Alabama thread!

Dang jonny beat you to them sorry lol

 

It's all good brother, you need them more than I do!

 

Pulled two out that day him and the F250 that got stuck going to pull him out.

 

ha! That was his brother. You pulled him uphill as well didn’t you?

 

Yeah, Had to tie my rear bumper to a tree to keep me from sliding when I pulled Chris out lol

 

That boy knows how to get stuck better than anyone

 

Yes but I like riding with him

 

He said he is probably in for windrock in December

 

I know Trey already mentioned it but U-bolts are torque-to-yield meaning they stretch the first time you torque them. I’m not saying I haven’t reused them before but new they are like $40 and cheap insurance. Losing a U bolt while wheeling can rip the whole axle out from under the truck.

Or you could do the Wheeler’s U bolt flip $78

I used bump stops from Autozone for a mid 2000s Silverado $50

 

Thanks Tyler! I will look into it. Im going to get them put in when my locker gets back so i can just tear down the whole back end.

 

I have the same bump stop setup as Tyler and there are pictures in my build thread for reference

 

No but I work 12 hour shifts at night so it feels like I there all the time.

 

Anyone have bushings or know anywhere i could get some this weekend for the springs?

 

I think you could probably get them at 4wp? You can put energy suspension bushings in them also

 

@Jerneyman have you seen this thread? Pretty sweet concept.

ill check with them. Thanks!

 

You can reuse the bolts just not the nuts I think.

Saw other post about reason for not using the bolts so will let someone else chime in. Does make some sense though.

 

Been following that thread for a while. Concept is cool. Just not sure the work involved is worth it. Maybe it is, idk. I want to see 35s installed and tested under real world circumstances before I buy in to it. It took Marlin Crawler a long time to develop their kit and make it handle correctly, so I’m a bit skeptical at this.

 

Yea, it’s a cool concept but I’m not sure it’s worth it for 35s. Rubbing the firewall and reinforcing the LCA mounts would be way easier and more than enough for what someone will put an IFS rig through.

 

Anybody looking for some new shades? Tryna offload my pair of Oakley Mainlinks for $75 if anyone’s interested
