Project Scooter Build *Old*

Is it necessary or is it just so the truck doesn't squat? Cause I don't mind the squat, I like it a little bit.

 

I just installed billies at 2.5 LR UCAs with 2inch AAL. (Tsb leaf pack) it is currently one inch higher in the back so your looking at about 1.5 inch lower with stocks. Oh and hi.

 

Sup dude. Thanks for the input. Also nice looking truck man

 

Stock rake is 1.5" to 1.75", setting the fronts at 2.5 will have the front be higher than the rear by about an inch, also known as "cali lean". It will look like it is sagging without anything in the bed, then what ever you put back there will make it worse. I advise either the Icon 3 leaf AAL or the wheelers 3 leaf, don't get a single leaf one they ride like crap. So yes it kinda is necessary unless you like that look.

 

Yeah. I don't haul stuff around in my bed besides my surfboards and if I'm hauling anything, it's not in my truck. And yeah. I do like that look haha

 

I guess you could get it later but it will be to much

 

Yeah I'll eventually get them but I want my truck to lean a little bit for a while haha

 

Thanks dude. Good luck can't wait to see it!

 

Okay I'm at a cross roads here...
265/70r20 and not worry about rubbing
285/70r20 and worry about rubbing (look more normal with 20's)

 

Wait why are you going with a 34 or 35 inch tire? You'll rub like hell with both those sizes.

What size wheel are you going with? 20?

 

Never mind haha. I wasnt thinking straight. I'm going to go with 275/55r20 Duratracs cause I'm gonna get different wheels.

 

Don't plan on airing them down at all then off road, you'll blow a bead with anything under 20psi if not higher.

 

What do you mean?

 

Those sidewalls will be so small, the less sidewall you have on a tire the higher you need to keep the pressure. Thats why you see big off road trucks with tiny 15 inch wheels and massive sidewalls, so they can air the tires down a lot. With 20 inch wheels, you hit one rock wrong and your tire will be off your wheel.

Look at this diagram

I don't do enough off-roading to have to worry about taking air out of my tires

 

Then I would advise not getting the 2.5" fox and rather get the 2.0", saves you a lot of money. I mean do what you want, but I would advise against the 2.5"s for you, its overkill. I know a guy that wheels his truck hard with the fox 2.0's and is just fine.

 

Good call. You still sure that 32's will fit with the 2" coil overs?

 

Its only .3 inches larger in diameter, you can probably run it on stock suspension with minor trimming. To level out your truck you only need 1.5", the 2.0"s can be cranked up to 2 inches plus some (they advertise 2 inches but you can get 3). The size of the coil over doesn't relate to tire size at all, you can run a 2.0" CO with 37 inch tires if you wanted. 2.0 versus 2.5 is just the shock body diameter.

 

Okay good to know

 

Yeah I understand. I was just wondering if the 2" would still be enough to fit 32"s and it will so my question is answered.
