3.0 front bypasses? These just came up for the rear if you are still going to run 16" https://classifieds.race-dezert.com/ad-details.php?category=77&adid=139917

 

lol

 

I have guys here telling me after I cage it to paint it white and paint in the black writing to make it look like pvc.

 

For those that built a cage or delt with painting a cage should I expose the metal on the entire tube to make it easier to paint later. Or just the ends is fine and paint over the coating on the tube? I noticed people only clean it off for welding it together.

 

Either way use a self etching primer first and your paint will last much longer, there are so many " chassis paints " that say they are for bare metal but it's boolshite ...self etch prime first. With self etching primer I usually just scuff with scotch brite first but it's not technically necessary. Most folks will tell you that the red oxide self etching primer works the best for over the counter at Pep Boys priced products, if you want something even better try this : https://www.summitracing.com/parts/smm-39683

 

yes sir 3.hoes

i would but i only run king. thats a good deal though. theres some pure race kings on there for 2400 he claims the are brand new but its obvious they arnt lol

 

You're looking for 10" front and 16" rear then? I'll keep an eye out for you!

 

yea for now just really looking for front 3.0x10 normal blue kings. but i have my eye on some 2.5s ive seen around. just picked up some pure race front coilovers ill get next week.

 

I just went and picked up my cylinders from king yesterday and took them to Cerakote.
It’s always fun playing with shocks in their parts and pieces

 

If you have race series coilovers then get race series bypasses, they are different lengths. Its still possible to mix and match shocks, just saying that matching shocks lengths makes making shock mounts much nicer and way easier.

 

i want the race bypasses but if i can make prerunner ones work ill do it. gotta see what i can find in the race series first.
the kit will come with shock towers.

 

Yeah harder to find race. Just gotta let the fabricator know shocks are either race or non race. To take that in account into the tower. Usually at the shop they don't want customers to do that makes the tower funky, its either race or non race. Or adjust on the lower arm tabs. But yeah

 

Both of my old trucks are for sale apparently lol

 

the towers are already made. for now ill just run the coilover so i can cycle it and as i come across a race 10" ill pick it up

 

What’s it listed at?

 

I haven’t seen the ad but my buddy said 17k

 

I went and look at the RD ad and it is listed at 17k.
