    If you tow at all or carry any kind of load the Dakars are a no brainer.

    You will thank us later.

    Also, ditch the rear Maxtrac shocks and get Bilstien 5125s

    I started with blocks and add-a-leaf's, then, within a month changed to Dakar's = perfection. I tow a single axle trailer / boat, it works great ~ just took a trip, nine hours each direction, couldn't ask for better. Really worth the expense and peace of mind, especially with a load and / or towing.July 1.jpg July 2.jpg

    Does the uca angle look off to anyone? 5100s bottom setting, factory coils, Lr UCAs. I'm probably over thinking it, since I'm used to looking at it with the 887s where there was some droop. We're the factory UCAs almost horizontal?

    I've got a little drop in my OEM UCA from the 3rd gen TRD OR shocks and coils

    Thanks, I guess I'm over thinking it as usual. Anyone else running lr UCAs on factory coils?

    The LR UCA ball joint is much longer than stock BJ so that why it's probably a little more horizontal

    Makes sense. Not having issues or anything, it just caught my eye and looked funny to me today after I parked.

    Will I have any issues with scs f5's 17x9 3.5 bs with the maxtrac lift? What size tire should I get with these wheels that will compliment the lift and not cause too much trouble with trimming and rubbing?

    Should fit perfectly and leave plenty of space between the wheel and spindle

    I bought that exact same wheel partly becuase i wanted more space in there

    Wrapped em up in some Nitto Ridge Grapplers

    285/70/17

    Did cab mount chop and trimmed some of the front fender flares inside at the bottom

    That being said

    Trimming and doing the CMC is nothing

    You will be happy with the 285s if you go that route

    Money back guarantee

    I don't know how to weld even though it looks super easy, I will have to look around for a place to do it, if anyone on this thread knows a good place in So Cal let me know! Thanks @ChadsPride they get more in stock tomorrow so I'm going to pull the trigger on them:bananadance:

    Yeah man! @ChadsPride did you do the cb drop bracket, if so how hard is that to install? It's part of the Head strong package that I'm thinking of getting

    Yeah - Super mega easy

    2 Bolts

    Do 1 side first, then the other

    Also - Give Marie @HS a call when you place the order

    She may or may not be able to tweak the kit and make it way better

    I did - ditched the rear blocks and Maxtrac shocks

    Went with Dakar leaf packs and extended length RCD Bilstiens

    Totally worth it, best bang for the buck!

    Yeah I got the dakars and the extended rear bilstiens on the list!
