How's the cutoff?

 

They gonna burn

happens every time

 

Yes, those are them sir

 

Very definitive.......and since the are a direct replacement for a regular bulb, they can be aimed just like a regular bulb.

 

So when are you caging the daily?

 

What's your suggestion? Remove LCAs? We would have to mark it out first, lol.

 

If you just did them It shouldnt be bad. Are you woolwaxxed for this year?

 

Is that for before or after 37s?

Mark them and remove. It’ll give Jack more room and you won’t have to worry about burning up the bushings.

 

Don't temp me with a good time

Before, less tubbing after

 

Oh dude it's only ("only") 600?

I mean hell....i was talking at AOAA, everything is coming due at once - front and rear, i was thinking to 3 link the rear since it won't be THAT much more than even stock rebuilding. Now I see this, too.....

 

Nope, not yet, less chance of catching fire for now.

 

Robs gonna be the first of us all to start lopping off factory bracketry hahaha

 

I'm already thinking about getting a welder to learn it, and be able to do my own serious stuff, mainly one of them Beatles on a razor chassis.

anyone else look at this? He’s doing a dam good job imo.
I think 3 link would be way easier for us but it gets the wheels turning for sure.

@Brownmatthall ^^^

 

4 link you're looking at a fuel cell at minimum, and all the fun that comes with that...but that rear axle works so well. Really emphasizes how shit the front end of these trucks are, even with LT lol

 

Do it, best decision I ever made. I think my truck will stay fairly mild. 35s and a crawling focused flatbed. Still need truck for truck things. Going to get an older and shitter vehicle to really beat on

 

His axle truss is porn. Let me find it

 

NSFW Warning

 

Hey, thanks John!

So the fuel cell was actually pretty simple. I was surprised by it. I reused the stock pump/sender to keep fuel level without any other parts or modification needed. You can keep all of the evap system if you live in an inspection state or just want to avoid the dash light. I don't for both of those, so I just ditched the evap system completely, meaning it's two fuel lines, a breather line, and extended the stock 3 wire harness.

As for the front LT, yes, ~12 inches of travel is about the best you'll get with factory mounting locations and without sacrificing elsewhere. Of course it's no match for 22 inches of rear travel while crawling, but it should balance out pretty well for the fast stuff.

I was thrown off by the lack of front flex, but immediately reassured by multiple people that it'll be a completely different setup once it's broken in. Makes sense when I think about it. The lower uniballs alone are so stiff that with a 6" bolt through it I still couldn't rotate it by hand. Excited to see how it changes in the next few weeks/months.

SMKYTXN has my favorite flat bed(ish) setup. He used super heavy duty storage drawer setup as the base, which created a solid flat surface on top. It fit well with the stock axle width and frame rails.
