Tyler Lacasse's Supercharged 3RZ Dual Cased Fully Locked Long Travel Crawler Build

Yea you may be right.
I'm not concerned with the CV's being happy since I have manual hubs.

If I decide to go to 700's I'll just send my CO's into accutune to have them swapped and revalved for the 700's so that I get the best possible ride with the increased spring rate. They are valved rn for the OEM 600lb coils that came on them. I'm just worried that it will still be a bit too harsh if I go through with all of that. Would hate to get them back and then wanna swap back to 650's.

 

@Snowy is spot on for our group. We are normally .5 to 2" of lift to keep cv axles happy. If you aren't worried about axles with the locking hubs I'd say shoot for 700 because they will valve the shocks for them when they swap out and you can always adjust preload for your height if it's to high. Accutane will also send a paper for you to take measurements and they can figure out your desired ride height.

 

Gotcha. Yea I've been talking with accutune in another thread and they've been clarifying how I should be measuring preload and the other spring measurements at ride height.
After re-meausing the preload and seeing how close I am to coil bind at my current setup, I'll decide if I need to go to 700's if it's that close to bind.

 

You should watch some videos on shock tuning and rebuilding. It's easy compared to a lot of the stuff you've done on your truck.

 

I have a free revalve and discount on a rebuild with accutune that I'm going to use first, but I'll probably teach myself how to do it on the rebuild after that.

 

I told Accutune my front axle weighs 2500lbs and they sent me 600s. I don't understand why they would recommend 700s for you only being 100lbs heavier than what they sent me. I'm able to achieve more than enough lift.

 

Ok wtf. Yea that doesn't add up...
From the pictures in build, it looks like you got plenty of lift from them with those 600's too. Got a hub to fender measurement?

@AccuTune Offroad any input?
I know that every truck is different, but 100lb difference in front weight shouldn't yield that much of a difference in needed coils.

 

I'll try and remember when I get home. Keep in mind I do have a 1" body lift so that may look like I have more lift than what I do. I think when I measured last it was 23.25" but don't quote me.

 

We have provided you with a tremendous amount of support about your specific suspension setup. I would just be repeating myself at this point. Again, we are referencing your suspension and specific measurements from your truck. Measurements don't lie. Shocks/springs/CVs/TREs all have their limitations and thats what we base our suggestions off of. Sounds like @Reh5108 has a body lift, so again, very different truck.

 

Ah shoot nevermind. Totally forgot you have a body lift.

Yea I didn't catch that he has a body lift so definitely totally different. My b

 

Just confirmed I'm at 23.5“. Subtract that and it'd be 22.5“ without the bl.

If anyone is interested in snow chains for 35x12.50 tires + tensioner.

Also have a used Magnaflow 18" 2-1/4 flow through muffler.
New 18" resonator from LCE.
Local pickup Pasadena area DM me an offer.

Just ordered snow chains for the 38s.

 

Hey Tyler, where are you sourcing your chains?

 

They're coming from etrailer. Jeep guy was asking what'd fit the same size I have, and those were specified to be compatible.

 

Lil update-

Odered the front range offroad transfer case bracket. A while back someone had mentioned the tcase mount vs the big heavy trail gear mount. With the ride height of my truck, I'm going to benifit a LOT more from the tcase mount as I've already snagged some stuff pretty good with my rock anchor that hangs down quite a bit. Not sure if I want to do an aluminum or steel flat belly yet. I'm concerned with weight. I know steel slides better over stuff, but I'm not sure how much better...

 

There we go.... No more worrying about running out of methanol the time! Such a relief from the cute little 1 gallon tank.

 

You guys think I should go another step colder? I'm one step colder from stock currently with IK22. This is about 1,500 miles on them roughly.

What are your thoughts?

 

Had the backside on last link. Backside clearly needs to be brought in three or so links and chains evened out, but for the sake of a test fit it looks like these will work just fine!

 

Why not make your own chain? It'll be cheaper and you can make all 4 for the price of buying 1 set... plus, I'm not a fan of those cam lock style. If the rubber adjuster comes loose, the cam lock can break loose and cause the chain to hit the body or other things around it.
