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

Doesn’t need to be a market when you’re not planning to sell them. Not everybody needs a 200k$ truck. And many do appreciate improving the factory weak points.

 

Is the lower arm pivot still what would provide the best solution I'm looking for? I suck ass at alignments in the driveway and I've already chewed the shit outta 2 35s, my steering is whining like a house cat stuck outside too. Tires rub the F outta all the sheet metal things!
Just wondering if I should get a mid-travel arm kit and gusset the LCA area as seen from Marlin/TC, instead.

Tell me what to buy damn it! lol

 

Going to an MT kit and adding gussets won't solve any of your main complaints. The JD lower pivot kit was designed to allow you to move the tire forward to minimize rubbing with bigger tires and strengthens everything in the process.

That and the Howe pump upgrade and you'll be in a much better position than doing the MC kit with a standard MT setup.

 

1000 thank you's!

Never going back to 33s, btw

 

The pivot kit solved all my 35's rubbing issues and i have all the caster now. Do it.

 

My LCA pivot kit is out for delivery as we speak. If I can possibly make the meet up at rush, you'll be able to see it 1st hand and go from there.

 

Seriously, everything in this link will solve all your problems.

Yeah, I know it lol

 

Plan to have it before then. My front end feels really fragile tbh

 

Hit me up when you do it, hopefully I'll have mine done and can help if you have any questions

Are you guys removing the seals before welding the spindle gussets?

 

I would remove anything. the seals are cheap to replace if you F them up. The same brand that covers the OEM can be found for $10 or so. I tried to reuse but had to replace some.

 

Yes. And I also bolted in an old bearing and the lower ball joint bracket to prevent any distortion.

 

Yep, very easy to pop it out with a flathead and reuse it. I didn't bolt anything into the spindle to prevent distortion. I just jumped back and forth between spindles and was mindful of how much heat I was putting into them. I took a couple of short 5-10 min breaks.

 

*Achievement Unlocked*

 

Yep, RCV will do a batch of 10 of them. They were reasonably priced. I don't remember the exact but I think it was in the $250-$300 range. I haven't had issues yet - and thought that we wouldnt' have issues using OEM CV's. Just when using RCV CV's, it becomes an issue but so far, OEM hold up to 39-40" tires fairly well without risking blowing up the front ring and pinion or ARB Carrier.

 

Who's ready to add portals to their JD kit?

For a cool 15k. Super bad ass, but….

 

15k US? Either way, it's just money tree.
