New England B.S. Thread

Same for me. I want to do things but as my DD I don't want to mess with it a lot.

 

I'd help too if I wasn't away this weekend and tied up next. It's really easy though, you could rent all thetools from autozone and get it done in half a day.

 

$1200 is just stupid. Front shouldn't take take more than 2 hours, with air tools it should be easy and quick. The aal shouldn't be more than a few hours max either. It's about as easy as you can get modding a truck.

 

Yeah, it's just too much. I was expecting about half of that cost maybe even less. They did a good job with my Eibach coils (which only took two hours), so I figured I'd give them a chance.

 

I'd offer to do it but I'm in NY

 

You can crash on my couch if you want. Shit, if I got you a hotel AND paid for your gas, it still wouldn't cost me $1200.....

 

You'll be higher in the rear. Finally got to my computer and searched my posts.

Before:
Front Left - 20" hub to fender
Front Right - ~20" hub to fender
Rear Left - 21.5" hub to fender
Rear Right - ~ 21.5" hub to fender

After:
Front Left - 22" hub to fender
Front Right - 22.5" hub to fender
Rear Left - ~24.5" hub to fender
Rear Right - ~25" hub to fender.

That was an Icon AAL with TSB rear springs without the overload spring. You have an OR so I'm assuming you have the 2+1. If that's the case, you should be okay with the overload in place.

 

Hey mike how's it going? Thanks again for the bumper it's Lookin good. I actually have a sport, with the factory 4 pack.

 

No worries.

Just look at my numbers then...you will have more height in the rear than those numbers if you keep the overload since you don't have any rear weight in the bed. Yes, the ARB dropped me down a bit in the front, but you might still end up with a rake depending on what happens.

Updated with piktors.


That's on a downhill slope.



With the cap for some added weight. Sadly, this is the only photo I have of it with the cap on, surprisingly.

 

I'm ok with having a small amount of rake, 1/2-3/4 of an inch is ok with me. I'm hoping if I keep the overload in and put in the 3/8 spacers up front (for approximately .5 of lift) with the eibachs at .85, I should have a pretty good stance. Thanks for the numbers. I had no idea what the stock height was until now

 

My front numbers are low since that's with the ARB.

I gained almost 3-3.5" of lift without the overload. The overload is probably 1/4" thick. Assuming you get the full 2.45" and added the 3/8 spacer, you're at what, 2.825"...the 3/4" is probably going to be right where you will be.

 

Sounds good to me, hopefully it all works out. Also, sick looking truck. If I didn't use my truck bed to haul things from time to time, I would leave out the overload. The way your truck sat with the cap is my ideal look.

 

Morning, faces. How're we doing today?

 

Happier than a pig in shit. If I was any happier, I'd have to sit on my hands to keep 'em from clapping.

 

Why, did you get another light bar for the F150?

 

Not bad - Almost killed a kid this morning running out into the street to catch a Pokemon I assume.

Going to attempt this CB install tonight, still no antenna bracket yet but the one I ordered is only a temporary one. Still mocking up designs for a quick-release system.

 

Not recently, but I did buy another pair of Dually D2 hyperspots a couple weeks ago that are waiting to be installed.

 

Those Rigid lights are so nice.. but so dang expensive - even at cost.

 

I think I paid $265 for the first pair new and I got the second pair for $150. Guy took them off his truck and they look near brand new but I haven't fired them up yet.

 

Morning peeps. Happy Friday eve!

Picked up an UltraGauge Blue from a GB that's going on right now, and getting it tomorrow. A little bummed that I won't be around to play with it. Driving up to Syracuse tomorrow morning, for the weekend, to go visit my sister and the kiddos.
