Deeezy's Locked Sport Grocery Getter Build

I got some 10" Icon VS 2.0 resis installed today. Now all I need is the leaf pack from Allpro. I gained a lot of droop from the 10" shocks. I cycled the rear and had to add a small additional bump stop until I get the new leaf pack. There's much more down travel now and my leaf pack is now the limiting factor.

 

Way more down travel with the 10" Icons than before:

 

Very Nice!

 

nice! whats your hub to fender measurements in the front and back?

 

Front is about 23-3/8"
Rear is about 24-1/4"

My front sagged about 1/8" after I put the steel bumper on. Rear stayed the same after the bumper and swingout.

I didn't measure what my truck was stock so I don't really have anything to compare it to to see how much lift I currently have.

 

most stock measurement are 20.5" upfront. so you're almost at a full 3" in front. and I think your rears are about 2" of lift. are you running the 700lb coils? and was it stiff when you didn't have the bumper on?

 

I have the 650 lb coils that come with the Icons. It's a stiffer than stock but it might be the load E tires. I think it's the load E tires. I don't have anything to compare it to again because I put the load E tires on with the lift. Lol. I like how it rides now. I don't really want the front soft because I took out my sway bar.
I let my wife decide on the sway bar and she drove it and said leave it off because she can tell one side can take bumps without effecting the other. It is way smoother on and off road with the sway bar gone. I just try and be a little more aware when driving.

 

Welcome to the swaybarless club... I was reluctant at first and it's so much better without it...especially like you said, going over bumps...nice and smooth...

 

Do you guys have body roll upfront when driving on the road?

 

There is more body roll than before but it's not bad. After you drive it for a while you adapt and it feels normal. Maybe if you make a damn high speed jerk back and forth several times then it'll be bad. I made a pretty hard back and forth evasive maneuver to avoid a car coming out of a driveway and it handled pretty good.

 

Looking good brah!

 

Thanks Iven!

You wouldn't believe how much these polyurethane bump stops compress. I left a "buffer zone" of almost 3/4" of solid poly bump stop and the stock bump stop can push through it and my shock reaches bottom by a hair. I ordered new bump stops to put on to give more of a safety zone.

 

I've had superbumps front and rear for awhile now

 

Brooks...as long as you have a nice suspension, the body roll is negligible... Aftermarket suspensions are more stiff anyways, so the handling is fine without the sway-bar. Yes...there is a little more roll, if you made a high speed maneuver, but it's def something you can handle... It does flex to terrain so much better without the sway bar... Plus you get the added benefit of more Hp...

 

Those are nice. I really want those Icon air bumps. It's going to be a while before any of that though.

 

Hey! you can't beat me to those!!!...

 

If I had just a 1/4" more pad on the top bump stop I installed, that would have been perfect for this leaf pack. I'm thinking that with the Allpro leaf pack that I might not need a bump extension.

 

My mom made my daughter a killer custom Pelfreybilt shirt. Looks very nice on her:

 

Awesome! Wait till Satin see's it... She'll be placing orders...
