+SconnieHailer's Build & BS+

No cab mount chop! I've got my cam tabs In the rear LCA holes pushing caster forward as much as I can. My uca being heimed is the x factor too for why I don't rub anywhere for normal daily driving. I'm about to go flex out and see where I rub one of these days. The 295 is a great size imo.

 

Awesome, yeah I've been eyeing 295's for a few years honestly...and the new BFG treadwall looks so good and aggressive, its a no brainer for me that those will be my next set, had the old style and loved them, may just have to pull the trigger on the 295's when the time comes

 

So you still have solid mounts in front and the cams in the rear? I am going to cut myself some tabs this afternoon, then likely drill the rear ones like you have them setup, fully outboard, then drill the fronts maybe halfway from center to full inboard, and dial it in with the UCA.

 

I also agree on 295 being a great size.

 

That should be perfect. I've gotta cut some new ones too. This weekend!

 

Here are the blanks I cut last night, got them to within .01" of each other using just calipers, a cutoff wheel and flap disc. The large ones for the front are 2.12" x 1.6", rears are 1.87" x 1.5", which are the dims I got for the TC tab widths.

 

Makes me excited for the day when a laser that can cut steel will be readily avalible to consumers. The ones that do wood and plastics are out now for 2-4 grand. Be awesome to get something like that for steel stuff like this wouldn't it

 

You could Build your own plasma table. I know a guy that has built one himself before.

 

Yea still very expensive. Like 6-10k

 

Yeah, that would/will be nice. Tabs were being sold for $75-100, made these for free and a few hours with the cutoff wheel. Plus, doing the holes offset is going to be a custom deal and trying to get those specs right where I want them from a manufacturer would be tough as they might not end up being symmetrical for my purpose.

 

no doubt.

would just be nice to be able to have a file on a computer and just modify it slightly as needed. Then an hour later, perfectly cut piece. haha Id pay 3 grand for a mini laser cutter like that.

 

Yea way too much money for me. Wish you where closer to me. Be we could make some sweet shit

 

You really should run hydro bumps on your setup @SconnieHailer The arms are designed to be able to run them, plus I've seen the way you drive that thing(well in pictures that is)!

 

Haha, I'll get to air bumps up front one day. I've really become more civil in my driving habits. I really like the set and forget of the superbumps, no maintenance.

 

Understandable.. The air bumps are set and forget also.. just so you know.

 

I know but slightly more work to get in right. I'm happy for now

 

That's fair... That's fair.

The air bumps were insanely easy to set correctly though. all it took was a few marks of a sharpie then cut, weld, paint and go. Just so you know. Lol.

 

Marc, is dirt king themselves the only distributor for the lowers? Couldnt find them anywhere else.

 

Yes. Small shop and made to order pretty much like MCM.

Yea..but big boy toys!

 

Yes, you have to go through Dirt King exclusively in order to purchase their lowers.
