What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Wheels and tires on

 

DUDE!!! You just brought relief. Those wheel specs are the same as mine and I'm dropping a tire size Monday. I was afraid those wouldn't fit either. Thank you! And yes the alignment got all worked out. They just had to listen to me explain how the UCA's work.

 

Does this mean someone has two passenger sides? Haha

CBI really should make this right and not just by giving you 25 bucks. Im sure you spent well over 6 bills on this. This experience makes me think they could care less about customer experience.

Good luck to you man.

 

Wow, that Super White really pops, great looking truck and great job!

 

Is that with or without a lift?

 

Cleaned my baby....made her shoes shiny, did the A/C drain fix mod and had the front bumper, head lights and color match side marker vinyl wrapped to keep people from rubbing it with their fingers....I need a place to drive!

 

Yea I spent around 900 dollars cause of shipping and a terrible powder coat job. We will see on Monday.

 

Took out my rear bumper when i went camping

 

Happy to have my truck. Going to go float down a river tomorrow. Got the 4 rafts and 70 quart cooler in the bed. Ready.

 

Sorry bout your shite experience. I did the Bil/OME/LR UCA lift from HS and I'm pretty happy. I still couldn't get 285's w/o rubbing but that's neither here nor there. It was $1192 to my doorstep. Pretty good deal. If you decide to rent a spring compressor and disassemble your old coils it'll save you $90. Huge hassle though. I'm a "time is money" kind of guy. Now, paying someone to install it can cost big ($600-$1000). Or with a little elbow grease and a helping hand (maybe a beer or two) you save that and do it yourself. It's pretty rewarding. The end result is a pretty level truck.

As far as the feel. It's firm for sure. On the highway the hum of the big tires is all that is out of place. My only complaint. It used to drive straight as F***, now it has an ever so slight drift to the right (apparently the alignment shop does it for those that fall asleep at the wheel). When I go back after everything has settled...that will be remedied for sure.

All in all, you'll hear every bit of advice from people saying don't do Bils because it's *cheap* shit and to drop a heavy dime on suspension that will probably only see the terrain it yearns for a couple times in its lifetime. I say eff that. It's your truck and a lift on a budget still ain't cheap.

You could look at the no name coilovers from Fat Bobs Garage. they look pretty sweet. Haven't heard any reviews though.

[edit] here is the link to that FB kit. No UCA's aside from that it looks sweet. http://4x4.fatbobsgarage.com/mobile...orce-suspension-package-2005-2016-p33238.aspx

 

How does the plastidip seem to be holding up so far? A little torn with what to do with my bumper. Plastidip seems like a good option because it's easy to remove if need be, but I'm not sure if that compromises durability?

 

I know, i'm kinda late to the party, but this's your peace of mine

Thanks! Those look good, they were actually the reason I was asking. I also found the SCS Ray 10s and really love those too. Good thing I can think about it while I save my money...

 

Pm'd you earlier.

 

You're welcome, just ordered everything today. As soon as the wheels get here, i'll get them installed.

 

Thanks,

The only funny thing out of my cheap lift is the 285/70/17 BFG KO2's have Zero rubbing and no trim, the kit was a 2 1/2" so I was surprised

 

Your truck is looking great Brother!

 

PM'd you!

 

Did this....

 

Put a roof rack on.
