I see you @llamasmurf. Where's the pics of your lift?

 

Saturday morning surprises...

Sorry was out driving the fucking thing!@

Dont have exact messurements as I didnt have a perfect flat area to take them, but getting in and out there is a HUGE difference in where the sliders hit me now. They used to bump into my calf mid way, now they hit the back of my knee at the top. I think we got back the 1 inch I had sunk her, then got about 2.5 inches on top of that.

 

It's here...

 

Apparently this winter is going to be super snowy and cold.

 

26 degrees and sunny tomorrow. I love my job. lol

 

I love your job too...

 

Yeah, it's Rough Country 4inch.
At the rear, I don't have the leveling block anymore. Ski took it out when installing OME Dakars since I gained that height with the new leafpack. I been talking with Ben from Filthy Motorsports out of Colorado. They are big on King and I'm almost sold on them after our talks. I know Icons and Fox are good as well. Kings are pricey though.
Maybe I should go see Ski and get his opinion.

 

Oh nice on the dakars. Love mine.

Based on what I gathered from joe. The foxes last longer and take less maintenance. In terms of performance I think the kings are way better but reliability aren’t there. Again this is from what joe was telling me and what he gathered from ski. Foxes were the middle performance and better reliability between icon and kings. Again from what I gathered from joe. And what he gathered from ski lol.

Never hurts to call. Ski is pretty straight up and is probably who you’ll be going to if you need them rebuilt (based on location atleast)

 

Look into JBA ball joint UCAs that @Taco-Can is running. There's a cutout in the "cup" that allows for equal or better articulation than uniballs.

 

had a great time wheeling in the snow in Ardbeg today

 

today in Ardbeg

 

Can't wait for the snow to come...

 

yep

same thing many have said on here too
Kings for off road performance
Icon for on road performance
Fox for a mix of the two.

From what I hear Icon's can go 3-4 years between rebuilds
Kings are almost every year. This is only if you have remote reservoirs that is.


But not even sure if Kings make a non remote res

 

And here in Toronto it's +16 tomorrow.

 

Which means we should all be in Ardberg!

 

I got my Nokians on, ready to roll!

 

I now have my entire old suspension for sale. Just going to clean it up today and take some pics of it.

Then figure out how much it is actually worth.

Dont even have to go for an alignment, my mechanic did a bang up job. Steering wheel is perfectly straight, and the truck does not wander at all if you take your hands off the wheel at any speed.

 

but with lift your toe and camber is often out...

 

Double check to make sure it's all good. I burnt a set tires that drove ok but alignment wasn't perfect. As I noticed the wear around the inner circumference, I just drove until it was almost bald before I replaced it. I have a spare now..LOL!
