Ghost 2019 OR build

As she is now

Dec 10 2018 I ordered a 2019 DCSB OR 4x4 in cement. It arrived FEB 1 2019 & i took delivery the same day and traded in my 2012 DCSB Sport prerunner. I had made some modifications to my 2012 & needless to say i learned a few things about spacer lifts! (Not to use them) It looked nice!! but if you were on anything other than a smoothly paved surface it was punishing..

I just dropped it off at the shop today for instal.. here’s a list of what’s happening so far:

Front Suspension:

-Fox 2.5 DSCD coilovers
-King 600lb 14” coils
-SPC UCAs
-SDHQ cap mount chop plates

Rear Suspension

-ICON RXT leaf pack (option 1)
-FOX 2.0 RRCD extended shocks 2-3” of lift

Tires and wheels : Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/70/17. SCS Ray 10s 17x9 3.5 BS -38


Misc:

-Faux Pro grill (no TSS garnish yet)
-15% window tint 3M
- Nfab 2” tubular sidesteps (mall crawling sliders) temporary for now.
-plasti dipped the badges (for now don’t If I’m going to de badge it or not)


Future ideas:

-Kicker speaker upgrade- I want to do this sooner than later. However, my last experience installing door speakers wasn’t great (door panel and window always rattled after) everything else worked.


-Lighting (possibly a light bar behind grill)

-headlights??

-ECGS bushing (need to do this soon)




I will update later but here’s a few pics of her with 400miles on her

 

Great color, nice wheels!

 

@Hookedup I was reading this and felt like I was reading about my ideas for my truck lol. Great choice man. I'm sure it looks great. I didn't do as much underneath as it sounds like you're doing but I did 2.5 bilstein 5100's and the Ray 10's.

 

Sweet man!! What camper is that?? Gunmetal looks sweet on cement!! I chose black because... well it’s black..

my poor girl still sits at the shop awaiting them to finish up CMC, mount wheels/tires and readjust coilovers.. I’m sitting way to high in the front.. my CVs aren’t happy and neither am I

 

Did you end up switching out the springs?

 

Yes they were switched.. in hindsight, probably didn’t need to do it. I just saw what i thought to be too much preload with the fox 13” coils vs 14”. I’m sitting at almost 4” of lift now which is way too much.. getting it dialed down to 2.5 or so.

 

Yea. Definitely need to dial that down a bit lol

 

@Hookedup I actually was going to get black but 2 months ago they only had gunmetal in. So I went with it, I was nervous but liked how it turned out. It's an ARE camper top. ARE or Leer are the two to get IMO. Approx 3k. I liked the brackets on the ARE better for the hatch. From what I saw on Youtube they held up better.

 

@Hookedup i like how your TRD logo decal one the bed is all black. I'm thinking about taking mine off or getting an all black one. Not sure on the red in mine.

 

I have 285/70/17....can't wait to see yours. Mine doesn't rub but I only went 2.5. It rubs very rarely if i'm turned all the way and hit a big bump. May fix that, but you def need the cab chop with those 295's i would think

 

4x4 shop looked at me like i was crazy when i said it was too high!! Even told me my CVs looked fine!! Crazy.. it’ll get dialed in.. i didn’t even want them to drive it back into the garage lol

 

Oh yea!! Big CMC and pinch weld with some plastic. I will see about the flares when i stuff it.. hopefully it’ll be good.. I’ve seen tacos with 33x12.5 on a -38 make it without trimming the fenders/flares so it’ll be close

 

No mine is factory with the 4x4 in red.. ebay has them in all black

 

But I thought everyone wants that look? Lol.. but overall how’s the ride?

 

I had to do cmc, pinch welds and trim my flares

 

She is in the shop still.. didn’t drive it.. it’s probably horrible with no droop..

 

I'd give it a week or two before having them adjust stuff. It takes several days for new lifts to settle to normal ride height

 

Tasty little lunch welds lol.. what size and offset?

 

haha. Post was edited. I’m on 17” TRD Pro wheels with 285/70/17

 

Yea but 24.8” hub to fender?? That’s 3.8” up!! It’ll settle but only a bit
