So many dicks... different sizes and shapes @DannyBFresco

 

If you think those are dicks... I'm concerned with what you're comparing them to... lol

 

Thank you much for the clarification. I was lost there for a bit. If I am going to end up lifting my truck a bit with this suspension overhaul, and therefore lift the front end with 5100s as well, will I need (or do you recommend) a new coil/spring? Or will the stock coils suffice?

Do I need a BPV bracket that fits my car specifically? Or do BPV brackets generally fit any car/truck?

 

Yours doesn't look like any of these? Am I the only one? My mom always did say I was a "special boy".....




closest thing I could find... lol

 

5100's will use your stock spring to lift to any of the three preset perch locations. giving you a chance set based on your needs. some guys will run new coils, just to keep everything new and avoid any predisposed sag. check out toltec or one for coils. the BPV is one size fits all. only 1st gens have the BPV and the bracket from BAMF will fit your truck.

 

I believe max lift with 5100s is 1.5". So you'll want to run a preload spacer, coilovers, or a new strut spring combo

 

I thought I read that the Bilsteins have a max lift of 2.5". Is that correct? If they do have a max lift of 2.5", would I still need a preload spacer? And how do I determine what size of spacer?

When you say I may need to run coilovers, you just mean that I should get a new coil and shock? Or does that mean something different? Still trying to figure all this out over here, ugh. But I appreciate the help! ha.

 

Fuck!!!!

 

Nice Rig dude! I like the red. (see question below)

Okay, I am going to have to start a list of all the accessories that I need to but along with the big items. Will I need anything else. On their product page for the Dakars, Headstrong Off Road says that I will also need an exhaust bracket (same thing as BPV?) and u-bolts. Do I need to add these to my list as well?

Do you happen to know what size coils I need for a 1st gen.? Some websites give me a range of sizes to pick from (2880-2883)?

 

Shot in the dark here, but anyone here from the GB BAMF trilogy buy want to sell me there old set?

 

A hour ago passing through Walnut Creek. Look in center below digital speedo

 

Hope that Angel isn't trying to tell you that you have a bad ticker.

 

Those are in reference to different length/spring rates on the coils. They're different for what you're looking for. Depends if you have weight up front, bumper, winch etc.

For info
It looks like 2880 is the base. But check on t the chart halfway down for what you're looking for looking for

 

Have the day off, it's 68 in my house

 

I'm buying @tacomgee's relentless mid and trans. skids, so I'll be selling mine.

My relentless fab t-case skid has the basement thing that goes over the crossover pipe. The mid skid is dented, but fixable.

 

Lucky. I doubt I'll be able to get mine below 85.

 

10 degrees cooler than here I'll take it lol

 

News just reported 106 in downtown San Francisco! Wtf? That can't be right is it seriously that hot down there?

 

That makes sense. Thanks again.
