The Lair

I never even hit my bumps in the rear unless rock crawling at slow speeds, so I don't need a soft cushion. I just want them there to protect my shocks. It also helps measurements because you don't need to take compression into account (well, a teeny bit). They're pretty hard bumps.

 

Good option for when I..I mean he..gets Kongs

 

yasss. They're so shiny and sexy. Buy is as a present to yourself when you close on the new house. In fact, roll it into the negotiations with the seller lol

 

Supposed to be getting my brother's 12" RR Kongs when he jumps to 14's but that is taking so long for him to get to a welder

 

Why's he need a welder to make the jump?

Wait I vaguely remember, he's going Ferd towers with 14" 2.0 Kongs.

 

​

 

Yes. Cut out the BAMF mounts and burning in front Ford towers

 

Fuuuuuck that’s gonna be a lot of work. Cutting off stock stuff sucked. Cutting off 1/4” thick stuff is gonna suck even more.

 

I think he's holding out for the local guy that does everything with a plasma cutter. Still will suck but a lot less than an death wheel

 

How is your shock staying compressed with no zipties or strap or anything mine want to extend when I take the strap off.

 

Because #RandallFab

 

If you know how to gouge the welds with a plasma it isn't that bad. Plasma cutters make a world of difference

 

They’re not charged right now. Getting that done Thursday

At first I was annoyed I’d have to charge them but honestly it made getting everything fit up and taking measurements so much easier.

 

Mine aren't charged yet and they still extend on their own.

 

well hello to you too @Slashaar

 

It sounds like yours are charged then. Mind don't move even a tiny bit on their own.

 

Why'd you end up welding them in?

 

I only welded one in. I jacked up the axle as far up as I felt comfortable, so I could get the bumps in the correct spot. On the passenger side, the correct placement was right up against the vertical wall of the frame. I couldn't get a nut on it, and I didn't want to move it away from hitting center of the u bolt plate. So I welded the bitch. On the driver side it was about 1/3" more inboard and there was room to use the nut. I assumed it'd be identical on each side but apparently not? Or maybe my measurements were off. Either way the bumps are set and the passenger side isn't going anywhere haha

 

Hmmmmmm time to get a gauge on them and check then.
