First time I got one of these in my email. Weird.

Take off more cab mount and hammer the top of the wheel well too. Looks good.

 

I don't know about you but I have spindle gussets, coil bucket gussets and engine mount gussets going on in a few weeks. I need the peace of mind

 

3rd in my 7 year tenure here.

 

This seems to be good for now, but when I wear these tires out and upgrade to 35's I will have to do more. But I tested it in the parking lot when I left the shop at full lock in either direction I am good now. Both forward and reverse. Havent tried stuffing the tire to see if it rubs anywhere else, but I don't typically stuff the front tires too much. Mainly on jumps/big bumps.

 

You will be fine with that amount of chop

 

I'm only saying it cause if you're planning on going to 35s might as well get it all done in one shot

 

Cool. Cause I hate cutting metal like that. It's a pain having all the sparks and crap flying around and burning my arms.

 

Nah, not gonna do any of that. Don't plan on mobbing around.

 

As much as I like mobbing I'm more doing it for when you slip off that big rock and land hard and you hear your whole truck sound like it's broken.

 

Ehhh I want something to bend or break. Adding that bracing is only going to move the sacrificial part to something bigger and more expensive.

 

there is always going to be a weak point, you just have to pick what you want it to be

 

It'll just transfer it all to the frame I'm hoping and that can take some abuse

 

Exactly, rather it be a spindle than something else. Make it easy to change out.

 

My reasoning is that if I reinforce the spindle and coil bucket then the weak point becomes something that I'll never really wheel hard enough to break for example I'll never be hucking huge Sandhills or hitting a rock garden at 45+ mph. If that makes sense.

 

yeah you should never have to worry about the frame if you do normal wheeling and keep it as you DD

 

My thoughts exactly

 

i'm next

 

im a long ways from 35s lol, I need to get my new suspension setup then my rear locking diff....THEN I can THINK about 35s lol

 

this what happens when you get stuck
