Northern Virginia Roll Call

Rock on! What's happening?

I'm drunk posting (feeling right) in other threads.

 

im at work unfortunately. just looking at info on lifting my truck

 

Right on!

I'm doing my best from doing just what you said.

 

its best not to do it drunk ull buy stuff, like say kings

 

Nah... No kongo's yet.

Give me a min. though.

 

maybe start with billys?

 

Or OME.

 

Running them shocks (5100's) on the Jeep, with TJM springs. they ok.

Thinking Complete OME set up, if I do.

 

they popped on my second gen drove me nuts

 

Noted.

 

Damn, that sucks. I’ve run them on two trucks now with zero issues.

 

What popped? I'm used to a live/solid axle?

Spring or shock?

 

theres is a internal bump supposable from what headstrong said

 

Yeah.. Seen Bils web vid on it... Not sure I trust it. Thinking the BS.. but what does I knows

My opinion.... if maxed out the shock to hit the internal, you've already gone to far. But see how this can save a shock....

If it does. it's not like there is a whole lotta play in there. I'd say an inch at the most. Sprung weight can play havoc on shit.

 

i had the heavy kit on my truck and it popped constantly. it was super annoying

 

Rite. Gotcha.

This is where I experiment with shit.

Take my jeep of instance..

Everybody said run this, run that. I finally found TJM linears (springs) and the Bil 5100's ok. A bit stiff when lite, but dang nice when loaded. RK progressive springs and 5100's.. not so much, to bouncy when lite. stiff as hell when loaded (felt the bottomed out all the time). Most run Rancho's (shocks), to which I'm not a fan. but that's on me.

Some times the franken' lift plays out better for the individual.

 

I haven't had any issue with mine on a 3rd gen, with almost 32k on them. The dakars will always squeak though.

 

Evening Camper..

The lovely sounds of leafs..not gonna say I miss that. My old form yester years 84 sr5 with 2 an ah half AAl's at all 4 corners... freaking wake up the dead.

 

One day when you get to see mine youll here it coming around the bend. But ive also subjected it to lots of mud, sand water. Very regularly.

 

Ha HA! Rite rite.

"F" mud! To many years in it.

I'll do it to get from A to B. but dam if I go looking for it.

What up, Nick?
