Basically cut out two holes with a holesaw, connect them using a cutoff wheel, the bezel sandwiches the hood with another bezel underneath. The video below is pretty much exactly how I did my install.

Right on. I’m in Trabuco

Awesome thanks! I’m still in the process of fabricating a new shock hoop to mount bypasses and remount the coil over, once I’m finished and double check specs, I will definitely send a message. Thanks!

I was planning on ordering King 2.5x8, 3tube from JD fab as they order them from King with the specs that work with my JD +4 kit, welded lower eyelet, hose length and valving they say works for that kit

It’s a king 2.5 Current valving

Right on thanks for the chart! Yeah I’m sticking with 600 until the bypasses go on, just trying to get a feel what new spring rate I want to try first when the time comes. I’m thinking I will try the 500 first, as they will fit with my travel/ bump situation , spend some time messing with the...

Yeah I’ve heard that school of thought from a few people so I’ve been wanting to just try lighter weight springs to see how they feell and how the truck responds. Right now it’s just a single coil over but will also be adding bypasses soon so that will change some things as well since right now...

5.25” but really 4.5” including rubber bumper/perch

2.75” would be the spring length at ride height subtracted from spring length at droop

Awesome sounds good. Thanks!

Looks like when I followed the measurements and math these are the numbers I got: Coil overs: 2.5”x8” Spring rate- 600 Free length- 18” Ride height spring length-14.25 Droop spring length- 17” Droop- 2.75” Preload- 1” Based on these it looks like I could drop down to 550 rate? Been...

Then went to 35” tires. Which required some sheet metal work to the inner fenders to get them to clear at full bump lock to lock. Ended up installing king 2.0 hydro bumps on the front . Then shortening them to 1” later on, also switched to a 18”x600 spring from the 16”x650 I had before. Coil...

At the beginning of 2021, decided to finally get the front end figured out, put the truck in the garage for a few days to install JD Fab +4 long travel, lower pivots, steering double shear/Heim, upper arm gussets, spindle gussets, new limit straps, 934 axle kit and aluminum skid plates.

After a while the rear leaf springs were tired and feeling the need for more travel and better ride quality, went ahead installed DMZ spring under kit, King 2.5x16 3 tube bypass, King 2.0 hydro bumps. McNeill rear fiberglass, boxed the frame, Mazulla rear bumper

After a while the snowball started forming and felt the need for more travel, bigger tires and so on. Got a good deal on a Baja Kits +2 kit. Installed that along with Deaver 3leaf aal, superbumps front/rear. Method 701 and 33” Nitto Ridge Grapplers And of course I didn’t like the tire...
