MDNGHT BUILD

Thanks man! She's coming along well now. But realistically, the build will never finish haha

 

Patience!There is so much more i want to do as well but as we all know,funds have to be available!Good luck!

 

Yea I here ya, it's been like 3 ish months I think since I installed my OME lift and I'm already dreaming about going with a king setup haha. Same with tires, I've had these BFG's since November and I'm just drooling at the thought of going up to 35's in an MT tire

 

OME,Bilstein,King,Icon,spindle upgrade,etc.Patience if possible @millertime89!Good luck!35's to much for me but we all have our own preferences.Do what you want!Common sense we know that's what it is about!

 

Motocross races a week ago and we took the duck hunting boat out to break in a new motor

 

What size wheel spacers did you buy for the 285's to fit?

 

When I had stock rims I used 1/4" wheel spacers on the front and removed the mud flaps. With the new rims I'm not running wheel spacers since the rims are 4.5 BS and I think off the top of my head the offset was -12mm

 

They gave your grandpa a trenching tool when he was going to be on a battleship?? What was he going to use the tool for??? hahaha. US military at its finest!

 

I guess I could clarify... he took the military spade sometime at the end of the war. It's not like the navy and army never crossed paths haha.

I actually used it the other day when my dad and I went duck hunting. Didn't figure to bring a shovel but we got our boat trailer stuck in some gumbo mud... needless to say an hour later of mostly pulling it out with a tow rope and a bit of shovelling got 'er free.

 

Hahaha. Yeah i was in the air force and i got crap issued to me when i deployed that i never used or needed. Just extra crap they want you to carry over and back with you. I figured the trenching tool was the same case.

Glad your grandpa made it back ok.

 

hey long time, so dumb question, did you run wheel spacers on all 4 wheels?

 

Hey man, I just had the .25" wheel spacers on the front until I got the new rims.

 

would you have rubbed if you hadn't?

 

Yea with the bigger tires/ lift I would have contacted the upper control arms. The spacers gave me some room in between the tire and UCA. Wheel spacers aren't too expensive though, 1/4" ones are pretty cheap and a lot of over guys on here run bora or spidertraxx 1.25" spacers which are like $100 ish dollars for a pair I believe depending on where you buy them from

 

Been pretty busy with finals lately but I got a few things done on the truck. I rotated the tires and changed the oil on the weekend and I also installed my redline hood struts that I've had since June and my quick fists in the bed which I've had since July...






And here's an action shot of my hood struts while I filled up the windshield juice at my buddies place....

 

Hello, your rig is sick. Is the suspension still the same as you listed on 1/2015? I like the look of the set up. I have the same color truck as you but short box, and am considering a 3" lift. So just curious if you still have what you listed back then and how its going? Thanks
