+SconnieHailer's Build & BS+

haha! Yea it didnt start to rust till I got back to WI and then bam just covered in rust... WY isn't bad but im sure its even better where you're at.

I'll have to take a picture of the arch at full bump and see if you guys think it'll kill the springs early... maybe i'll just leave it as is.

 

Oh ya, heading to WI will rust stuff up quick. Hope you enjoyed enuf cheese curds and blue ribbon to justify all the wire wheel work.

 

haha that I did. Glad it didn't take much effort with the wire wheel, came off real quick.

 

Did you happen to make it into Milwaukee? Stop by Boomers? Thats a good burger joint with good curds and tall cans at the right price. Weightress's (not a typo) were not so great but are freindly.

 

nope didn't make it there but I do have family near there! I'll check it out next time I get there haha. I'm from more west central WI, Eau Claire.

 

Trucks looking good!

 

Finally got the truck back to winter mode today. Truck feels quick without that weight back there!

Lookin good!

 

looks good amigo

 

thanks duders

 

Do I see you added some frame reinforcement in the rear???

 

That's his Pelfreybilt shock relocation kit.

 

^this. and also there is a bamf diff skid that's sort of new too.

 

Ohhh right didn't think of that..

That's a badass setup

 

yea, it's been great so far! The extra droop is great and hydro bumps make a big difference compared to the "whaBAM" bump out I had before when I was pushing it too far... With the tent and rack + gear out of the bed it really runs well. I need to re-valve for the geared up weight before summer hits and it all goes back on after feeling it with not much weight. Need more comp for sure, and maybe a hair more rebound. I've gotta get out the tag and revisit what they are currently valved at and I'll share what I end up with here when I dial it in.

 

Ordered new shim stacks today for the rear shocks.

After talking with DSM and jeberry (thanks for the help Jason ) i'm going to run a normal .008 stack for rebound, and a .012 stack with a .008 flutter shim between shim one and two of the .012 stack. The reason I thought my valving was farther off than it should be was because I was running too much pressure in my bumps... Going down to~75psi in the bumps helped a lot and the shocks already feel like a better fit but i'm still going to revalve because I think the new setup will work better, especially since my truck see's alot of street.

 

Thats what i'm running in the rear except a 10 on rebound, truck looks awesome in summer mode!

 

I'm thinking of doing this same valving. 12F/8. Right now I have 10F/10 but I haven't got to play with it enough to see how it feels.

 

^nice!

Thanks it does way better in winter mode (tent and rack off) going fast in the rough stuff that's for sure. gets better go-juice mileage too

and yea Brady since I dont have a ton of uptravel it's better my rear to drop out faster so I can use all my up I have when goin fast.
