    Going with Jerry's rear setup?

    Mine is great so far, but 5'' might be to much..

    Jerry has his relocated like /\ so the don't travel as far as ours do in stock locations, so like for every inch of travel the shock moves...its like 2 for the axle, or something like that..

    Piroskier also has the 10.5s with just the expos and seems to be doing well. Id give DSM a call just to make sure tho!

    They should work tho id think..but could be a limiting factor to your droop.

    also you ready for a stiff ride? They are pretty damn rough riding packs unless you have some weight back there.

    Yeah, Ive talked to slod about some of it too... Don't really mind the ride, it's always been kind of rough. And if it's not on a smooth road I wont be going fast enough to get jarred around too much anyways :D

    I have a guy that'd be willing to help me triangulate with a ubolt flip kit, but Im not really there yet... So im sticking with a setup similar to jerry's but not triangulated

    AP has a kit with shocks/expos/lines/bushings for 500 that I've been eyeing out for awhile, probably gonna throw a shackle set with that too.

    just twiddling my thumbs until spring break :spy:

    thanks for the input :thumbsup:

    Yea ill be doing the Ubolt flip, and relocating my hangers for expo packs and jimmy joints, as well as relocating the shocks i hope at some point. As well a LT up front.

    And that is a good deal for sure! Can't go wrong with it. Im sure you will like it!

    pretty much. There's some niceeee places but you have to be super careful without armor.

    shocks+leaf packs= $340 shipping.
    if that were a 120+lb plate bumper.......
    or skids....
    or sliders....

    and nobody sells them locally :mad:




    Maybe one day I'll fly up to one of these MOAB meets. if not this year, maybe next :spy:

    :smack: Shattttup! :D hahaha

    my dad just left for work. So the next two weeks are dedicated on selling more car parts and making more money.

    Buy the CVT tent, and steel for the bed/roof rack.

    Practice welding while the pops is gone, then, when he comes one..in 2 weeks :0...ill get the sliders on, and start the bed rack.
