DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Truck's driving great, even with the epic bro lean - @Geremy, I expect to see those shots up soon you took - now the question is, should I wait to level out the back before the alignment?

And it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyways, huge thanks to all who assisted!

 

The bro is strong with this one.

 

UCAs went on quick. I'll get shots with the new tires tomorrow.

 

I think it has come down a tad on the drive home as expected. UCA's only have a slight downward angle to them at this point. I'll get a shot tomorrow after my wife goes to work and I can shoot it on level ground.

 

Can't wait to see the 285's

 

Been fighting an upper respiratory infection. And the truck is back at the dealer. The wheels are fucked up once again. Never ending story. I'll give them a call soon

 

I would

 

What happened to the wheels?

 

No biggie. Get better man

 

A few quick pics I got after getting home from the mod day today. Love the look of the SSO bumper, it only hurt a little when I started cutting up my 8 mo old truck.


Thanks for having everyone over @Geremy and everyone for the help getting it mounted. It would have sucked doing it solo.

 

The finish is coming off from when pat Lobb repaired them after scratching them up

 

Wow, you're still dealing with issues from that dealer?!

 

Going to need some bigger tires on there

 

Eventually I'll move up to a 285 but that's not going to happen for a while. There are some other priorities like skids that need to be purchased first.

 

Yea. I finally made a comment on fb and it got their attention.

 

Truck looks really good!

 

For what it's worth on second gens I think you want at least 3 degrees of front caster to push the wheel forward away from the cab mount. Here's what Tandem did to mine to help me clear the 285's. Still did cab mount chop and some plastic trimming. Major rubbing only off-road.

 

Looks bad-ass. Planning to run with shackles or without?

 

@Geremy, forgot to show off that shot of my Kirk, it's got different bars on it now, but otherwise unchanged. Hand built steel frame using a custom mix of tubing, not the 'Terra-plane' rear seat stays. They're a functional rear suspension.
