Coot83's bro inspired "Baller Maller" Build

Ah thanks brother! Cool to see you stop by. I like the graphic you got going on your ride, makes it very unique!

 

You mean the red and black decal on my ugly ass front end? lol Thanks man.

To save a few minutes.. why'd you go away from the RTT and go with the softopper. My original plan was a RTT, then I changed my mind to a softopper and changed my mind back to RTT. The RTT is in my garage currently.

 

Yea man I remember at one time you had an idea about matching your bed graphics I think to the front decal? I think its a nice custom touch that helps its stand out. Just cause Im not fond of the front end, doesn't mean its not a good looking truck...just got my issues haha.

As far as the softopper, its just a bandaid at the moment. Im getting ready to go LT in the rear and have glass bedsides because of it. I wanted to preserve the bedsides and so I am waiting until I can get a custom fabbed RTT bed rack "add-on" if you will where it utilizes the front part of my bed cage for my shocks going through the bed and the rear of the bed rack for the RTT would use the bed bolts. That way the load can stay on the frame. In the mean time, I prefer having a clean truck bed since its not covered by the RTT.

Once I get the bed rack for my RTT made, I likely wont really use the softopper anymore. What actually got the softopper on in the first place is I went for work temporarily to Texas and it made a great water proof platform for my extra stuff I brought. RTT is the way to go!

 

Are you going with longer Kings in the back when you go LT?

 

Yep I def will. Gonna cut off the bamf relocation completely and then route 16 inch triples through the bed.

It would be a disservice to the kit to not have them run through the bed as you cant cycle the full amount of it as intended. My current sua is nice on small bumps, but choppy on the big stuff which hopefully having 15-17 inches of travel will help alleviate.

 

Should be wicked. Selling your current rear shocks at some point? Asking for a friend.

 

Yea man Im hoping so as it was a pretty penny! Sadly they got claimed pretty quick by the infamous "Maryland Mike" or else I would offer them up!

 

Have you looked into doing ORI Struts?

 

ORI? Not sure of the term, but I will likely stick with what I got since my bed cage is already configured for the shocks to be in a fixed location from the top hat point of view.

 

Can't wait to see the setup.

 

Me too brother!

 

ORI is a brand. They're air shocks. A number of the SAS guys run them.

 

Maybe? I don't know what all they make. I just recognize the brand name from reading the SAS build threads.

 

Infamous

 

Alright guys, just got on the schedule with Iron Pig to install my LT kit, box the frame, and install hydro bumps!

Fuck outta here with them speed bumps!

 

One step closer to killing the mallz with door sill decals!

EPIC!

 

Have you done that to yours yet?

 

Lol actually no. I need to get on that.
