Idaho BS thread in the PNW

no i know thats how it works. But billies at 2.5'' doesn't make the strut take the weight not even slightly..

 

it just preloads the shit out of the coils and will make the whole set up ride like crap. look around lots of guys complain about billys set at 2.5 and drop back down.
Ben do what you want it's your truck and your money spend it how you see fit.
people give me a hard time about not getting dakars but they don't have to pay for or live with the decisions i make.

 

That may be true a bit. But you'd still be getting a better ride with the bumper none the less due to a better shock. It would put you at around 2'' of lift depending on the weight of the bumper and still ride pretty well.

and as i just showed you..the price difference is hardly there. In fact i didn't take into account you'd sell them so really its cheap..and better. Why would you not do that??

No i have seen several ppl with them at 2.5 and be completely happy with it. Space is no different. But at least he would be getting a new shock which would help. With the spacer tho it'll be bouncy like crazy due to the old tired shocks.

 

it's just a bandaid till he get SAWs no harm there. if my fronts would fit his truck he could have the ones i just took off for a temporary fix too.

 

lol they could...with some...modification...hahaha

and yea it is...but id rather have the newer shock cause..what if he can't get the SAWs next year? Who knows what will happen by then and how he will be finically..

 

yea ya do lol

and whatever man. You do what you want..just hope you don't present the opportunity for me to say..I told ya so haha

 

haha i think ill have one by then actually...so no you won't

 

Already ordered sliders so yea.

and have my rear bumper on order...


oh..and ill probably have a bed rack..

and roof rack..haha

 

you only get 190 miles out of a tank of gas?

 

well...i work..REALLY hard..All the time..haha

and sell shit i don't need. Like my 4x4 1/10 scale EMAXX RC monster truck that goes like 30mph..don't need it anymore.

and sliders were 360 bucks shipped..BAMF made.

bumper is gonna hurt tho..was about 800 bucks with the options i wanted PLUS i asked Tim to add a tire gate too it so thats gonna be freakin ridiculous to pay for and ship...

bed rack is basically free(ish) just material costs..im gonna make it..

and i think i found an E locker axle i can buy for pretty cheap to swap it at a local junk yard. so yea. Ill just get that for now then i can put an ARB in the 8.4 axle ill have left over and never have to totally give up my truck for more then a day. And i can regear then too.

 

yea..got like 10 mpg last tank ...yay 33s! and my lead foot...

im a keeping it under 2k this tank to see how much it helps.


got 9.7 once with my 31s lol

think i need a new fuel filter..

 

I wish i could have a freaking job but i get paid more to go to school than i would working plus if i work i lose my grants because some of them are income based

 

and god damn it guys...i keep trying to go to bed and then one of you bastards reply and i HAVE to respond...was gonna get up early in the morning too...gonna be hard now lol


Thanks for that bros!

 

My exhaust and deck plate mod as well as cleaning the MAF helped at ton in the summer. Was getting great mpg compared to before those mods. was at like 13/17 then after was at 17/21


idk what the 33s will do that...nothing nice especially with the armor..

 

no kidding try sea foam too. what gears do you have in there now?

I get about 320-350 out of a tank and I never go below a quarter tank
I'm on 265/70-16s though but that's going to change in a week or so

 

lol yea i remember that haha that woulda been impressive. Jon did that. He sold like everything practically for his truck haha


and really? I like a lot of his stuff. Beef as hell!

and i really wanted Tims sliders so i could say i had all Elite stuff...but i accidentally started a BAMF slider GB...the 24 hour one..hahaha...sooooo yea. Im getting BAMF sliders now..haha i don't LOVE the way the look either. But i still think they will be sweet.

 

I'm going with 285/75-16 and possibly some new wheels if it's in the budget. total installed is like 1500
