Any Forseen/Unforseen Concerns?

Good afternoon!

After thorough discussion with Mary at Headstrong and some input from TW members, for my needs/uses and bang for buck, I will be ordering Bilstein 5100 kit soon with 888 coils/ Light Racing UCA and HD Dakar leaf pack from Headstrong. I just ordered 4+1 16 inch SR8 wheels (I wanted 17s, but 16s were available, the "more tire" look grew on me, and there is an abundance of better priced 16 inch tires to choose from). Plan on getting 285/75/16 Wildpeaks or ?

1) Will there be any fitment issues? Or will I be good to go?

2) Also- I tried to search, but I couldn't find exact details if a full size spare in this setup will fit in the spare cradle?

I still have 52 days in Iraq, so I should have boxes of parts waiting for me =). I will take thorough before and after measurements when the time comes.

Recommendations? Comments?

 

1. With a proper alignment that set up will be good.
2. You can fit a 285 underneath, may need to cut exhaust due to heat near tire. May also need to bang or move the old tire holders around to fit.

 

Thanks for the input, good to know. I was not wanting to deal with any extra headaches of having to chop stuff and order spacers etc. Just want to install >Align and Drive. I will have to wait and see whether I want to mount the spare underneath or just keep the rim in the box for back up purposes.

 

Just might as well do ECGS bushing installed while you're at it. You'll potentially get front vibes one way or the other in the future if you don't.

 

Any link to a product? I have not considered doing that yet, if its not a science project I might knock it out while I am at it.

Thanks I'll check it out.

 

X2 on the ECGS bushing. Hit me up if you decide to do it.I can loan you the puller to save some $$.

 

Rgr -thanks on that. I am not sure if I will have the time to block out a day to do this right away, but if I do for sure I'll hit you up. It looks like something that can be done at anytime. How do you know when its needed? Are the vibrations intolerable?

 

With the 888 coils up front there’s a very high probability you will get the vibes. It’s best to just knock it out when you have the front end apart doing the A arms.
