picking up a set of 100w 6000K for my lights up front

 

on by this weekend?

 

nah it'll take a few days for my guy to source the bulbs, but once I get them i'll def post pics. Im gonna go with 6000K on the outside 2 lights for night and 3000K on the middle light on separate switch for the dusts.

 

Nice!

 

How big is that one???

 

woot right back at ya!





hey thats me!

 

I'd recognize dat ass anywhere

 

Those hilifts are sketchy as fuck. Floor jacks with a skid plate ftw. I'll use the hilift as a support with the floor jack but never alone.

 

daamn! that actually happened to me too but on my tail gate while I was jacking my rear up from the hitch. Huge facepalm moment

 

so...I may pick up a set of Fox triples for the front for $900...they are 12" tho so i may be getting an engine cage soon too haha....

 

That's going to bad ass can't wait to see it.

 

12's are going to be pretty f-ing big in there...

i know 8's are impossible to find... i'd try to find some 10's, those would be easier to make work

 

10" bypasses

Yea...I'd definitely need cage work to run those 12s and i'd need 12" coilovers. You're saying I wouldnt necessarily need an engine cage to run 10s?

 

no, you would need a cage for the 10's

i was saying to fit 12's in the front would prob be alot of work. although i'm not sure how much room the 2nd gens have... i'm going off knowing there isnt a ton of room on my truck

10's should fit relativly easy with a taller shock hoop than what you would use for an 8" shock

 

well which is it?! lol

 

lol... my bad, i suck.

you would need some sort of custom type shock hoop to run a 10" shock... if you ran the secondary shock hoop that engage has avail for the 8" shocks you could end up with the shock fully collapsed before you hit full bump because of the larger shock body of the 10" compared to the 8"

i simple cross brace (engine cage) would prob be benificial because the hoops are going to sit pretty high up in the wheel well

but i'm not even 100% this set up would "work"... you should ask some homiez on DR or TTORA

 

you said it with alot fewer words than i did...lol

tall shock hoop.

 

yea thats what I was think but even if I could make it fit, i'd only be using 8" of the 10" of travel available, unless I have it crazy angled. nonetheless, 10" are way easier to find used that 8" bypasses, i may just do that.
