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

Not sure what drop out is..

My angles are decent I think. And it flexs pretty good too

 

Yes 7S requires stock mounting locations, I was more painting a picture of a stockish front end. And yes building a whole kit would be the easiest thing for me but I’m trying to do something that gives back to the community. If I can come up with something that is very affordable and easy to install then I achieved my goal. In the past I’ve never cared about anyone but myself and would build what’s best for me I do however realize not everyone has an extra $5-6k to blow on a suspension kit

 

Drop out is the amount of wheel travel from ride height to fully extended.

 

Ill try to measure that. But im not sure

 

Do you have pics of your firewall?

 

I just flattened the pinch weld. I had a cam mount chop already but have the alpine design relocation to go on eventually

 

How much caster do you have?

 

The alignment place screwed me the most recent time. They put 3.2, when I asked for 3.7.

Next time around ill be able to reverse out of a spot without having to do a 9 pt turn

 

Have you cycled the suspension to see if you have tire clearance throughout the travel? Are you saying as it sits you can’t get to full lock in reverse??

 

I haven't cycled it. But yes, as it sits, full lock reverse on a driveway, it rubs. For normal driving, no rubbing.

Even in my flex picture, the only rubbing was at the cab mount.

 

So what happens on a trail if the suspension is flexed and you need to reverse? You’re saying you wouldn’t be able to turn?

 

Not a full lock turn. Or some self clearancing/slight rubbing will happen

 

Not bashing but I don’t understand the point of 35’s if the compromise is steering loss on a trail?

 

Didn’t really get much done on the truck today except take a bunch of measurements and made some templates for the lower arms which are getting some gussets and beefing up the bump pad for the air bumps.

I did snag a few pics of the craziest Cummings powered land cruiser ever that JD Fabrications built- enjoy

 

...

 

Bad ass!

 

Yeah it’s safe to say that thing is my dream ride... it’s nicer than most new cars inside, the cage is 100% hidden and the Cummings makes soooo much torque

 

Just swung by the shop and my new arms were back from powder coat!!

Any particular reason you went with rubber bushings instead of poly?
