1st Gen on 37's, Long Travel. Completion Date: TBD

Sub'd

 

Nope, not doing bypasses. I don’t want the clicking from them.

The hoops fit, but getting them to clear is not easy. They are not perfect by any means; but they are close. If custom doesn’t work they are worth the cost, just don’t expect a plug and play solution

 

What I kind of expected haha - glad you're going to be done soon!

 

i sure hope so. i think i need to relocate the battery to fit everything; that wasnt part of the plan.
i might even need to do custom fuel lines; i may have cut one on accident...

so that text wasnt some spam number??

 

Lol no - sorry I saw you saw my post about the 10" bypasses needing welded rod ends so I thought I'd send you the link to those ones on offer up. The ibp's are a sweet idea in this application especially because of that issue as well. I was thinking of doing soft return lines since my evap canister is up in the engine bay (pre 01's had it there) - I guess with 37's they'll need more space at bump than your stock battery tray can fit. I'll be alright with my 33's until I go to big boy tires!

 

talking with paul, this was the best middle ground. no clicking but compression adjustment and additional bump control. he said this is more common now that its an option, cheaper too.
its not the tires, its the hoop. that thing is massive once installed. ya, evap canister is up there too. ill look into rerouting lines to clean everything up once i have a working truck again.
ill be happy when its done, but like everything mid process is just depressing

 

Driver side.

 

Still 100% smog legal. Should be bumped and strapped just shy of 17”. It does just shy of 18 before the uca hits everything

 

So rad!

 

Bumps, straps, and reservoir mounts done

 

Still need to make a custom fuel line, bleed brakes, finish battery relocation, top off some fluids, and then it’s ready for a test drove.

 

She lives, should probably true up the alignment.

 

How much lift would you say came from the spindles - do the coils seem like the correct spring rate? I see you have like zero preload.

 

3”
500/500, might need 500/600
No preload

 

So that's the desired ride height and would be close to stock without the spindles or any additional preload? I've got 500/600 but I have more weight like a front diff, axles, tube bumper, and a winch.

 

desired ride height for me or for you?

 

Truck looks hard AF. Good job man.

 

It's appreciated! Been a long time coming

 

I can tell. Blood sweat and tears.....and time.....and money haha.

 

not that much money in the grand scheme. not saying its cheap, but less than a shop bill for either end
