Northern Virginia Roll Call

My recommendation to you is to buy 12” king 2.0 smoothies and a BAMF rear shock relocate. Comes out cheaper than the bolt in Kong’s, and you get wayyyy more travel. What rear leafs do you have?

 

This is Adams truck with dakars, poly bushings in the shackles, and a relocate.

 

Currently I have factory leafs with an AAL but I also have a set of Dakars on the way.

 

Is that the setup that you're running? Saw your IG video, your ass end is goals

 

Then I’d stick with my recommendation, and a couple little odds and ends. If you decide to go this route, I’ll get you a more complete list with links.

I have the 12” king smoothies, dakars, hammer hangers (this replaces where the leafs mount to in the back), extended brake lines, polyurethane bushings in my shackles, and some limit straps.

And thank you, I’m VERY happy with it. I don’t see ever changing it from what it is now.

 

You ordered from Summit Racing? Were they actually the cheapest option? Did you check DSM, SDHQ, and/or Filthy Motorsports?

 

yikes I was gonna head there later this week since it's close by. Guess I'm heading to radial this weekend from the raving reviews on here

 

Thanks

 

Does anyone know any 3rd gen rear bumpers that will still allow the parking sensors and BSM to work if you transfer them over? Looking very far into the future, but I guess its time to start looking

 

Most will work with the parking sensors. Only one vendor works with the BSM that I know of. I think it's CBI, but not 100% sure. Google can help. All I know is that I wasn't thrilled about the bumper and moved on.

I'm going with the Mobtown rear and then try and fab something up for the BSM. I'm not even sure it'll work.

 

Why didnt you like it??

 

It has an angled license plate mount which may be an issue with VA state police. I also wasn't keen on their license plate light solution. It's just a strip of LEDs you stick to the bottom of the tailgate. I also don't think I liked the way the hitch was incorporated. Price and shipping may have been a problem as well.

 

Hmm okay. So do most rear bumpers have the little slots for the parking sensors, or would I have to do that myself?

 

Everything I've looked at has them.

My criteria for a bumper was utilizes OEM plate lights, parking sensors, BSM, trailer plug, and hitch. Mobtown has all that except two. But when I saw how they incorporated the hitch into the bumper I was fine with it. Plus not having to pay shipping?

 

Yep, exactly. That was very helpful, and the no shipping is a biggy as well

 

I was working on folks' cars for beer money. But I've gotten too busy for that later.

 

I had $500 in "Summit bucks" that I've acquired over the years plus an extra hundred off any order over $1000. So $1904.60 didn't seem too hateful for brand new Kings.

 

I've found some really good prices a few times on summit by searching part numbers.

 

That makes sense. The extra discounts probably evened it out. I know the 3 places that I mentioned are usually the cheapest options.

 

You know me....you get me....you heart me...
