Work in progress?? Lol

 

Ordered Kings for the front, think I'll order JBAs tomorrow.

Kings won't be here until the end of the month so I got some time.

@Redmann how do you like the JBAs, do you think you should have gotten the HDs?

 

James, you should definitely get the HDs. Can't wait to get you back on the trails with us. You are gonna love the Kings.

 

That's what I was thinking. I kinda don't mind waiting on the kings, gives me time to rethink and buy more expensive shit. Originally my suspension was going to cost less than the kings and Ucas.

Hopefully I'll be ready by mid May.

 

If the extra cost isn't a factor, get the HD obviously. I found my non-HD set lightly used for cheaper. From what I've read, the HDs are more for desert racing type wheeling and the slower crawling we do won't hurt the non HD ones.

 

Kinda talked myself into HDs a while back. I'm researching hydro bumps now.

One day I'm going to go really fast, Out west.

 

@steele-taco I'm hanging out in Greenville, NC this weekend. Were you from around here?

 

I grew up in Hickory, probably 3-4 hrs west of you. At some point when your down there you should make a detour to Richland gap rd. It's around Boone, I wheeled there back in the day. I might even meet you there.

See how close you are to Uwharrie nat Forrest.

 

Looks like 3 hours away. I'm only here till Sunday morning when I'm running over to Charlotte to meet a guy for some parts. Then Sunday afternoon back to philly. I was contemplating calling out of work on Monday though. I probably won't, but I should and turn this into a 4 day weekend.

 

If you don't mind me asking what shocks (and set up) did you decide for the rear?

 

Yes I do mind, that's a little personal.



Bilstein B110,that's the extended travel 5100s. Once everything is bolted up I may look into some kings that have the right travel numbers. I would have to decide if I'm going to do a shock relocate first though.

Dakar leafs cso47. I may get the extra leaf and remove an overload or perhaps just remove an overload. Might just see how it rides as is.

@Mobtown Offroad is working on a u bolt flip that uses grade 8 5/8 u bolts. That's bigger and stronger than all of the others I've seen.

Archive garage shackle flip.

 

Thanks for sharing your personal stuff with me, lol!

Cool.
When I'll be ready for my rear, I'll hit up Mobtown if their U- bolt flip kit is ready.
Shackle flip adds lift height? Articulation? Or both?

 

Shackle flip is basically just articulation. You may gain 1/2 inch from what I've read. You can get different length shackles that may give a little more lift.

The kit is done. I need to take pictures. But it all worked.

 

Anyone using OCTaco break lines.

I think @fatfurious2 and @EatSleepTacos are or know people who do. I am too but have only had them on for a month or so

 

Yep i have them. Stock +4. No issues, great service. definitely recommend

 

You got +4 inches right.

You get out to wheel today?

 

Yes.

No wheeling. @El Dahs and I both had to work.

 

Maybe you'll have yours back the next time we go?
