Dude! I spotted one of those turtles while jamming up to the rock pile from the lakebed. I thought it was just a huge rock in the two track until we got closer and realized it was moving. With a bunch of other trucks following us i carefully picked the heavy guy up and carried him 50 ft off...

Just for simplicity sake i would buy a set of bolt on beam pivots from BTF or Giant, or whomever else makes them. Itll save a good chunk of time and get you a good head start on setting the rest of the suspension up. Ideally the beam pivots are a few inches higher than hub centerline, and the...

Off road racing is a hobby across the board and not a career path like nascar, F1, top fuel (although dying off slowly) and others. It’s a hobby and a passion project, and to get the most out of it figure out the most inexpensive form of racing that fits your budget. Don’t forget to factor in...

If you ever need shims hit me up! I can build you some stacks of recommend for your setup too vs just straight valving stacks from king

New Year Metal Finishing off the 55 and E Dyer Rd. 2815 S Halladay St Santa Ana, CA 92705 United States They do polishing, powdercoat, wheel repair, lug pattern changes, etc. I’ve had them repair folded up beadlocks, polish, and various other jobs. They do an amazing job every time

Makes sense! You can help negate the diving with springs and such but yeah for your application that makes sense for sure. Just bring me the shocks when it’s closer to being done and I’ll set it up so it’s squishy at any speed 🫶🏼 haha. This thing is going to be really cool I’ll be watching it...

What is the reasoning for adding anti dive into the setup? I understand the benefits of it on a road/street application but I have seen a number of times where anti dive causes harshness in braking bumps and/or ripped upper mounts from the from due to the additional loads placed on the upper...

PRP and crow both offer pull up belts, and i believe PRP also offers a built in ratchet on the belt too so you can really snug yourself down. I’m curious how those cam locks will do, my first truck had Sparco cam locks and a few times i would have a belt pop out of the cam center. I don’t know...

Wax on wax off.. haha What are you wanting to achieve with the shocks? I can always remove and reinstall them for you, but then also you have to bring the truck here and drop it off and return later that evening or following day and we aren’t exactly neighbors, but depending on what you want...

Which is mega surprising since i remember us going full send down the big line on main in this thing, and never lifting down sand highway for the whole thing 😂 This truck is absolutely a sleeper for how well it works for such a “simple” build. I’m stoked to see this thing all freshened up again...

Per the dudes at Deaver; rangers broncos f-150's etc leaf springs are designed with less arc in them since they have to go negative in order to bump the axle against the frame. There are hundreds if not thousands of those trucks running around with the stock frame bumps and bolt on deavers with...

Bump to the frame! you wont ever regret gaining up travel, no matter how mild the build is up travel is key. ESPECIALLY for the rear. Since you mentioned bronco, those TTB/I beam trucks are cake to get tons of up travel in the front at ride height and the rear is trickier so get as much as you...

Consult your leaf spring MFG'r to confirm but from speaking with Deaver about Rangers, F-150's, and other trucks where the leafs go negative to get the axle to touch the frame, you are fine to fully bump the truck to the frame and the leafs are designed to handle that. That is staying within the...

My nitrogen tank lasts me a solid 6+ months in the garage using it on shocks and occasionally tools and tires, I would assume an average joe would get likely a year of use out of it easily with filling tires, shocks, and maybe running an impact. (Yeah yeah, Milwaukee makes gangster M18 impacts...

I thought i replied the other day but im guessing i ran out of service 😂 Ive never really been a fan of the small portsble Compressors because they are more of a one trick pony. Sure they will fill a tire or air mattress but that’s about the extent of it unless you mount an air tank. I carry...
