Build thread. Or whatever. 2010 RC 4x4

Alright. Had this thread in the wrong place the first time. Update time. A bit over two years into the truck, 22k miles later, and it was time to start doing shit now that I think I know what I want(for now).

Finished product first.


During the first 2 years, all I added was a Tradesman utility shell from Access Mfg.



Fun stuff starts here.

- 2'' OME lift(884x coils) w/Dakar's from @HeadStrong Off-Road
- U-Bolt Flip kit w/SuperBumps from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc.
- UCA's from JBA Offroad.
All the vendors were great to work with and answered any questions I had along the way.



Installation was smooth, the UCA through-bolt put up a little struggle with the fenderwell, nothing a little encouragement from a pry bar and deadblow mallet couldn't fix.

I left the swaybar on for now, I want to wheel it a bit and let everything settle before I decide if I want to take it off.

Next was wheels and tires. I'm partial to a tall/skinny tire and have always wanted to try a 33'' on a short wheelbase like this. Ended up going with BFG Km3's in 255/85R16.
As far as rims go, I went with something a little different, Analog HD's in 16x7.5 from Fiteen52. I like the aesthetic, and it gives me the steelie look I was after, without most of the steelie weight.



Forgot to get fender measurements before/after lift & tires, but it rides well with everything. Definitely a little power loss overall, but more than driveable until I have the coin to throw some 4.88's and a rear locker in. For those curious about rubbing, the alignment tech I went to put everything at factory spec, all that rubbed when flexed at full lock is the bottom of my front fenders. This should be rectified as soon as I can get back into the alignment shop and increase caster.

Thanks for reading this far I guess?

cheers
