Intro to fitting 35s (< 3" Lifts for those that wheel and love alignments)

But maintenance and repairs/improvements from finding weaknesses offroad

 

You've got plenty of offset.

 

Mine's been off for i don't know how long know. I still hang clover leafs on and off the hwy at 35+ it just feels kinda like a trophy truck lifting the inside wheel off the ground now (doesn't actually do that, I save the air time for the trails).

Yes remove the sway bar if you want more articulation. If you keep the tools with you and want to run it on the street just arrive early before offroading and disconnect. Glorified welder was just saying that the TC gussets that are meant to retain the sway bar are the stronger ones on the market by the big suspension manufacturers. They better support the flimsy stalk and out tie rod attachment.

 

And this now has thread has me wondering if I should just remove the Sway Bar while i'm in there doing a ECGS needle bearing replacement and pulling my CVs..??
I am mostly just a Daily Driver, with some light wheeling and a bunch of beach driving....

Does the Sway Bar really do that much on-road?

 

Yes. But........ You have bigger tires that roll more under side load, lifted, etc. I'd keep it on if you don't really offroad

 

Thank you, I thought that the cab mount is the only place it will rub... Thanks for taking the time to show me.

 

Just wait till you hit full bump and turn the wheel.

 

I'll post up pics. I keep saying that but I don't have wheels yet, I'm in a very romote part of the world where finding a 17x9" wheel is rare. They have all been used up by donkey carts and gas engine water generators to get water from the lake to the farm. its a placed where patience is a must for any auto parts that are not from a corolla. Most don't know where it is but I'll say it anyway, To-ront-to. when it comes to motorsports we're at the mercy of the USA for our supply


as edit just to add: what was a one day turn around for motorcycle tires hear has turned into a week to just get the tires. Covid19 and shipping from the states are to blame.. so they tell me. so to confirm Canadians are at the mercy of the states when it comes to Motorsport parts..

 

MUST. SEE. PICS!

 

Ok so 2017, 35” km3s, 3” lift on king coilovers, camburg uniball ucas and cmc done. Alignment tech was able to get me these numbers. Is this ok? I don’t rub the cab mount except slightly at full turn full flex. Seems to drive fine. Am I good? Or is the caster too high?

 

I ran it like that for a long time. High caster has alot of return to center, so steering wheel might snap back a little. It might also follow ruts more.

 

what do you run at now?

 

About the same. A little closer to 6 degrees. I tried 3 degrees and rubbed too much. Im also on 37s now tho but alignment hasnt changed.

 

nice! Thanks

 

How are you protecting the intake with the fender liner removed or cut besides a snorkel ?

 

My fender liners are still in place so they still provide a lot of protection. With the snorkel however the intake is completely protected.

I never trimmed the fenders so ...

 

Bilstein 5100 front bottom clip and 887 coils
Rear has a 2 " block
2" body lift
Cmc and bottom of fender trimming

17x9 procomp series 69 wheel -6 offset
It's very close but it fits.

 

Okay guys I am stoked! Probably need to trim more with the grinder but that’s easy while it’s open. I can full lock around town, it’s so nice

 

Good work man!

AND your jack stands arent being recalled like every single set of mine!
