I should’ve checked this thread before buying my parts. I wonder if I can use a dogs squeak toy for bump stops.

Running around plaster city ran into some old race course that I either needed portals or 37’s because I was dragging everywhere on 33” tires. Most 35’s barely measure much taller than my 255/85/16’s and wouldn’t stop it from hitting.

They make an extended head version that rocks.

Notch the frame relocate 2.5x 16 or even 14” shock outboard of the frame, spring under with some f67 or h70’s and for the front buy for your budget. Either kit should be good for the front and the shocks are going to be the budget killer. Market place you can probably find some used kits but I’m...

Even shit boxes are pricey now. I rolled my xj that did pretty good for a modest and cheap build pre 2021. Got it for 3k and swapped out my older xj’s good parts it had maybe $11k with some pretty decent parts. Picked up a 4wd 1st gen double cab for a cheap 11k with 287k miles some old ass 32’s...

Just followed you on instagram so I can message directly. So many questions on coilovers.

Now I guess I need to find a kit in my price range and a coilover that works with said kit that gives me the lift to match my rear h70’s to where I don’t look like I’m doing yard work or if I was in South Carolina. I’d be tempted to change the upper mount to run even a longer or just universal...

You should watch the Terra crew videos of his tacoma. It’s a thing of genius

I was looking at the mcm fab long travel kit since it says it can run a standard length 8” coil over and honestly the price for going long travel and adding new coil overs and a secondary shock it gets expensive real quick. I’d really like to find out a set up to remove the preload on my current...

And I really suck at welding but it’s all I can afford. Also it’s a little tough not being comfortable sitting under the truck.

For more up I chopped the rear of the frame after the shackle mount and welded in some 2x2 tube.

I was talked out of the f67’s and into h70’s. Running 33’s I’m happy with the h70’s and the ride height.

I know zero about shocks or tuning of shocks, I bought fox remote dsc reservoir 16x2.5 and I believe they said it’s a 50/70 valving which I know nothing about. I had mine at around the 53.5-54” range so I’m moving it forward now which hopefully lowers it a little also. My build is more of the...

So what is your number from center to center if not the magic number, mine was set at 53.5” give or take so I plan on moving it forward 1”. I’m not sure of the valving but the guy I purchased them from said it should be pretty good for my set up also having the adjusters could help it when I...

Sorry for the slight hi Jack. Started a side convo to not interrupt build thread.
