What are you SUA guys who crawl doing for spring plates. The BR ones look pretty solid

 

Ask mike.

 

what was the out come on your rear axle RJ ??

 

Blew the ring and pinion

 

Well, that mother hucker !!

 

05 4.0 double cab with 35's. What gears would bring it back to stock freeway rpms?

 

Dmz has a set of leaf plates that he calls mr beefy that would work well too. I'll get a picture of them when mine come in.

 

Thanks Brad I'd like to see them

 

4:10 but you'd have to get used one from 4cyl as there's no aftermarket suppliers.

4:56 or 4:88 is typically the normal. If your a manual I'd go 4:56.

That's what I'm running, about 2300 on the highway.

 

Those are beefy thats what im talking about!

 

Gotta also think about ground clearance too tho.

 

So what brand gears are people running in the 05+ trucks. What is it costing roughly to get it geared front and rear? Thinking roughly 1,000-1,500 for a 4x4?

 

Yeah I saw that on TV. It was sad watching these rich guys not knowing what the Fu*k they were doing...lol...
They spent 3 years on the "build" and it didnt even have a spare tire on the truck. Then they Ripped all the mounts on the Stock control arms. If they would have just spent $$ on a bolt-on 4X4 Total Chaos kit they would have finished the first time.

**If some rich corporate sponsors want to give a desert racer like me the opportunity, I would shatter those guys "record"

 

I know Nitros are popular, and have always heard sierra expeditions is good for doing gears, so is Absolute Offroad in Phoenix

 

Vi's truck getting linked?

Most likely, since Kcbmx bought his Old Giant kit, so I don't see there being an advantage just switching leaf kits,

 

Picked up spring perches from SDHQ, Thanks Guys!

 

I now have bushings in stock for 2" .250 wall DOM with a 1" through bore if anyone is looking for replacement bushings. I had them made by energy suspension and it is made from their strongest polyurethane.

 

that girl.... yes please...
