    Leaf mounts can change but still have to be leafs.

    UCA and LCA pivot points could theoretically change, but it still would have to remain IFS coilover.

    There are limits though to stretching or lessening wheelbase.

    Definately must be stock frame. I believe it also talks about factory cross members.

    14" of travel will get you in LT travel territory and I'm not sure what you'll benefit from more with more up travel or under-axle clearance out back, but SUA will be in the neighborhood of 14" if you strap it or bump it early. Does the track width have to be stock?

    Track width does not have to be stock. LT would be a definate on this build.

    I've been thinking about adding one of those. It looks like that one straps on top of your existing mirror?
    How heavy is it/ how much weight does it add to the regular mirror?

    It's not that heavy. I think it's just a little heavier than my Samsung S9. I tightened the set screw on the back of the actual mirror so the weight of this mirror doesn't pull it down.

    Oh ok. So it has an attachment mechanism that doesn't let the mirror flop around from the extra weight?

    The straps it uses to strap to the existing mirror are rubber, so it keeps the screen from moving around on the existing mirror.

    The existing mirror has a set screw on the back that if tightened makes the mirror much harder to adjust (I.E. much harder for it to sag from the added weight of the screen)

    nice! been thinking about getting something similar to replace my rear view mirror. not like I can see anything out of the back window these days. Main thing stopping me is getting lazy just thinking about having to run the wires from the mirror to the camera. ha

    Ya... I had this thing sitting on my work bench since the 1st of the year... because I didn't want to have to screw with running the wires through the headliner. :rofl:


    The rear view camera has been mounted since I re-built the rack, because I wanted all that wiring in side the rack, instead of being exposed. I had just ran it down and left the plug behind the passenger tail light, until I got around to finishing it.

    Think I'm still going to do a forged crank if I can find a good one.

    No supercharger should save me a couple thousand bucks lol
