My68ur8's Build

Awesome truck so far man!

 

The Suspension parts are finally starting to show up

Allpro Shacke Flip showed up today



now I just need the rest of it to get here

Justin

 

Look what showed up today



These are the nicest coilovers that I have scene. I picked them up from URD.

Ordered them last week and they showed today

now I just need the rest of the Fabtech kit to actually put this stuff on..

Justin

 

Those look pretty nice, and your whole set up is close to me! Are you worried about any tranny problems without re-gearing and 35s, I know my truck will pull them fine with my supercharger but IDK about the trans without a regear.

 

i am going to start with 33s i think.

the IPT valvebody upgrade is in my future since I have a 2.85" pulley and headers yet to go on.

if I go 35s, it will get 4:88s too

Justin

 

Finished the DTLT header install today. I will say, there is alot more room under the hood of the X than the 4x4. The steering shaft was a pain to get by and then getting the passenger side was a PIA to get it to line up and not hit the upper strut mount

but they are on there

The truck sounds really really nice with them along with the stock Y and URD catback with a short version of the Dynomax turbo muffler

Justin

 

truck is lookin good!

 

did you get the standard or extended travel?

 

They are standard travel. I dont need much need for me at the moment for extended travel. Maybe in the future


Another update

Alcans shipped yesterday
XD Addicts ordered last week too

now I need to order tires.

Justin

 

Man, I hate that I had to leave town! Everything looks to be comin together so damn well! Best of luck with everything you pursue!

 

Can't wait to see all this finally installed! What kinda tires you planning on running?

 

I am torn on tires at the moment.

33 MTZs
33 KM2s
33 General aT2 ( I get a killer deal on them)

I am going to start with 33s though

Justin

The new General Grabber Competition ( DOT version) I get a great deal on generals, so I an looking into these too







Justin

 

EZ Down Tailgate damper



and the dremel work needed to clear the cable

 

got my rear shocks today

12" travel Bilstein 5125s with top mount conversion



Still gathering parts

Justin

 

Ohhhh man, I am def following Justin! Keep us posted.

 

What valving did you get?

 

they are the H5s, which is the lightest they offer in that length/model.

I was really looking for 170/60 valving, but these are 255/70

Hopefully they wont be too harsh, we shall see. if they are I will order some 5150s and put these up for sale. I think they will be fine though

My Alcans should be here by the end of the week

Justin

 

I saw something about new 5160's with a reservior....

 

those look nice, the 5150s have a small resevoir, I think these 5125s will do me just fine, but I wont know until I get it all together. I still need a few more parts ( the fabtech kit itself...)
