Sold Bronze Bonnie and Black Betty now BS and random questions

Nothing yet. We are D-Day +1 right now

 

Really thought that was where you were.

 

Haha nope just decided to sleep in and the pup needed to get her stiches out this morning

 

jztacoma- how are those 255’s holding up? I’m looking to get mine (255/85R16 on 16” TRD PRO wheels) in the next couple of months and and am hoping I’m making the right choice.

 

They’ve been holding up really well. I took them off for the winter to run the snow tires. I haven’t been keeping track of mileage to well haha I think I’m around 16k on them or so. Stock gearing has been ok with it and on the highway it’s always gotten better mileage compared to stock tires haha long as I keep it under 70mph but the speedo always reads slower then you’re actually going so def GPS check it. If the Speedo says 70 you’re actually doing almost 80, so 65 was 70 I’ve found. Def recommend the st max and also this size though. I might look at the 255/75/17 on the next set just for cost and alos a lighter tire to help with city traffic

 

Ok so after the winter I noticed my driver side looked a little slanted. Checked it and driver side is 22.5” passenger is like 23” rear is 24.25” both sides. So looks like I need to pick up a strut spacer to solve the lean issue. Other then that suspension has held up well little over 20,000 miles on the setup. Probably gonna partake in the Relentless Fab bed rack launch just waiting on a shipping quote to make sure it won’t be to crazy.
Probably two weeks do the tire swap and oil changes

 

Anyone know if the poly spacers are any good?

 

@tacobell007 Anything?

 

Never had experience with them... I would assune the Poly has some give to it so it may have a slightly better to negligible difference in ride quality. If it were me I think I would rather the aluminum for a more solid mounting surface

 

Thanks bud. I was having the same kind of thinking. Poly is pretty durable stuff but not as much as aluminum in this case

 

No problem! Feel free to ask more questions, I have helped people pick out lifts and installed many lifts for members. @DrFunker @Cativelense and @Unchained 5150 to name a few

 

Worth every penny, work is impeccable. They treat your vehicle with respect, like it is their own. And when I get my new Front and Rear KINGS Drew will be putting those in as well.

 

Yeah I have the 6112s in the front and Dakar’s and B110s in the rear. I noticed after the winter and 20k the driver side is def leaning and was going to put a 1/4 spacer on the driver side to level it back out

 

I wanted Kings but just don’t have the money for them and was little hesitant with the NE winter destroying them. I went Bilstein 6112s last year and totally love them. For the ride, price, and everything they fit how I use the truck. It has settled more on the driver side so just going to add a spacer to level it back out. Kind of what I miss about my last truck with adjustable coil overs where I just need to adjust the threaded collars to raise and lower it

 

Fair enough! I'd go with the aluminum

 

Yeah probably gonna go with the headstrong one just cause of the free shipping

 

I always liked their customer service and free shipping

 

They’ve been fast with answers when I was putting the lift together. I ended up piecing it together from multiple places to try and save some money. I got the leaf springs and bushings and rear brake lines from them. Free shipping is a blessing, was going to get the spacer from Wheelers and to ship it was more than the spacer

 

I got my Dakars with bushings, set of brake lines (which I went custom length with a local guy instead), and got my Icon 11" travel 2.0 rear shocks from them

 

I got lucky with the Dakar’s cause I was one of the last group of ppl to get the older style
