lol nice, good thing I dont have my monitor showing for the whole class right now or theyd wonder what I was doing

My UCA got delivered to the house yesterday and I think my shocks come Monday at the latest Also picking up my high lift from pep boys when I fly in and have my cb antenna and light brackets coming Saturday

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! What control arms???

 

SPC from that Group buy you signed up for

 

Bad ass man!! I want those puppies too!

 

Then GIT EM!!!! The deal was pretty stout and I couldnt pass it up

 

Yeah, I cant afford shit right now haha

Not even a $10 patch

 

Ill trade you that bumper for UCA's

 

​

 

So that's a yes? Also I'm gonna be getting 886 coils soon Just need top plate spacer, some top plates, and an AAL and I'll have a real lift! I'm about $250 away from a real lift boys!

 

Its a NO. lol

Im pumped for you bro!!

Im trying to make a deal on soem 885 coils from a local member

Just too broke to even make an offer atm

 

Same here! With all the research I've done I am pretty set on that lift here in the future. Not sure if I will need anything else though...UCA's, diff. drop, etc.... I know one of you guys know tho!

 

Thanks buddy How much more lift do you get with the 885? I'd ask how much you are going to get them for but the vultures are out.

 

Going to be about 2.5" inches on top of the 4" from the Maxtracs

Going to be jacked af! ​

 

I dont think you need a diff drop but I know Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road would I'll need to know too with my truck. I dont think you do because I have a 3 inch spacer on there already. UCA's you would definitely need though for a 3 inch lift.

 

Ha! You'll need 35's then with that monster! You and @SpruceTaco are going to be the same height

 

Heck yeah man, wont be anytime soon tho lol

Ive got to find some 5100's and the associated pieces to make the coils usable

 

Does anyone have any tips on pulling additional wires into the cab? I'm looking to mount my light bar and I wanted to use the hole where that main bundle of wires passes through on the driver's side. I'm just not sure the best way to get more wires through there. It's very tightly bundled as is. I was considering trying to push it through with like a coat-hanger or something but I'm wondering if there's a better approach.

 

I usually just cut/poke a hole and stick it through. You can put a grommet on the cord you're sticking through if you like, or just silicon it at the end.

 

I wouldnt upset the factory wiring/grommet going through the firewall

You can drill a small hole and use a new rubber grommet and seal it properly for the same effect and possibly easier

 

I drilled a hole just under that penetration from inside the cab. I used a grommet to protect the wires from the sheet metal and some plumbers putty to seal it. Basically got the grommet size I needed to pass the wire easily and drilled the right size hole for the grommet. To start from inside the cab, I went to the lower right hand of the existing penetration, measured bout 1/2" away where the new hole would extend to made a pilot hole with a small bit, then used a regular hole saw bit to drill it out. It's thin metal so it doesn't take much. Cleaned it up and put some paint on a Qtip to cover the bare metal, let that dry and popped the grommet in. Pulled all the wire and landed them where they need to go. Zip tied them inside and outside to keep the bundle tight. Then rolled plumbers putty inside and outside the hole. Been bout 4 years since I've done that and still holding strong.
