What are you guys doing for tailgates? My OEM one is fucked

 

What tailgate?

 

Sitting in my shed with a small dent in it lol

 

turning mine into a bench

 

when you made the swap to ADD hubs, did you have to buy any spacers? I had a shop press the new bearings in. when I install the CV's and put any torque on the axle nut the axle wont spin at all.. I think im missing something.

 

I have 3 DJI Osmo 4 they are ok, but prone to heat issues, in the des I have had issues with them in the housing and hot days, even under the truck. Other than that I have had 0 issues with them, even knocking one off from a tree branch at speed and it never skipping a beat.

Tire gate.

 

hmm no I didn't do anything special other than swap my spindles.
Maybe they botched the press job

 

Anyone have JD fab frame brace and shock towers for SOA setups? How do you like it, I am just starting to look into shock relocation (I am not pushing the truck as much as you guys) looking for a plushier ride out back with weight. Over stock, I have basically 400lbs over stock for constant weight in the bed (a camper and a full aluminum Bowen Custom bed coming soon)

Seems like JD does the most with their kit not only reinforce the frame weak area, but also relocation. Staying stock width up front, Kibbetech UCA, OEM King, DRT fabricated spindle, I do want to do a lower pivot up front as well. What are your guys' thoughts on the relocation from JD, any other better options I am missing?

What are the wheel offset options? What's the minimum back spacing for that kit with a tall skinny 33?

Truck won't be pushed much, 60% time it's on the pavement, but I do want a bit extra upper limit when on dirt while staying stock width.

 

Based on their philosophy of why going spring under is a benefit I am actually kind of surprised they offer a SOA setup. But if people are asking for it, it may be a slight improvement over stock. I will be going SUA with a 4" wider Dynatrac ProRock 60 hopefully this fall. If you do all of their SOA parts you are not saving much from the SUA setup. Front will also be changed from their stock length setup to 2.25 over. The Lower Control Arm pivots I feel is mandatory before anything else up front. It is the foundation.
