Pumpjack 2020 TRD Work Build

I’ll preface by saying, practicality beats looking cool. That being said, this won’t be much of a fancy build, and “build” will be used loosely.
I spend more time on rough roads than highways, and wanted something functional but not fancy.
Here’s what I’m running thus far and I’ll give my reasons why at the end.
2020 Cement TRD OR AT
Eibach Pro Lift on top perch with 1” Rear Block
ECGS Bushing
Stock Control Arms for now
265/75/16 10 Ply KO2’s (30 psi)
20% Tint all the way around
ARB Summit Bumper (waiting on brackets TBI)
OVTune enroute

To come:
Seat covers
Possible Bed Cover
More efficient tool box setup
Rear High Clearance Bumper (someday)

I had intentions of doing everything myself, but ended up letting Limitless Offroad have the work as I didn’t feel like having a headache.(Highly recommend them for anyone in coastal Texas region)
Went with 3rd perch on the Eibach with the ARB bumper going on, whoever they ordered bumper from has sent the wrong install kit twice now, hopefully will get it on this week.
I will say I don’t recommend running 3rd perch with no weight on the front, it drives a little squirrelly for sure. Bumper should settle it out perfect, until then I’m nose high and getting hi beamed by every car in the mornings.

I went with Eibach for cost, and I’ve run stock suspensions with spacer leveling kits on every vehicle I’ve ever owned with no issues half of those miles being on rough ass lease roads. Not a Baja truck, but it’s functional. It stiffened the suspension up quite a bit from stock and I love it.

ARB was a have to, my previous ranch hands have a combined 14 confirmed deer/hog/dog kills, I don’t drive without a bumper, wanted to run a shrockworks but they’re a 6 month wait (no thanks)

BFG KO2’s are my tire, they handle the gravel roads, they ride good, little to no noise, and my last set on a F-150 had 35k miles and was on track to go 60k on the same set. I love everything about them.

OVTune was more of a curiosity buy, I have no complaints about this truck. If you baby it, it will shift around like an idiot. If you drive it like it’s suppose to be, it performs flawlessly. I will be running 87 Performance as soon as it arrives to see what it does for the low end performance. Very excited for that.

Cheers, Pumpjack

 

Bumper was an absolute nightmare to put on, but it turned out slick.

 

Truck is looking good

 

Looking good, I stuck with the factory wheels too!
