What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

chrome aint cool at my mall.........people see me rolling

 

i hate you

 

Fox Perf. Elite with Camburg UCAs. Those UCA long bolts can be a bitch; but eventually figured it out...

 

nice!! Yeah, gotta bend the firewall a little to get that bolt up through the engine. Not a biggy at all.

 

Good idea! Thanks

 

Nice setup! Why did you do camburg over spc ?

 

I use the same one here in VA. I also put the window vent visors on and crack the windows a little during the summer. Combination of the two really makes a makes a big difference.

 

I didn’t realize SPC was the gold standard…we’re not too far removed from SPC having catastrophic failures and cracking.

 

whats this? I’ve always been told they were the bees knees

 

First I’ve heard of it. https://youtu.be/d4A3QGLEpTQ

You should get out more…

 

Here it is with the 6112's at 11/9 and rxt opt 1 in the rear(coming soon 5160's) total install only took me 10 hours solo

 

Added in overhead switch panel, installed and wired up lighting. The air compressor is going to be next…. Used a hack saw blade to do all the trimming - quite a bit, but worked great.

 

SPC are awesome because there are quite adjustable -- which is great when you get 3"+ lift to help dial in camber... I didn't need that at only 2" and i got a really good deal on the camburg - so good enough to go

 

Got the first side fender tub all done and seam sealed/coated.

 

It's not the Kings that solve this, it's the ability to fine tune the amount of flex without hitting any components. Most of the air/hydro bumps will allow adjustments. While the non bumps are set and done. In the photo earlier you can see where the bump stop is up against the frame and there is more travel. You could do your best by trying to adjust the standard bumps or buy longer/bigger/shorter bumps. That might work too. It's just not something I want to do when I could purchase this kit and adjust on the fly, not waiting for parts.

Skinny tires would help but would be a similar outcome to adding spacers. Essentially moving the inner side wall out a little. Price of tires vs the spacers, assuming you don't need new tires, spacers win. In terms of skinny tires for better off roading its really what you consider better off roading, no real right or wrong answer here. Some people love them, some people hate them. Obviously a wider tire will leave a wider foot print when aired down, beyond that, I can tell you from my experiences wider tires or slight poke have saved plenty of fenders out on deep trails where the tire pushes the vehicle away from a rock wall or a deep trail. Most folks love skinny tires for weight reduction and on road behavior, while still being able to wheel.

It's not that you're missing something it's that its not for you at this point in your build, and maybe never will be. We are all at different stages of modification on our vehicles. Thats the point of these forums to be able to share and grow a positive community. Either way thanks for watching.

 

Truck looks great! Do you think you would have had room for 285/75R/17?

 

Man your fender cuts are so nice, mine are terrible.
