Damn is that what a locked rear end does on the street? Or it might be a spool..?

 

negitive. i have never heard a squeek out of mine in over 2 years and not one customer that has complained.

 

Cool Video about Local Motors. I planned a meet there earlier this month and had 34+ tacos there

matt must have got some derpy ones. nice going MATT!!

 

Thanks guys. Can't fawking WAIT to get it on along with these

 

Well your ext travel shackles are the next item on the to do list!

 

the delrin bushings i use have a spiral groove cut on the center bushing surface to reduce friction and allow the full bearing surface to get adequate grease . i have not seen another company thats supplies bushings like this and i feel that the groove coupled with the grease fitting make for the quit operation.
using the proper grease helps too , i only recommend superlube for delrin and urethane bushings

 

Can you run an air bump or LR jounces off those lowers?

Curious how those rear shocks will do? I need a 2.5" back there!

 

From my understanding yes mike. It has a re-enforced strike pad.

 

I wouldn't If you plan on actually driving the truck off road
I've seen arms way stronger then that bend from bumps on the lower

 

IMO air bumps put less stress on a lower than a rubber bump does.

 

You mean like this:

 

That's what I'm talking about! Think ill just save for a 2" over set up since I want to stay on the smaller side and I really like that AP kit! Wonder if id be happy with an air bump over a secondary shock I could run if I went with TC 2" over?

 

Shortened the 4" stroke down to about 1.5" so it wasnt in play constantly on the LCA, overall I am happy with them.

 

Bad ass man! Hope your install goes well!

What size tires did you go with?

 

Nice, running the same setup & tires

 

No more rubbing!

 

i could probably pull the measurements off the ones i did for mine and see if i can make a few more. with mine they were turned out of a solid bar of chromoly so they take a while and they arnt exactly cheap. as for the uniball cup conversion on the lowers, i should have my jig still sitting around somewhere that centers the arm under the saw that notches out the proper size and angle in the arm... ill look around a bit and let yall know.

please please please send me a PM to remind me. im moving into my house and shop over the next few weeks so im going to be focused on anything but these promises for parts hahaha.
