Northern Virginia Roll Call

Ah that is true too.

 

Yeah the only time I rubbed (after trimming the cheap plastic fender lining) on the cab mount before the chop was at full lock.

 

I would rub whenever hitting concrete thresholds going into parking lots.

 

When turning or going straight too?

 

yea I didnt even trim my plastics (which only needed a little bit) but since I put it up for sale, I figured I'd just let the new owner decide what he wanted to do....

not my concern any more

 

Intended!

 

For lift, why not just do full ome springs, Dakar, nitrochargers? The ome nitrochargers are designed to go with one springs right?

 

@Me. Projekt New avatar pic spotted.

 

Turning...at 45 degree angles would be enough to cycle my suspension for a rub. Granted my front was only about 2.25 inches at the time with 285s.

 

Yes but the nitros limit the rear flex you can get with the dakars versus running an extended travel shock.

 

Oh I see. I have Dakar's and nitrochargers front and rear, and I've definitely seen my rear flex limited.

Well you can get some extended goodness in the rear and nitrochargers in the front. If on a budget then skip ome in the front and just stock springs on Bilstein 5100 for the lift.

Also, give me more info on what extended travel rear shocks work well with Dakar's (I am going to do shackle flip and will need it in the future).

 

@boogie3478 exact setup :

5100s + 887s + LR UCAs up front & extended travel 5100s + dakars + extended brake lines in the back

Yep I saved it so I could price it.

 

I suppose I could nip it all in the bud and get the CMC brackets now and have @DOUBLLD install them when I get them.

 

You could also knock out the CMC now before the install. You wont notice the difference of them not being there.

 

I think I am going 255's and then I don't have to worry about shit

 

I like the Bilstein 5100 extended travel rear shocks. There are "better" extended travel shocks out there, but the Bilstein's give you more travel than even the Icons.

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road

 

Ah ok cool, I think I remember @fatfurious2 say that you might still need to trim a little at full lock and cycled though?

 

If I had to do it over again I would go this route. But you never really know if you'll need the CMC.

 

255 vs 285 and cmc @jschona1
