Am I the only one who really likes the early first gen rims?

I love my first gen rims. Painted them semi gloss black and they look sweet!

 

It'll e stiffer then stock yes. Varies person t person. I liked the stiffer ride and after removing the sway bar bumps would almost barely be felt.

But that's a personally thing.

 

I like mine but they are gunmetal metallic with 31x10.5 BFG AT's

 

Theres a chance he might rub frame at full lock

 

with 10.5's?

 

That'll depend on the tire.

I don't think mark is and he is on 33x10.5s

 

I can see a 12.5 buffing some stuff but a 10.5 i don't think will. Personally id go 10.5 for the skinny look but that's just me, turning less weight, and better in certain conditions

 

What's this whole removing the sway bar thing? You really can't do it on a DD right?

 

You're right, i forgot mark is running a similar setup

 

Yea a 12.5 with rub without a doubt. Need 3.75BS for that. Plus a stock rim is too narrow anyways for 12.5 wide tire

Just go unbolt the front sway bar. Cheapest mod you can do. And yes you can especially with stiffer heavy duty coils. The offroad gains is awesome.

If you don't offroad. Then don't bother.

 

I mean it's not recommended for safety reasons but do-able. Some customer insisted so I did it with them assuming full responsibility for any mishaps.

I agree 100% I ditched mine 3 days after owning mine. It not only allows the front IFS to fully function more it also allows you to flex out. It's weird the first few days with a little bit of roll. I think it rides better also

 

Yea once you adjust to it it's not bad at all. Hell I took mine off the out eibachs on and though it rolled less then when I had my old coils and the bar on haha

 

What are the safety concerns?

 

Increased body roll in corners on the road.

But again not a big deal if you have heavy duty springs.

 

Well, looks like ill be doing this when I get home tomorrow!

 

Yea can always put it back on it you don't like it off

 

is it fine just to remove the sway bar end link to get a feel for it? and if it was preferred then remove entire sway bar or is it ok to run without the end link?

and OP, i think the wheels you posted are awesome (better painted black), id run them if I came across a set locally

 

i know a few guys that just have undone the sway bare from the end link then zip tied it up in the wheel well. They you have to remove the end link from the LCA. I wouldn't want to chance it flopping over into your coil or brakes..

Really it only takes like 10-15mins to take it off and put it back on.

 

I personally think they are hideous. lol Im trying to save up so I can get some new rims

 

They are anything but^ sway bar out!
