The Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland)

That's why you need a truck. It's all coming together now

 

His nuts need to be used and they wouldnt be so heavy

 

FUR BA FUR WIF DAKURS

 

Huh?

 

My attempt at a back-country accent FAIL

 

Get Oscar women...so his nuts don't explode

This is a cause that I can get behind.

 

your in a wonderland called college where the women are smart and sluttish as shit

 

Only if you were not married. ... you could be there too lol

 

Did you ever pick up this 886 springs?

 

Nope never made a commitment, idk if i will need them or not depends if the eibachs can handle the additional 125lbs of my bumper

 

I got free shiping....because Prime.

 

Fastenal does not have them in stock, locally. They would have to order them out.
The other ones were in Hawaii, not sure how much shipping from there would be

 

Most welders I know with rigs have 4x4. To get them to jobs sites not on paved roads. He might be better off with a full size truck. Hence why most of them are diesel rigs. But a v6 would be a better option than a 4

 

With a DB lift

 

Lol i would regear it with the extra weight

 

You think I would have to swap coils for the extra weight up front?

 

Texas T glad to see another member in here, welcome! I missed a lot of the lift talk but I thought i'd toss my .02 cents in here, 1000 is definitely enough for a good lift and you are on your way to saving money already with those 5160's on the rear. They are longer than stock already; I think around 16" collapsed and 27.4" extended which is plenty of breathing room for 1" of lift in the back. As for a good rear lift, the progressive from Wheelers off-road are great, they don't make for a harsh ride, give a hair over 1" of lift once they are settled and they give you a little more payload capacity.
For the front I would suggest bilstein 5100 series height adjustable shocks with Old Man Emu 884, 885 or 886 coils. 884 is for a stock truck to get 3”, go with 885 if you plan for skids or a hidden winch one day and still want 3” and go with 886 if you plan for a plate bumper in the future and still want a full 3”. People will tell you that pairing the 5100 shocks and the OME coil springs is a bad idea, most of the time it’s because they have just read that in a post somewhere on, but I can tell you from my experience that OME coils on the 5100 shocks work fantastic, I’ve had my setup on for 75k miles and they have handled everything I have thrown at them. Plus if you look on here you will find a bunch of people running the same setup with no issue. As for the UCA, I'd highly suggest swinging for an aftermarket set, they are pricey but totally worth it with the added articulation you gain as well as having more room to align the front end correctly.

All of this can be ordered from Wheelers off-road
Progressive AAL – $160
Front shocks – $170
OME 885 coils - $168
OME Front lift enhance kit – 30.50 (these get you the 3” of lift you want without sacrificing performance)
Light Racing UCA – $410 (good idea but not required)
Total (shipping not included) = $937.65
Install price = Pizza, beer

Sorry for the long post but this is a bunch of info I gathered when doing my life and figured it might help. Now this is all just my opinion so take it as you will, just here to help

 

Lots of beer lol

 

Hah yeah, I did that whole install in about 10 hours by myself and could have eaten a crapload of pizza, it was like installing Devin's sliders where the first side took 3 hours, the second side took 1
