The Lair

i came from b110, i gained more up travel than down, maybe even 0 for down

 

You did relocate and 12”??

 

yeah, i dont have shackle flips like you-- hammer hangers from bamf

 

It looks great!!! I'm learning about lifts and like to make sure I am on the right page when I am storing data in my base.

 

Most of the droop comes with the shackle flip.

 

you don’t have to drill a hole in the floor board like shown in the thread?

 

Well most people don’t like the way ome rides up front. I don’t have a problem with it. And I have 886 springs.

 

Nope I didn’t.

 

yep, i got the hammer hangers instead since i have been in several situations where i landed there and stuff was slowly bending over time. would be nice to have something that offered both more droop and protection

 

I have no baseline except the original Hitachi's. My suspension upgrade will be happening soon then I can speak from experience. I just like to know what other people are doing, have done, or would never do again, just because I like to learn stuff.

 

Go to an off-road event and ride with a couple different people with different set ups.

 

Yea I probably should have done that and it was suggested by many people. However I did go with what I feel was the best information and advise available. I'm 110% confident the information was solid and that I made the right choices. My upgrade is scheduled to occur very soon. I definitely don't need the articulation your showing though. Having and knowing my limits is usually the best policy for me. I plan on going slow and taking it easy until I develop my skills.

 

i would only run 886 if you plan on going full plate up front. the guy who bought mine didnt do so and said he wanted more lift than anything.....lift he got but i double it will be a smooth drive

 

I went with Bilstein 6112s up front. They come pre-assembled and even compensate for the lean associated with the 3rd Gens. The height should only be 2.5" and I suspect that will settle a little over time.

When I feel ready to add armor it will be to go places that require it and likely a even more appropriate suspension setup.

At least these are my plans.

 

How did you do the red goat fag can mount relocation brackets without drilling the new hole further back

 

Newest version of 3.8 gal Waterport is selling at Costco.com for $169

It has a Schraeder valve AND a built in hand pump to pressurize. Comes with hardware for several mounting options.

Wish it was bigger like the road showere

 

Don’t we all?

 

You probably wont have too much settling without added extra weight in the front, but I can't really comment on OME springs. Mine are eibachs.

 

I bet Rob might jump in anyway. IIRC 6112s are 2.5" shocks, and come with their own 3" springs. After adding weigh, one could preload the spring or change for a stiffer one - most probably Eibach - to add height.
I was looking to get those as well, but at the time they were on back order for a few months. Would have save bunch of $... Oh well
