    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    trust me i will still be there. the main ride is still sunday, just maybe scouts on sat and a badass light the night ride! bring your own sunglasses
    nobody has called the other bed yet just sayin...first come first serve in this bitch.

    Ok that is awesome that they sell a complete kit now. However, it does not mention leaf pack...there is Deaver SUA. Maybe that is the only way to do it?:confused:

    im not fully up on it because honestly im happy with the dakars and bilsteins at the moment. perfect combo. the b110s just barely have enough left to let the dakars do their thing. with shackle flip the dakars might outstretch the shocks by a little but i dont think it would be more than an inch. because iof that upper and lower mount relocation/shackle flip/new leafs/under axle is on the backburner for me. im happy with this setup. but i would do all of those together at the same time. and archive is who i would consult before buying any components. ideally i would want him to do it, but not sure where he is.

    he does have some cha rts on his site but i think they mainly show how different shackle lengths affect different leafs. not sure thats what youre looking for.

    I am thinking ahead. I am going to order the billys soon and run that for a good little while. I was just looking to research the next rear set up. Trying to decide on complete over haul of the rear before or after LT. My truck planning is about 6-12 months ahead of my wallet :rofl:

    yep i gotcha. im not even trying to figure all that out because it gets so complicated and tolerances are so tight when doing a 14" without going through the bed. theres so many variables imo i would only trust him to do it as opposed to a local welder. so i would plan on making a wheeling trip out of it to wherever he is.

    because you need to have everything planned out. shackle length, leafs, shocks, lower shock mount, etc all planned out beforehand. its really a custom install at that point. and with my experiences so far with southern offroad and the like, i wouldnt let them install it for free on my truck.

    Yep, they will not touch my truck ever.

    My goal is to put the slider higher than the top of a 35" tire when flexed out:cool:

    i feel you but that is quite a steep goal. i will tell you at ATR steven tried several times to get up a rutted ouyt hill and popped a bead by giving it a little too much "batman"

    ed came around us and almost crawled up it. very little gas. he has the front locker too but those 35s make a difference for sure!

    35" and front locker before the rear for sure. I will go to 35" as soon as I can stop driving the truck a lot, that is the only thing holding me back.
