Jacksonville, FL Area Scheduled Meets-Ongoing

I agree. I wanted to meet with y'all at the last one a couple weekends ago but had stuff planned with the wife.

 

Welcome aboard

 

First one that came up on my search but there are literally hundreds of these stories related to diff drop installs.
Not even worth it.
I have not put one on and no problems

How many miles have you ran with no diff drop? Im looking to get a lift and just figured it was a good Idea so I had planned on picking one up as well.

Now I just don't know.

 

Good afternoon hmasonb34. I saw this and wanted to clarify that if you are referring to Headstrong Off-road we do not have any one name Anthony working for us. But if you have any questions let me know, I am Marie.

 

Sorry He works at lowrangeoffroad.com but I havent herd back from him so if your interested in helping id love to buy a lift for my truck.

 

I am always interested. PM me what you are looking at and we can go from there!

 

What qualifies as being "mid travel" @HeadStrong Off-Road

 

Not sure of how many miles but I have a 2012 and it is 2016 so about 4.5 years. Some of the stuff I have crawled/slide over I would have hated my diff sitting 1 in lower and taking all the force.

 

Pretty much anything with more travel than stock. Usually about 1.5-2" more than the stock travel.
Longer struts/shocks giving more travel.
"Extended travel"
The OME/bilstein kit would be regular travel with the same specs as stock.
Something like extended travel foxes, icons, camburg would be your mid travel kits.

 

I will say this:
If you are planning on mid travel and end up going with Icon. Andy @ Gotexhaust.com (another vender on here) gave me the BEST pricing I could get on extended travel custom length icon coilovers and UCAs by far. I got quotes from 5 or so other venders and even Icon directly many were doing the black friday group buys at the time (most were 20% off) and still didn't come close to what his first original quote was for.

 

Email sent Marie, Please let me know if you need any other info and hope to hear from you soon.

Im thinking about running these:
33x13.50R17LT, IROK Radial
does anyone have any input on these.

 

Kinda wide, might need to do some trimming. And wider rims to accomadate it. And correct backspacing to avoid the 13.5 inch wide tire from continuously rubbing the uca.

 

Well Ive got 17x9 with a 4.25 back space and -6 offset and im looking at getting a lift from Marie @ headstrong I sent her a email and waiting to hear back hopefully with a little help i can get upper control arms as well to help with clearance issues.

 

Get under your truck and look at those rims if they are the mounted rims. And measure 2.25 inches. If the uca is closer than 2.25 id wager itll rub

 

If they rub then a spacer would fix that right? Nothing massive just enough to clear these monsters, LOL.

But in the morning ill get up and check my clearance off my uca. for that 2.25 thanks bro.

 

Depending on offset and back spacing a spacer just might cause other problems like making them rub when you turn the wheels.
But I haven't looked into the calcs in forever so I don't even remember.

 

That would suck. well im searching for threads of anyone running that tire and im not seeing it so maybe there is a reason.

 

My 32x11 (265 75 16) rubbed on stock height with 1.25 spacers.

 

Pretty sure you need 4.5 or less backspacing to clear a 12.5 tire so you'd be close. Spacers would get you off the uca but put your tire closer the the frame and firewall when turning/flexing
