Permanent Rausch Creek thread

@bski22 did you have some dakars you wanted to get rid of?

 

Yea they are sitting in my basement

 

I didn't have watch.

My nose told the whole story...

and OCK told the story too

 

That's exactly what I used.

 

I see Kings, Dakars, shackle flip and new UCAs in your future.

 

Nice!

 

Thanks for adding that Mojo.

And I also forgot rear shock relocate.

 

The shackle flip gives you much better articulation but does it keep ride height the same?

I would like to do all this at once.

 

They squeak right? Do they have the extra leaf?

 

Most flip kits add a bit of lift. If you use Dakar springs with a flip you will add a few inches of height to the rear.

 

I'm thinking I want dakars w/out extra leaf for the rear to match a 2.5-3in coil over in front. Like the flip for travel!

I'm thinking about doing lift then bumpers.

I should just do it all at once.

 

I would do the suspension all at once. Bumpers can come later.

 

I'm just thinking about sag from bumpers.

Thanks.

 

I would definitely do the suspension to handle what you have planned in the future. Worse case scenario is that your ride is a bit stiffer until you do your front bumper.

 

I rendered my truck useless (offroad) with a steel front bumper and full steel skids on stock suspension while waiting for my lift to arrive

 

Sag. Shit I know about sag!! I'm doing the same talking to @stairgod and @Blackout14 and they have all lead me to do full out and be done with it.

 

F springs on stock coils. Get coil overs and uca. Other wise your just gonna do it again.

 

Learn from the mistakes of others. Will save you time, money, and headaches.

 

If you learn from @Subway4X4 then u should be ahead of the game.

 

Yeah I wanna get w/ him on recovery technique, seems like I missed a nice course Sunday.
