Great White Taco build

Here’s mine at about half droop

 

Coil spring problems always looks like you got a load

 

so was it difficult to do the outer boot? just disassemble the inner and slide it on that way? i have a tear in my outer now...

 

Yup, that’s the easiest way to do it.

 

hopefully i ordered the correct clamp tool.

$34 lisle 30800 CV boot clamp pliers

lisle 30800?

 

I need to visit your alignment guy!

 

Yep, those are the ones! Has a square in each one for a 1/2” breaker bar.

 

He’s awesome. It’s a random tire shop near me that I decided to try and the guy let me hang out there with him while he did the work.

 

I might swing by and get one before I go!

 

I need to go again. Probably on Thursday.

@DOUBLLD might be helping me adjust them higher. Im definitely rubbing way more than before

 

Lift just helps with ride height rubbing. You want to try and not rub during the whole suspension cycle I.e. droop to bump, lock to lock. If you raised the ride height by 1”, and then go hit a 1” bump, you’re back in the same spot.

What you really need to do is cut and hammer shit so you don’t rub, regardless of where the tire is or what the ride height is set at. Hope that makes sense. Otherwise you’re always going to rub.

 

It was too much work to take the coilovers off, then put the wheel on, and see where I am rubbing, then put them back on.

It makes sense, but its a shit ton of work. And i need to adjust the coilovers anyways, to get me back where I was with Icons (for height).

Its always going to rub. I get it and Im ok with it. I will massage the places where I can.

 

I think mine doesn't rub anymore. I went wheeling a bit a smacked everywhere that rubbed with a big hammer.

 

If cab mount we did a mount relocate on a friends works great.

@stlntaco did a write up somewhere but I can't find it now.

 

That looks like a good product. Does it use the factory hole in the cab?

 

Even with the rubbing, i can still stuff 35s

 

Yes it did. It angled the mount further back on the frame. We raised his 2 inches as well. Along with the rest of the mounts. Trying to fit 35 with as little cutting as possible. It ain't working out for us.

 

I might need to go this route. I have the InsainFab CMC plates, but haven't installed yet

 

It wont be when you go S. U. A!

 

Pretty much this. There is only one good spot on the frame for the upper mount, and the lower is based on the available up-travel. I assume the bump will go completely flat, and do the mat on metal-to-metal between the bumpstop base and the frame. This ensures there is a little safety margin.
