Idk, maybe try a ace or something. Worse case a dealer. but a angle grinder can make any nut a castle not.

 

It's surprising they ran 882s with that much front end weight...the 882s are only rated at 500#. Same as the 881s just longer. I would imagine for 2-3 inches of lift and steel bumper/skids it would be better to run 883s at 600#

Then again Crow had 881s and a double cab with ARB bumper and claimed it didn't sag...I still don't believe it but that's what he said lol

 

Maybe he wanted it to ride lower, or softer. Idk

 

Never been a corvette fan. Always preferred the viper. But that does look cool

 

882s would make more sense then since you get more lift out of them.

 

Spose so.


I guess I could replace the whole TRE too but I'd rather not.

 

Your truck is lifted. That's not the stock suspension you have adjustable 5100s and I'm betting they're on the 2nd notch.

Also those look like lift shackles in the rear I think

 

Over 881s

Both are 500# springs but the 882s give another ~.5 - 1" lift.

 

I just watch that release

 

Was it @cruiserguy who told me about the fan trick? No mosquito bites this time and the air was nice

 

It's a good looking car.

 

I'd get inside of it

 

10pm and were down to a cozy 87 deg inside the house

 

Sounds less cozy and more sweaty asscrack to me.

 

Actually, I'm on 881s now. It's dropped just slightly after putting the ARB on (no winch). So far, everything I've read as well as checking in with Josh over @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc , the route to go if I want to add the winch would be 882s. That is if I want to keep the stance that I have now.

Winch is still a month or more out. Not in a rush but when I do get around to it will go with 882s and if that doesn't work will swap to 883s. I think the 882s will do fine with the winch.

 

I've slept about 2-4 hours each the last 2 nights cuz it's too damn hot

 

It's officially hot when my border collie mix velcro dog sleeps on the floor instead of the bed.

 

That's why I refuse to sleep anywhere that doesn't have climate control. AC for the win. Poor blokes Midwest and all the way East are going to bake this weekend. Sucks.
