New Mexico Owners BS Thread

gonna order today! i just got done installing my 55w hi/lo's and 35w fogs ish hella bright! cant wait to light up the night. also finally got around to installing my weathertech liners! oh yea what else will i do today

 

done with the back for now. buggy leaf!

 

thats crazy as hell david damn nice flexing haha

 

Nice kevins a sicko baller

 

Going for it huh? Looks good! What are you planning to use as a daily driver?

Y'all go on Spring Break and this forum is quiet enough to hear an ant fart. My break isn't until next week.

 

You're right greg...it is very very quiet...for the first time i didn't have to read through pages and pages to catch up to the discussion lol... what exactly does the buggy leaf do?

 

If you look at the picture, in back he has two leaf springs stacked on top of each other. The top one is upside down and it forms an elliptical shape. Typically leaves only offer a few inches of flex. A buggy leaf basically doubles the amount of suspension travel.

It's usually done on off road only vehicles. There is so much soft flex that they usually aren't considered safe on the street.

 

5 stars for SPRING BREAK!!! Wouldn't he get the same flex with revolver shackles, without the worry or insane body roll. I know shackles would have the same, but at least you could run sway bar disconnects.

 

hey guys im pretty much gonna order a procomp 6" stage one lift id go stage 2 but its another grand for coil overs and diff rear shocks, what type of coil overs should i go with if i want to mix it up a bit? for the addition 1k i figured i could get something different or am i just over thinking it?

or should i just get the stage1 and see how it rides and then go from there?

 

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

Revolver shackles would essentially do the same thing when it comes to travel but I don't know much about them so I can't say if there is less body roll or anything. I bet they're more expensive though. You can find extra leaves easily for cheap or free. I honestly don't know all of the pros and cons of each system.

The stage 2 is $1000 more than a stage 1 and all you get is coils and shocks? I'd think you could get just as good if not better coilovers and rear shocks for the same amount of money. You could even do OME, which everybody loves, is well respected, and save like $500.

I can't see anything on your light pictures. Too bright.

 

Thanks for the info greg.

lol i bet those hid's are bright as hell. i have the exact same set up. Do you get high beamed pretty often? i can't go a day without somebody head beaming me..lol

 

i used to get HB with stock lights im like WTF i high beam them back and see there face like and as i pass

 

iv used revolver shackles the buggy leaf actualy lets it articulate more by letting both the leaf pack shackle and buggy leaf twist around less stress on the leaf pack revolvers twist but still bined when rotation happens

 

hahahah i did it. not too bad on the road. and this is my daily driver lol. doesnt sway anymore than it did before but i dont drive crazy on the street. so i wouldnt know if it would roll over takeing a corner at 45mph. but im sure it would if i flipped it over without a buggy leaf doing a powerslide on wet grass in a park at midnight lol

 

This weekend is the start of my spring break and I would love to drive down but my wife is out of town and I'm going to have the kids.

That's what I suggested too in a pm. For $1000, I think you can get much better coils and shocks than Pro Comp.

I even suggested something like 5100's or ome up front with low or no lift and a custom 4" Alcan or Deaver leaf pack in back. That would cost about the same amount. I think it would be pretty sweet too.

 

That's got more flex than ronnie coleman.

Greg -- wtf... You're done impersonating a boy?

I'm trying to lift my truck this summer --- somebody -- friggin help me out!!!!!! Plus, I need to work on my black card status, and cocaine season is coming up!!!
