Advice - I currently have those stock predator steps on my truck with an Icon Stage 4 that gave me about 2" overall. Tires are 265/75/16s...should I remove the predator steps?

Thanks.

 

Unless you have sliders I would leave them on. Better than nothing.

Or you could also argue they will hang on things more and be a damage multiplier if bent upwards

 

I know...wish I could just take the hanging steps off.

 

Most of us bring enough power tools that if they need to be removed they could be taken off in a timely manner.

 

you could. Just cut them off, sand, and repaint. But for that much work just order sliders

 

None of my coolers fit in trunk of the FRS. Will need to buy a new cooler I guess.
EZ Up won't fit either.

LOL

 

Bud Built in NC has sliders in stock

 

Get a big chassis mount wing. Strap EZ-up onto it

 

Take em off, they're aluminum and will end up royally screwed up by small stuff, plus they eat a lot of clearance.

 

Dont miss that lol

 

You should def do that. You can practice your drifts with me and Levi.

 

Yes the drifts!!!

 

Hey man...Stewart County had some significant wind damage this morning from this storm passing over. Be careful if you're still headed that way!

 

Thanks buddy...we canceled our trip today. Rain is one thing but crazy storms I’ll pass. Thanks again for the heads up!

 

No problem.

 

I mean, I dont want to be the ONLY reason you bring the truck...but I do enjoy that thing.

 

Sadly I have my coilovers boxed up heading to Fox for a rebuild (I'd rather be doing this myself). I've had a slight issue with them for a while now, drastic driver side lean. Upgraded springs to 650# (or so I thought; spring test will tell the truth) then added a winch so maybe 700# springs are needed. A tech at fox mentioned there may be an issue with the shock itself along with a weak spring; they'd be able to ID anything upon tear down.



Also sent off my BORA wheel spacer to get a lug pressed in since a shop broke it off when I had them rotate my tires a few months back (ive been using them since 2014 and I have had no issues taking lugs on and off. . .let a shop do it once and thats what I get). They have a lifetime warranty so I figure let them do the work.

Getting ready for the trip coming up, cant wait!

 

Is that a different bumper on the front? Looks beefy as fuck!

 

it is. A friend and I made that with his tube bender in his garage when I was in WA. took us 36 hours of work; I think 2 full weekends. we designed the bumper completely around the winch (and we made the winch mount also, but they are separate so you can remove the bumper and not the winch if need be). I didnt write anything down for design, just had an image in my head and created it. very happy with the result.

 

Don't do 700lb springs. You'll get far better performance from 650s.
