UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Slow thursday and you dropped a unique build in front of us. What did you want us to do?

 

Haha I can’t complain if all I gotta do is a few tweaks the expensive parts are done

 

Did you purchase this from a dealer?

 

Yes it’s got a a lot of good parts that’s why I was trying to figure out who owned it

 

What dealer? I feel like they may have up charged you on the price of this vehicle since it has "kings" and some work done to it. The work to the rear end makes me question the dealer and the previous owner or fabricators mindset.

The rear suspension does not need a sway bar. This leads me to think the spring rate is too soft or the shackle length is wrong which would give the vehicle more body roll.

If you got the truck for a decent price for the mileage/ year, the rear end would not take much to get right. It is ultimately up to you however. If the truck handles fine, great. If not, we can point you in the right direction on how it should be fixed.

 

That's pretty dang good.

 

Here is the front

 

That is not bad. Guess you didn't get swindled. For your reference, this is what alot of users do for beefer shackles and hangers.

In some of the BAMF pics, it looks like you may have this rear hanger setup? I am not sure who makes it, but it is not BAMF.

 

Those look pretty close to the ones I have

 

Only thing I could think is maybe the previous owner had a roof top tent to make it top heavy

Thanks for the pics. Do you have a lot of weight in the bed?? It looks like you have no up travel.

 

There is nothing in the bed the rear tire will fully stiff in the fender

 

Doesn’t Hammer Hanger make a mod like that? It doesn’t look exactly the same but similar.

I’ve thought about doing the hangers and the cross tube mod.

Interesting. From your supplied picture it looks like the spring has no arch in it and that it is riding on the rubber bump stop. Or is that an airbag??
