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

How late in the yr does fire season go? I'll be out there labor day weekend flying into Pheonix then going up to Page.

 

Oh boy! She’s getting some fresh air today so I can do a solid shop cleaning.

 

That came out looking really good.

 

Giggity

 

Thank you! Starting bumpers today, my dad is starting on body tomorrow. She’s on schedule to be done before June at this rate.

 

Basically until it’s snowing. Even then it’s like fire season is just year round.
I hope the Page trip is fun. The lake has been so low it’s not looking good at all.

 

We're going to Antelope Canyon, N. Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and just putz around for a couple days. Trying to find a jeep or sxs rental place and do a little exploring some of the trails around.

 

@snowsk8air2 doing Jeep things.
Needs an alignment, and see if we can get it to settle some more. 18x600# springs. Upper uni almost vertical slightly extended. Maybe hitting dirt next weekend. . .

 

Is it just the pic or is the front end sitting that high? Maybe my front end is just low, I have no point of reference. I’m just comparing the angle of the LCA’s.

 

No, its sitting high. But the uniballs are just past vertical. So, once the spring settles and I actually put some gas in it. Its on super empty. Should come down. yes, it sits way higher than Snowsk8air's truck.

 

Might have to follow your foot steps and drop to 550. But we'll see how it does. Need to get it out, run it. See what needs to be tuned, Etc.

 

Is there any tricks the cam bolts that come with the lower pivots? I put the tear drop on the front and back. I got it on the truck and straight enough to drive it to the alignment shop but afraid at some of the cam washers on the back are not aligned properly and the shop is also not going to know what to do with it as I am the first in my area to have done the lower pivots.

 

Just make sure your alignment washers are offset to the same side. Inboard, outboard. Not one inboard one outboard. Where it puts the bolt at an angle.
Maybe look for a shop that specializes in lowered or custom cars. They might be more workable as far as an alignment. I sure as hell wouldnt try that with a Firestone or something.

 

Couple of notes from my truck so far; again.
The ADS coil overs so far, built much much better than the Radflo for this LT kit. They aren't the limiting factor on droop and they aren't the limiting factor on bump.
Bump can fully compress the DuroBumps and have plenty of space left on the shock.
Droop, the limiting factor on droop is upper ball bind and UCA to spring contact. Even though the straps are at the highest point on the frame and the offset is set to the highest. I am ordering some shorter straps. We still have contact. So ordered up some short ones and we'll go from there.
As far as the ride height. It looks high. Aint gonna lie. But needs and alignment. Plus if the springs settle just a little. Then the upper uni balls will be vertical. Right now, just a lil past vertical. This is with 0 spring pre load on the 18" 600# springs. Vs with the Radflo 16" 650# we actually had to put in preload? Idk, I'm not experienced enough to under stand that.

All in all, much better than a few months ago.

 

Its sitting a little high but let’s see how things are after alignment and a test drive. Getting close though.

 

I wonder if lots of it is in the alignment or something. I don’t have a bumper on mine and it sits lower. I’m also on 18x600’s.

 

Mine sits low. Edit, added a picture with the preload on the springs too. I think these are 650lbs?

 

600x18? I'm hoping mine comes down a couple of inches yet.

 

Whatever Jd specified. I can’t remember off the top of my head.

 

@snowsk8air2 measured the shaft also. If I remember right now it’s sitting at 5” showing at current ride height.
