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

Yeah. So half moon/coil bucket/shock mount from top to bottom was my assumption. I’m using a bypass mount so I didn’t mount it.

 

We’re cooking with gasoline now boys.

 

Waiting for Harry to tell me what I did wrong. I call that “pulling an @Airdog “

 

The limit strap is supposed to be spaced out away from the arm if you’re going to run a bypass. If not I’d get a shorter bolt and ditch one of the spacers

 

this thread is no longer sfw. you can't have topless Farley

warming up the response now...

"yea you really Tom'd that one"
"where'd you get your instructions from, Toms garage?"



@Airdog (not)

edit: to be fair he really only boogered the bump and it's working fine so...play ball.

 

I take my lumps. No excuses here. Most of it’s because I’m lazy and don’t ask questions. My go to is…fuck it ,it fits, weld it! Trust me when I say @Yotamac is sick of hearing that while welding on my truck.

 

And the lower limit strap bolting. Which was helpful to me because I knew not to do it.

Overall this thread has been very helpful during the install, between Harry showing where he put the upper limit mount, my questions I’ve been asking, someone talking about notching the coil bucket so I knew to actually read the instructions and do the same. Stuff like that. There really haven’t been any surprises.

 

The only surprise you will have is the first time you take it in the dirt... why did you wait so long to pull the trigger

 

Gotcha I will have to see. my lines are super long they are def too long for how they are setup but are in a way they work and have been fine for a few years. Switching to a LT setup so if needed I can move them position 1. How long were yours?

 

Does the coil bucket gusset interfere with brake lines in a stock length application?

 

You can bend them out of the way, I just did this for a customer

 

No clue lol. It’s what came with the dirt king kit. I’d go out snd measure but it’s hot as balls right now

 

haha il get to it eventually. my LT has another set in there as well but pretty sure the ones on my truck are Long AF.

 

Upside down king stickers? You are such a rebel

 

I went so far as to buy a new pair off of ebay so I could have them in the correct orientation. I'm also going to make some one piece splash guards. I want at least one nice wheel well pic before it's never this clean again.

 

Smart. I ordered the same rubber Eddie uses for $40 and made splash guards for in front of my headlights, behind and in the fender well. Best mod I’ve done in a while!!

 

I made one side today with some tool box drawer liner. Came out pretty solid.

 

@81Trekker Just a thought.... Have you thought about offering a stock length LCA with the ball joint moved forward? In my opinion, this would probably sell great to anyone that doesn't have access to a welder, the time required to do the job or the necessary skills to do the job. Obviously it wouldn't be as strong as your replacement LCA pivot but it would be a great alternative to the stock length TC, Dirt King, OEM, etc. lower control arms. You already have the .25" upper control arms available so this seems like a it would be a natural fit and a great option to have. Being a bolt-in solution, it could be installed in a couple of hours by the average person versus a much longer, more in depth install and it would eliminate the need to hire a professional if you don't have a welder or the required skills. Personally I would definitely be interested in this product and I think they would probably end up outselling the LCA pivots due to the ease of install.
