Shit..thats a long ways..

 

well hate to do it, but it is looking like I am going to have to drop out.

 

damn it! We must be getting to that stage were ppl start realizing life issues popping up

Bummer to hear that man! Next year

 

Lift and Tires going on this month!!! Bout damn time!

 

whatcha puttin on?

 

5100's with 885 coils
Toytech AAL
Custom 1.25" body lift
1.25" wheel spacers
315/70/17 Big O A/T's

Not my first choice in tire, but they're free and have at least 1/4" tread left.

I installed the small body lift a couple weeks ago. Those things are the biggest pita, but I prefer it to cut down on the fender hacking a bit.

Gotta find somebody/somewhere to chop the cab mount. I don't mind chopping it, but I can't weld...yet.

 

Lots of cutting to fit 35s I'm doing the same thing

 

Yeah. The cutting and pounding don't really scare me that much. I plan to get it aligned and then pull the coilover and cycle the suspension in the driveway. It's the driving around on stock gears for a while that scare me. I won't be able to do those for about a year.

My wife says I accelerate like a old man. So I'm hoping my diff and trans won't hate me too much.

 

Are you getting upper control arms? I think you'll need them

 

The front is only going up 2.5 inches, so I was going to see what it is after alignment.

I've read a lot of mixed reviews at that height. Anything over that pretty much has to have them. Anything at 2.5" or less doesn't always need them.

 

I got the OME 885x on OME shocks and ended up with just over 3" of lift. Needless to say i need ucas bad! You should be alright with the DC my truck weighs a good amount less due to being a regular cab.

 

Yeah, I was seeing that the DCLB's are only getting 2.5" at most.

New UCA's are in the long term plans. Once this setup wears out I'll go up to a full 3" lift with kings/icons/etc. Haven't really researched those as they are nowhere near in the budget right now.

How are you liking the OME?

 

I like it quite a bit after putting on new Ucas. It rides much better and a lot smoother than stock.

 

yea plus adam his is a v6 no a 4 banger.

 

I was just saying that it rides better with upper control arms. And the is about a 1000 pound difference between the two trucks.

I'm just so impressed with my camburg upper control arms that I had to share my experience!
