The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Nice rig!

 

I like what brute force fab is putting out, also sos concepts. But I also really like the low profile winch bumper from US off-road. It’s all up to you man! Lots of choices to be had.

Looking good with that topper.

 

Thanks man. Thought about getting it color matched, but the white has grown on me. Plus more $$$ for other mods

 

Looking good. What rear hub-to-fender numbers did you end up with?

2nd gen bumpers

Welcome

 

DR - 24”
PR - 24 1/4”

 

Coming along nice. Will you run a selectable locker in the rear down the road?

How do they angles of the front CV's look? I thought that 23" was roughly the max hub-to-fender measurement for a 4x4 before the cv angles get too extreme.

 

Wow. I have the same truck. I got 3” of front lift with the 884’s and 5100s (set on zero) when i first installed them, no top plate spacer either. After it settled I ended up with 2.6” (23 1/8 “ from hub to fender). I needed UCA’s badly. Almost six years and 20,000 miles later and the outer edges of my front tires are showing wear. I recently bought a set of JBA UCA’s, an ECGS clamshell bushing and am debating on getting CVJ CV axles for lifted trucks since one of my boots leaked dry before I realized it. It’s fine now, but won’t last forever and I might as well replace them both while I’ve got everything apart. I’m going to ride it out until spring then fix it all.

 

I have had stock uca for 4 years now with a lift, but I also have and arb bumper and a winch to drop it back down. My alignment has always been fine??

 

Offhand I can’t remember the front measurements, but I’ll take a pic when there’s some sunlight. I can tell you that it’s not bad at all, like I said I maybe got an inch and a half of lift.

Damn that’s really a difference... I bought and had them assembled by wheelers off-road. I know I bought 884’s... pretty sure that’s what I got. In any case, I wanted 2” MAX so it ended up working out.

 

Speaking of 884’s I have a set I’ll give away if you pay the way. Merry Xmas

 

I bought my 884’s Five years ago, maybe they’ve changed.
I went with Wheelers 2” AAL and am very happy with them. Five years old and no squeaking.

 

I think my truck is around 24" at the front and the cv angles look decent. I have the 885's and it has the diff drop as well (was installed by previous owner). It actually had 1/2" spacers as well so it was close to 24-3/4 when I first got it and I removed the spacers.

Here's a picture when I first got it with the 1/2" spacers. The cv angles were pretty steep.

 

That white looks good man

 

Dibs, if no one has messaged you. I'll pay you for shipping

 

You got em, shipping will probably be between $60-$70 out to CA from MO tho

 

im running this

 

With that design no specific differential fluid needed I imagine.
