs. the 5100s are nice ive installed tons but if you want fine tuning on ride height from left to right and weight add on those would be what id do. not super expensive great ride quality and adjustable.

 

Just to have some more $.

I found some Icon 2.0 in PA for $400. I think i spent $900 on my rear

 

I think my first set of photos when I first joined I edited out. Became lazy after that, props to you for staying the course!

Coot

 

Psht, that's a fraction of what Nicki Minaj spent.
