What height are you in the front? Garrett isn't the only one with King's to be installed...

 

37" to the bottom of the front part of the driver fender flare since I didn't trim that. 37.25" on the passenger side.

 

Thanks Brian. These didn't have much preload from factory(2 threads) a buddy loaned me a nice spring compressor, so I want to get it close so I won't have to turn it too much once installed, even tho your video made it look easy, I'd still like to minimize it. I don't think I'll do more than 7 and 5.

 

Do you have the spanner wrench? No spring compressor needed with that.

 

@geekhouse23 @kgarrett11 That 37" measurement I mentioned above is with 35" tires ... so if you have 33s I guess it would be around 36" at the same spot.

 

Yes I'm working on it. I want to get it close prior to installing tho. Do you have a paint number/pic of the paint you hit the resi mount with? I like how yours turned out, I might even paint the red jba the same color as well

 

That paint is Sail Blue Rustoleum Gloss Protective enamel. Got mine at HomeDepot.

Great thanks. Ill post pics once finished. Hopefully this is a big difference from my 5100's!

 

Lol night and day difference. You'll love it.

 

I could instantly tell even just driving on the road ... but offroad is where they really make the difference.

 

Brian, did you do your body lift yourself or have someone do it for you?

 

Had someone do it. Just much easier to install with a floor lift.

 

@boogie3478 I was watching your diff swap video studying up for my diff swaps and ended up watching you mall crawling video with the new gears. I noticed you have a TRD insert for your snorkel screen. Where did you find it? I crunched mine out grocery shopping for an Elk in the snow up against a tree. Thanks for the DIY gear swap video it was a huge help and saved a lot of time because my game plan was to attack it like the ECGS bering and waste a lot of time taking apart things that don’t need to be.

 

@ilubtimmyhos actually printed that TRD snorkel insert for me on his 3D printer.

 

Are you rocking your HC bumper yet?

 

He knows I have been waiting a month now to see it mounted. Slacker...

 

Lol that bumper is my most procrastinagatory project to date. To be fair I tweaked my back a little, but now my back is better and I'm just being lazy.

 

You need help? My back hurts too, but together we make one person!

 

I think you mean to say @boogie3478 quit procrastinating and make the damn youtube video already. We want to see that thing mounted.
