Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

Truck pictured: Intended purpose? Tire size? Why add By-Pass shocks?

 

I don't think I want this lower relocation stuff but I think I might want-need it soon. Once the little cracks keep cracking and turning into bigger cracks. I'm done laying on my back grinding/welding on the garage floor. So lift in the shop first, then this.

 

I would love to do this to mine but I don't have Tig welding skills or a Tig gun for my machine, so I'm making a bumper that does the same thing from steel. I really like how you've done that that though.

 

Dang! That is awesome. I want that subframe/steering kit so bad! The Pelf bumper on that truck Is aluminum? Mine is steel and it really needed beefing up of the frame horns because even mild winch pulls deformed the flimsy stock hangers that are just intended for the aluminum crash bar.

Also, why not make the plate to the new subframe cross tube one straight piece like so:

 

If it was all one piece and it was damaged then you would be pulling the whole bumper, repairing and re powder coating the entire bumper. With the skid being separate piece it becomes a 5 minute replacement if damaged.

 

Don’t worry I have a plan. And there will be a new tube/crossmember that gets welded to the frame with a new winch plate welded to it then bolted to the old winch plate this way the load is taken off the frame horn ends

 

JESSE is a BROLANDER!!

ya, looks so much better. That clearance is a huge gain. wow, now all I see is a double chin on my truck. lol

 

That’s not what I had in mind for the reason you state. Could still be a separate aluminum bash plate going all the way forward/up to below the fair lead mount. But I’m sure OP will come up with something trick!

 

FYI the +4 kit cycles 15” of travel

Looking forward to getting my order in soon. Looks like a serious upgrade -- what are you recommending for modifying IFS skidplates to fit with the LCA rack?

I have a Mobtown Offroad steel skidplate, for reference.

 

I’m going to limit yours to 9” so don’t get too excited

 

8.54" so he can't round up.

 

Hey I’ve spent a lifetime with 9” I would notice that missing .46

 

Getting the last shock mount burned in and then time for final assembly @kasnerd

 

Is there a purpose for making that frame plate oriented like a diamond other than aesthetics? Just curious.

 

I think it looks clean like this
