What I used for my 5 packs and the wheelers AAL. was almost to short for that but I imagine it would be great for just the 5 pack.

 

you wont need to but you should i have almost 5 inches of lift in the rear and dont have but i will be getting one soon

 

front should be fine, right guys? but back it wouldnt need one, but just to be on the safe side id get one.

 

What?

Also..what??

 

^^^ X2. Im confused as well

 

we need some more pics theres 64 pages and like 5 of them have pics solid. add some more guys. i love seeing these

 

Half ass washed mine..

 

the BPV bracket. you said what would you need for the front, and would you be ok without one in the rear.

 

BPV bracket is only for the rear brakes..there isn't a brake valve up front.

You need a long rear line too, shouldn't need a longer front one.

 

haha that really is half assed, i can see dirt and stuff on the bed

 

yea i just rinsed it off lol was a lot lot worse before. Could even tell the sliders, wheels or rear bumper was black..

but im going out again this and next weekend..whats the point haha

 

have you ever noticed, that the rear axle sits further towards the back of the fenders instead of center? i noticed when i tried them 16" eagle alloys, and 285/75/16 yokohamas on. and it showed real bad. and yours does too.

 

i have that same problem so when im fully flexed i only rub in the rear if it waa centered they wouldnt rub much.. is there anything to fix that ?

 

yep..a saw ha

and that'll vary by leaf pack too. When i was rebuilding my leaf packs i first used a Skyjacker main leaf..it brought everything more forward so it rubbed on the front of the fender. I went back to the Alcan main leaf.

Its really not that bad tho..i mean my tires rub on my front elite bumper too when fully stuffed..

 

The rule of thumb for the BPV arm is to raise the arm the same amount as the amount of lift you end up with.

The 1.5"s is an estimate, YMMV. Measure center of the wheel hub to the bottom of you wheel well fender before and after lift to see how much you ended up with and raise the BPV arm accordingly. Raising the arm brings your front to back braking balance back into the normal range. It will help long term with brake wear and will definitely help with panic stops.

IMO if you get less than 2" of lift, your stock rear brake line should be long enough. But the only sure way to know is to max out the flex on driver rear. With the rear wheel drooping as far as it will go, see how your brake line between the BPV and the axle is. It needs to have some play when you are at full flex. If it is taut, replace it with a longer line.

 

^^^ Thankyou. That is the solid info I have been looking for

 

Wheels are SICK as F*ck! I want the gun metal! wish i had the money

 

YW Good luck with the install.

 

Well i cant install this weekend but maybe the weekend of the 13th. So that leaves me time to get u bolts. will the wheelers 6.75" U-bolts work with their 5 pack?
