SurfInferno's Build

yeah, but the biggest problem was trying to get the bump to fit with the bypass and the tire, it was just too cramped.

 

yeah same thing happened with me, hence why we have bumps inside the frame

any sketches of the bedcage or keeping it a surprise?

 

i honestly havnt even thought about it yet haha, I was so caught up to getting to that point I dint actually plan it, so i guess it will be a surprise. Its going to be pretty simple though.

 

hahahha. well shit man, youre making great progress. Keep it up.

 

thanks man haha, superstition is going to be pretty rad. Im just hoping my truck isn't to stink bugged. Im guessing the rear will be a few inches higher than the front.

 

i wish i was going to superstition. what leafs did you go with again? f67s right?

 

Dang! Why arnt you going? Yeah f67, I probably should have gone with 55s

 

Just curious but aren't 5 lugs SUA from factory? So do you just add longer shackles and new hangers to be "Long travel"?

 

i got some plans up my sleeve but those 67s might be fine. i thought i was going to be ass high but im not. keep in mind youre an AC not a single cab. itll probably be fine.

 

Haha thinking about the front now? Your front end is higher than mine I think though. Ill find out tomorrow when I put the pack together.

 

I had to add a new plate under the pirch to fit the springs, then yeah new shackels and hangers.

 

forgot to take pictures, but bump cans are done, shackle hangers are done, bump pads are done, tomorrow the holes are going to be cut and cage is starting

 

Cage is getting close!!

 

90% done!

almost full droop, goes about 2 more inches after this

 

Man..the work on the rear LT is spectacular..

I'm going to be doing my rear LT starting on friday..

Can you take some more pics of the front spring hangers? And also..how far forward did you more the rear hanger?

Thanks in advance.

 

What did you end up cycling?

 

Thanks man! From eye to eye, front hanger to rear it has to be 52.5in i used the stock front hanger, when i get my glass i am going to weld them on to strengthen them.

I havnt measured it completely yet, kinda just been relaxing the past few days.
here it is at almost full droop. shocks fully extended are at 14in, full bump they have a 1/2in gap

 

took measurements today. Full droop is 18-18.5in. Shocks are at 14.5in fully extended. Need to buy straps and bedsides and rear is about done.

 

got any driveline issues or no? mine drooped out so much it pushed the driveline into the tranny but i just ended up strapping it before that and calling it good.

 

We checked that out and measured it, and it didn't look like it did. I will check again but I'm hoping its all good. What is yours strapped at?
