2nd Gen 4x4 35s 3" Lift w/o BODY LIFT

So your telling me to sell my BAMF CMC plates then...

Any pictures of your cuts?/?

 

No not at all! Use the plates but you will need to cut it back much further than that set of pictures shows. Thats all. I am gonna use the plates I got from Pelfrey Bilt.

 

Whose going to do the welding? Did you use a Sawz-all or Grinder or Plasma cutter? You have anything in your Build thread with the current 'cutback'

Found out on X-Mas there is a close friend of the family that is a Welder. Been doing it for over 40years. Downside, is he is a man stuck in his ways. Does not want to teach anyone the trade or do anyone any favors. No price breaks or anything. Says it is a reflection of his work and refuses to sell himself short.

 

Easiest way to do it is cut off everything past the bodymount. You can still use the cmc plates just need to bend it 90° after the body mount and weld it in.

 

I'm boxing it in on Sunday....

 

Well, damn, you just cut the whole thing OFF! Tool used for the removal of it?

I have the Fitment tool already.

 

^^^you cut the shit out of your body mount!! I cut more off then Skygear but not to that extent. Running 4.3bs and no rub on cab mount or UCA. Slight rub on frame at full lock

 

4 1/2 angle grinder...a couple of cutting disks and a grinding disc. Easy day.

 

It's because I was running way too little BS...ohh well. She should be nice and boxed up Sunday.

 

NO NO NOoo, thats not me. I havent cut anything. More I saved the post as a reference. No stress though.

Thanks loco. I'll cut that this week. I have 15 cutoff disks and a couple grinding. All for the prep of the mighty 35"s!

 

Cut as much as needed and as little as possible...

 

Issue is no 35"s right now. Maybe I should wait. .

 

Single jack.

 

Lost me..

 

It's a one pound sledge

 

Ah. Never heard that term in reference to tools. Only "SMOKES"

 

315's and some morning fun at alviso

 

Hey guys I just thought I would bring something up. I was talking to a friend. The one I bought my 35s from and that is weight.

My 285s on my TRD Wheels weighed in at about 80lbs each.

My Six Shooters and 315s weigh in at about 82lbs each.

EDIT:
I think the Weight plays a big factor in wear, breakage, and MPGs.

 

No shit

 

Haha! Okay yeah I know that is common sense. The reason I bring it up is I don't think people pay as much attention to that as they should when they are picking wheels and tires for our trucks. I think weight should really be high on the list of criterion they look for.


I don't think people realize the differences it can make. All wheel and all tires are not the same.

When I said ware I meant on the suspension and drivetrain components.

Since this seems to be the best place for people to learn about 35s I think that is important to bring up.

Haha! See my above point as to why I brought it up.
