Camerond05's build page. Slow. Boring

Here's few more build pages to check out:

Thanks man! Really appreciate all the help

 

You're welcome. If you're throwing down the bills I want your ride to be as legit as all these - no sense in spending money and not having anything special in the end.

 

Yup, good guy right there.

Do you know the purpose of the battery in the bed?

 

The core support (sheet metal holding all your engine compartment items in place that aren't directly mounted to the frame) will start to bend / break under the weight of the battery bouncing around on rough terrain.

 

Ah gotcha. Thanks man, once again

 

Mine are piggybacks, the tube configuration I have on the bypass the resi is out of the way, remotes give you some extra flexibility on how you might want to build things. There's like 4 different tube layouts you can order fyi

 

I really like your bed cage, still leaves space in the bed. Did you start it from scratch?

 

Most people move the battery to the passenger side in the bed to keep the wieght off the support and to combat the "taco lean"

 

The only thing on my truck that I didn't build myself were the sliders. I bought those and welded em on

 

Understood, do you know what causes the taco lean, luckily my truck doesn't have it. Got a few buddies that have it forsure

 

So badass man! Did you just mount up the piggies and get some measurements and go from there??

 

The driver, the gas tank and battery are all on the same side that's why

 

@Basikbiker shit man, just realized you're from commifornia also! Where abouts?

 

No, when cycling the new springs I went to full droop measured full extension, traced the arc of the upper eyelet fully extended on a board, then went to full bump, collapsed the shock to about 1/2" shaft travel left and traced that arc on the same board, where the arcs intersect is where your upper shock mount goes.

Not too far. I'm near Tahoe.

That sounds confusing, but actually pretty simple. Had to reread that a few times! Thanks man!

 

Yea it's hard to explain through text

 

Got another thread for you - lots of build pages in the sigs

Also, Don't bother with any +2" kit. If you are spending that kind of money, might as well go big or go home. Also, if you are worried about width between a +2" kit and a +3.5" kit on trails, you probably shouldn't be on that trail anyway!
