Northern Virginia Roll Call

That’s how I roll I’ll do anything to get the first post on page 4,000

 

Sigh, guess it's just one of those days. I hate people. Pisses me off twice as much because the rest of my truck is pretty much perfect.

Edit: dammit, it didn’t embed. Oh well

I can play this game all day Dave.

 

How about you knock about 5-10% off there, Randy.

Edit: Don't start with me. I WILL turn this into a Letterkenny thread.

 

Think I might do some light off roaming today

 

An unlike/relike for the edit, eh @EatSleepTacos ? Now that really is what I appreciates about you.

 

I instinctually went to hit like when I saw the edit but I unliked it. So of course I liked it again.

I also really like that I'm the top of page 4,000

 

Just make sure that crossmember has good support, so it doesn't put too much force.on too small an area of the frame.

 

I was going to box in about 5” width worth it frame on each side with 1/4”, and have the cross bar welded to that. I don’t do any crazy high speed stuff so this would mainly just support the axle at full droop while rock crawling.

I was gonna also use 1/8” wall DOM so this bitch will be stout.

 

That will work. I just hung my limit strap off the frame plates.

 

Im thinking about going this route.

 

I win Dave


Where exactly? On the outer frame rail? I shoulda looked at dinner the other night.

 

I added a 3/16 plate inside the frame, probably 10" long. Then attached the limit strap clevis to that.

Actually, I welded the clevis on first, off the truck, then put the plate in.

I think there's pics in my build at the beginning

 

That’s what I wanna do, as far as welding everything off the truck first, and then burning it into the frame. Out of position welding sucks.

 

Easier with the bed off. I did mine with the bed on the truck.

 

Oh I bet. I’m a glutton for punishment though so bed will be on and I’ll be in my driveway on some jackstands, even though I could probably use joes lift. That’s the randyfab way.

 

PM inbound.

 

Pardon my rookieness, but can someone briefly explain to me why I'd need new UCA's if I got like a 2in lift?

 

You don’t unless you go above 2.5 typically but they help with adjustability and give more travel. It depends on what setup you get and what your numbers are after. It will help with alignment as well when lifting and keeping cv angles good. More will chime in.
