Idaho BS thread in the PNW

He has a 4 banger tho man.

 

Yes I want a progressive setup... That's why I think the Icon's arn't as great for me as they sound.

 

The aluminum 4.0 is very light

 

get king or fox shocks with King 700lb coils.

 

Still more weight..haha more then you would think i bet.

 

I'm watching ur thread to see what results u get when u make your decision.

 

my first plasti dipped thing ever....i hope my wheels come out better than this

 

my bumper is 110
winch is 56 (synthetic line)
batteries 100

I have the 885x which are 650lb/in

 

haha call me I'll walk you through it.

 

No you are right Monte! I hit a speed bump last week at 30MPH and hit my tires on the top of my fender. It's time this mall crawler gets something stronger. Problem is just figuring out what's best without going to OME 886... Every one has them and they ride ok but I want it to ride a little better then that. I'm selling the current lift (sorta new) and going to do it right this time!

 

you are not getting skids? Plus you need to add the sliders into your calculation

 

LOL! jesus man haha

yea id say 700lb coils are like at a minimum or so..maybe even higher...


the King or Fox shocks will ride much better as well.

 

slider another 80lbs and rack another 70

 

I'm working on getting skids but I haven't heard back yet

 

BUT THEY ARE SOOOOOO DAMN MUCH $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I think the 700lb is going to be a little too stiff but what I need. Going to have to shop around... Why do I have to give Cali my money???

 

isnt it just like painting? 7 " away, smooth passes, and what ever you do dont lay too thick of a coat?

christ i hope you get some fancy new gears or you wont get that I4 rolling it will be so heavy...

 

Can i ask why, whats the point?[/QUOTE]Yeah, that is pretty much what I did. Is your SD card working again?

I've learned from experience that the factory alignment specs (the green) is way too wide.

If you are lucky enough to get a good, experienced tech, it doesn't matter. They will get the toe to 0 degrees or slightly under. They will get the camber to 0 degrees and then do the best they can with caster. On your setup caster will likely somewhere between 1 and 1.5 degrees. Not optimal but with as much lift as you have and still using stock UCAs you can't expect any better.

However, if you are unlucky and get an inexperienced tech (or one who is pissed off at his employer and doesn't take pride in his work) you may not get optimal settings.

If you do not get a print out with the exact setting it was set to, and when you are not particularly happy with the way your truck drives, you will have absolutely no way of determining why.

 

some relentless ones?? those are sexy skids.

i don't think so man. I bet the 700lb coils will be perfect really..thats a lot of weight up front. I mean i am thinking of getting Fox 700lb coil overs next..

and yes..stupid pricey. Just keep your eyes pealed for some used ones! The great thing about them is you can rebuild them! Im trying to find a cheapish set of 2.5s..

 

that's part of the reason I'm holding off on skids... 75mph is just a dream for this truck

 

I haven't gone 75 in over 2 years. My mpgs takes a shit after 70 lol
