Lifted 1st gens let's see em

There's nothing wrong with removing it on stock coils. There are plenty of people who run stock coils and no sway bar....I personally run stock coils, 35's, bumper, winch....the works. No issue at all. Drives awesome on the road and even better on the trail. Drive sensibly and everything will be fine.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well my coils must have been really sacked because when i made my first right turn ( at a slightly higher speed just so i could compare) Felt like i was gonna flip haha, & member RecklessTaco (matt) said it looked like a LT truck leaning in the turn, but i agree if you don't do anything stupid, should be alright

 

When you get real shocks and coils...your mind..gonna be blown. You will be kicking yourself why you wait so long.

 

Just wondering, how you getting 35's under it with stock coils ?

 

He has billies at 2.5"

 

Billies at 2.5 on stock coils is ok but I know there's a lot better out there. It's a little stiffer than I'd like but I'll go with ome or eibachs depending on what fits my truck best in a couple of months.

 

Ahh , i didn't even note the billies, just saw stock coils, & 35's & he never claimed they didn't rub so...ya know... seems like alot of weight on stock coils regardless of pre load tension ...

HEY! what u facepalmin' about ??...

 

He also tubed the fire wall as you need to for 35s

 

Bah!! I'll stick it out through the winter haha. Right now I don't have the need to go "bigger" in that sense. It's not a sports car, nor is it "scary" on the hwy. Soft and smooth

Would I like a set of kings. Fuck ya. Have I almost purchased then twice. Yes. But I can't afford it right now so close to Christmas. I'm waiting for my Christmas bonus muhahaha. That's the next thing on the list actually. And UCA's

 

Gotchya..

 

Yea get extended travel and UCAs. You'll have more travel and better ride. Might have to tub again as I'm sure you'll get more up travel then your getting now

 

Well right now, I have it perfect...at full compression I have exactly 1/4" to the lip of the fender all the way around. And that's where the bump stop hits. I want to keep it that way. Low and wide. Droop over up travel.

Now to only keep it that way once everything goes on
Tubbings a bitch. I'm not doing it again hahaha

 

Should be okay then..only one way to find out

 

Thanks! I was trying to get it as clean looking as possible. Their are minor flaws, but they can be overlooked easily.

 

Damn I remember when my truck looked like that, is this at Lawrence Welk ?? N. County

 

Sure is. I live two exits down...

 

Thanks a ton guys! You have put my mind at ease about mixing the OME's with the Billy's!

 

I hate seeing everyone getting lifts.. I can't wait to get mine and some 33's and yes.. remove my sway bar.

 

Bump..

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
