Turok....Louisiana Dinosaur Slayer Dad Rig Build

Will do man. I am trying to decide on 5100s or nitrocharger sports right now. I definitely want run 887s and Dakars with 255 85r16. How are your CV angles with the 887s? Did you need to do the "boot" mod?

 

I like the 887s a lot. The CV angles are fine. I don't have any boot wear at all and i have about 20k with my current lift. If i ever win the lottery i would like to do long travel front, 35's, and regear...... one day maybe!

 

Don't need LT for 35's

 

35's is just going to be a huge upgrade because so many things are going to have to change at once. Wheels, tires, gears (i know i dont have to but i will), cut fenders, hammer shit, pinch weld, CMC, etc..... Just a big jump and honestly my 33's have gotten me everywhere i need to go.

 

My 33's did also but....

 

But.... MERIKA!!!

 

First off, your truck is sweet. So, the canopy. Do you get much use of the windoors after the lift? It's a pricey option so I'm trying to decide. Next, suspension. I got 885's, should have gotten 887's. I saw that you were thinking about adding a spacer. I am debating this vs. just pulling the struts apart and setting the 5100's to .85. Thoughts? I only netted about 1-3/4" from my 885's and I have already ordered St maxx in 255/80/17.

 

Also, are those just steps or sliders?

 

Thanks dude!! My wife and i and our lab really enjoy the truck as it makes traveling a lot easier.

Im a pretty tall dude and i use my windoors probably daily. I also have a platform built in the bed that raised the floor level so it not like i have to reach all the way down to the floor of the bed. I would HIGHLY recommend it as would many people here.

The front coils depend on what you are running on the back end and how much weight you anticipate putting on the front. I have about 4" of lift in the rear with the dakar springs and the shackles flipped so need a little more lift in the front. I got about 2" of lift in the front with the hybrid bumper i have and the 887s. I don't think that the bilsteins are designed to be moved up if you have aftermarket coils. Im really not sure on that as i always ran mine at 0.

You are going to love those tires dude. I don't think you will have any rubbing issues if thats what you are asking. You will prob have to remove your front mud flaps if you still have them though. I am very happy with mine.

I have bolt on sliders from BAMF

 

Thanks for your input. I want to make it as user friendly as possible.(without going crazy) I see so many trucks on here with all the most expensive parts, but they don't do anything except look good. I guess I will throw a half inch spacer up top and call it good. Let's see that trailer finished!

 

I am pretty short and I can still reach down into the bed just fine with my windoors. Definitely worth it.

 

I think I'm sold on them. I was thinking of fabing up some skinny trays to mount over wheel wells.

 

I have had this same idea for quite awhile, just haven't gotten around to doing it. Something that bolted to the utility track system but rested on the wheel well with a rubber foot on the bottom to stop rattling would be perfect.

 

Exactly

 

You could integrate it into a drawer organizer for the bed...

 

This thread has been dead. Washed, clay barred, and waxed today. It was in pretty bad shape. I don't think it looked this good when I bought it!

 

Now go get it dirty.

 

That's the plan!

 

Yeah it doesn't look right.
