Idaho BS thread in the PNW

haha, a jobby job.... I NEED to find another job soon, only cuz i need LT! lulz

I've got feelers out though seriously about making the TC +2 kit and pelfreys rear relocate happen Still dreams tho, but they feel almost real!! haha. Anybody sees a deal get at me!

 

Dumbass dbl post got me...

 

I know a guy is selling a full TC LT kit haha.

What's the relocation rear do? Shackle flip?

 

No shackle flip. See here > http://www.pelfreybilt.com/#!shock-relocation-kit/c16eq

He's running expo leafs like I am too so it will be the same numbers.

 

Looks close to the same travel you have?? Or does he have 33s?

Future mod day right there haha

 

yea he's on 33's. Uses a 12" stroke shock.

 

Rear shock relocation kit mount basically.


Got distracted and was way late on that. haha

 

See...I don't get it..if you just do a shackle flip..get probably the same travel numbers..I mean I drop a 33" lower then that now with 10" shocks

 

Brady, you still figuring out yer rear sitch?

 

When I chatted with CBI about it they said something about the 2nd gen geometry and the leafs made to fit that geometry have a tough time working out with the flips. Idk, i know there are guys doing it like psutaco but i'm not sure I want to dive into that...

 

I was trying to figure out what the hell a rear stitch was for about 5 seconds. haha


I am going to try to swing something for Christmas maybe since I don't have the time to work on it with school.

 

The problem with the shackle flip is none of the 2nd gen leaf packs are designed to work with that geometry and you lose lots of weight capacity. Look at Joe's problem last year. His brand new leaf pack was flattened after being on the truck for less than 2 weeks... He went to the Iron Mans after that and I don't think they faired any better. Expos might fair best but it still does a number on them.

 

Well I know the reverse shackles provid better weight capacity. Why they use it.

But whatever haha Marc..buy..and bring to Christmas mod day/weekend/week thing haha

 

yeah. That's why I haven't done the shackle flip. My leaf sag enough as it is. I don't need to make it worse...

 

Yea I have seen Craig's. his worked awesome. Still does I believe.

 

HA, one of those words. Well it's not really a word I guess. You were talking about fitting 16"s or 18"s SUA right, with some sort of lo pro bedcage? IDK how SUA would work in the real world on rocky stuff... Also SUA with weight?

And craig=homer right? Yea Monte, we'll see what happens. I definitely am not going to let any local ppl here tack that kit on (if I go that route) unless they know what they're doing since it's a bit position sensitive.

 

I'm going SUA with 16s next. It works fine in the rocks. Just get ubolt skids.

Yea Craig is homer taco. Saw him last year in mt. Was just on a AAL and stock leafs and flip kit. Worked awesome.

 

How you mounting your shocks?

 

Bed cage. Shocks will go outside of the frame and tilted forward. Won't take up hardly any room

 

gotcha
