Vegas BS Thread!

Good lookin out - I think I'll pass on these. Thx Andrew

 

Complete waste of money.

 

I know people back in my riceburner days that have bought these and saw no improvement what-so-ever. I can see maybe getting the hp advertised if you also include a CAI, bigger throttle body, and intake manifold. If you don't want to do that then I would save my money for something else.

 

No problem, have fun in DV man! I'm jelly...

 

No need for diff drop. Thought I would pass along info.

 

Ok thanks man

 

Yeah, I guess I'll pass haha thanks for the insight guys.

 

I've been looking at the same kit. I already have the 5100's in the front that I did when I bought the truck to level it out, but still on stock springs. I might be doing everything but buying the pieces separate since I already have front pair of 5100's. Looking at OME 885's for the front, Light Racing UCA's, 1/4" top spacer for driver side, and for the rear a 2.5" AAL kit with 5100's.

 

Yeah man, don't do it. Pointless. If we were carburated it might make a difference, but not on fuel injected engines.

 

Had a lil mini mod night at my place with Chris and we mounted the newly powdercoated BAMF Raptor letters to the Satoshi!

 

5100's are great until you realize you want to go faster and faster. I bottom out in the front all the time with my 5100's and factory springs. But I've been out enough to realize I want / need long travel. But that's just me. Otherwise they are great for moderate wheeling. Coilovers are definitely better than adjustable struts. But it all depends on what you want to do. If you want to occasionally cruise down some trails then 5100's and springs will do fine. If you want to go harder then do coilovers. If you want to be crazy with it go with long travel. That's me... but money is the greatest factor..

 

Now those red light housings look out of place.

 

Yeah that's one of the next mods. I'm looking for a good deal on a 20" LED bar and I'm just gonna mod the bumper a bit.

 

I'm mainly doing it for looks. I just like the truck riding higher. I don't offroad that much and really only use 4WD up in the snow or when I go camping. Don't need mid or long travel.

 

That looks sweet man!

 

At this point of your build, you shouldn't need UCA's. When you go coilovers thats when you need them.
Donnod has been running 5100's & 885 w/o UCA for a long time now w/no issues.

 

So I would need UCAs if I wanted to get icon coilovers?

 

Thanks Walker!

 

Need and recommendations... You don't need anything. If you want a good alignment and more travel, get UCAs. If just looking for a smooth ride, get shocks/coil overs and keep stock UCAs.

 

ok thanks for clearing that up derek
