SoCalRoadie's LT Build

wow!

 

now that is a real bedcage! Hopefully Sick Nick reinforeced mine enough so it will actually withstand abuse. Cant believe I was wheeling on a ticking time bomb as evidenced by your mishap!

 

Subbed. Love that bed cage

 

you gotta see it in person...its incredible

 

Damn that looks mean

 

Looks awesome man

 

Sooooo want.... I love the clip

 

great build man, gave me some ideas on what to do with my cross brace and an engine cage. i though i might have to scrap mine when i cage

 

I'm more than likely scrapping the brace since it's going to cost just as much if not more to keep it. But hopefully that's a while to go.

 

Some new updates:

Put some new custom Deavers on. With my 13" shackles its a little high.






I've got a light project that is making headway. Just need to find a better enclosure:



It's time to step up my shock game:



And I put some poly bushings in my rear shocks (top cap only) Best. Decision. Ever.



I also swapped out my 13" shackles for 12". It took a lot of the harshness out of the rear and dropped it an inch or so.

I'm going to hit dirt soon to break in the springs and see where it settles.

 

Why the change in shackle length? Just for ride height?

 

It changes the ride height slightly but it takes some of the pre-load out of the springs. This equates to slightly lower and softer springs. Overall a much better ride. I was very surprised at the change it made.

 

did the bypasses make a big diff with the engage kit? do you have bumps?

 

Huge. Whole new truck.

Yes. 2x2 Pro Comps in front and 2.5x4 kings in rear.

 

Made a headliner this weekend.

 

Can you take a few pics of how you did your rear mudflaps?

 

siiiick build. Good job on your headliner, subbed.

edit: where'd you get the poly bushings for the top of your kings?

They sound great but I had to go back to unis. They couldn't handle all the energy of going fast in the dirt.
