Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

How do you like the poly tabs?

 

Loved them on previous setup, hoping they hold up on new setup with the trimming required

 

Hoops, bumps and limit straps in.



Beat the living shit out of the front side of fender wells to clearance. They were already in bad shape so what’s a little more wrinkles gonna do. Ran out of time so I did what needed to be done to get out and give it a workout tomorrow. No pics….it’s not pretty.
Don’t judge my paint job either.

 

Bump stop tabs are on the wrong sides

 

Well shit. They fit pretty good this way. Not that this is right obviously, but we were able to pick up the coil bucket gusset with the longer one in the rear…. That was our thinking putting it on that way.

 

Started to climb elevation yesterday and started to hear a rotary clunking when the truck is under load. Pretty sure I’ve isolated the source to the front left tire. Thinking the CV isn’t very happy so we decided to not try and continue the climb.

Camped at 4,900 ft instead of 10.5k like originally planned. Still a decent view though.

 

good thing they are only tacked...wait. oh. no.

 

No…. Good thing is that it doesn’t matter. Function is exactly the same

 

Also when you’re not running a bypass shock bolt the limit strap to a single tab or run the spacer provided in between the tabs. The way you have it will bend the tabs and make getting the bypass in there a nightmare

 

Good timing. We were about a mile from airing down. Thxs!!

 

Do you have any pictures of the front skid plate that attaches to the pivot? Kinda hard to tell where it ends or mounts exactly up against the aftermarket bumper in the pictures on the site. I remember an older picture with a stock bumper not sure if thats the same skid though

 

She dirty but not broke.

 

It’s amazing you’re even alive right now considering the bump stop situation.

 

Little pissed right now. The bumps are wearing off the powder coat. Harry never mentioned that.

 

SMH vendors these days. I expect my PC to be literally bulletproof.

 

What tire and wheel are you running? Seems about as tucked and close to the spindle gusset as you can go, which I like

 

maybe you could position them to rub off all of those spray paint runs

 

They are just a 4.5 backspace wheel and Hankook 315/75-16 tire

Thought I said no judging?...lol. In my defense that particular can of SteelIt was pressurized to 3000psi...One push of the sprayer and that shit would come flying out like you wouldnt believe...literally projectile vomit. Shit's expensive so I just went with it. Hopefully the second can I got isnt quite so bad.

 

JD steering and spindle gussets putting in some work today.
