Ontario BS Thread

Icon RXT Multi Pack on Option #2 + Eibach Sport Strut in the rear. Fullish tank, about 150lbs in rear + diamondback and RCI sliders.

Front is not yet installed as I'm waiting for the lean spacer in the mail. Will be 2nd notch eibach. Hopefully will still have rake, don't wanna regret 2nd notch vs 1st.

My rear was fuckered - could get maybe one had vertical between the tire and fender, now I can stack two hands on top.

Did not end up using the stock shims, no vibe so far. Thanks @3JOH22A, @somebody, @Saturnine, @Norilsk, @TacoPandaTRD for answering my dumbass questions mid-install

 

TSBs are always updated if available for your truck. Thats a requirement as the tunes are made for the latest TSB only.

 

That's great. Much better than convincing a reluctant dealership to update. Thanks!

 

conflicting schedules. have to pick my wife up Saturday... I'll confirm what time I have to pick her up - might be able to pop in early!

 

Not anymore... My dog preferred the DC with the leather couch, so the AC had to go... Now the DC will be re-purposed! Will be upgrading suspension eventually.

 

Steve farts...blames the wife

Got it

 

What is your hub to fender measurement?

 

Did someone say mall crawl?

 

Will tell you tomorrow when I check again! Forgot to write it down this time...

But for reference I was 21.5 passenger rear and 21.25 driver rear before the lift, I am at least a couple+ higher now.

Front bumper + Wings
Sliders
Rear bumper + Tire carriers.


whelp, i almost tore off my rear bumper cap. i could use a tire swing out as well....

 

Rear bumper has to have relocated hitch for me to be interested

 

Exactly!

 

yeah looking at it further, seems it's a little more high clearance in the corners than stock and has the ability to have the swing outs. i might talk to the guys at 4wp on my lunch about it. my guess is that the rear bumper is designed to most likely complaint for most states/provinces that don't want people messing with the hitch location or something.

or that it's meant for the average folk that hits trails and not crawl rocks. that way people can still pull a trailer in.

 

Under FMVSS passenger pickup truck rear bumpers are not a safety item.
So they do not have to send it out for testing before they put it to market,
You can strap a 2x4 to your frame rails and be compliant.

Trailer hitches are regulated and they'd have to send it out for certification to SAE and FMVSS specs.
Expensive.

+ an integrated trailer hitch adds shipping weight.

 

Incoming trail mod

 

@Saturnine I'm roughly 24.25" on passenger and 23.75" on drivers. I do not know if the front lean spacer will remedy this offset to the rear at all, but I'm hoping it closes the gap a bit. For reference, my tailgate was full, 150ish lbs and 3/4 full tank.

Hope that helps.

 

instead of a 2x4. but in a full foot wide and 6 or 7ft long log as a bumper. Once you get stuck in a rut or mud hole, you can pull the log off and toss it under the wheels like the standard issue Russian Log for every tank.
Multi use item.

Ah, so i was partially correct. doesn't matter for bumpers then but it does matter for the trailer hitch itself. interesting, thanks for the clarification

does bashing my hitch against rocks classify as modifying it?
