now eventually by the end of summer/fall i need new tires. i am going to preferably buy 33s in the falcon wildpeaks we all love. i’ve been trying to find info on the width of the stock se wheels that i have and i keep getting info saying they’re 7” wide but fine to mount that 285/75r16 on them while others say they’re 8” and therefor fine to use. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe i can get away with 2” wheel spacers and my original wheels bc i like them and they need to be painted black soon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i love the fact our motors can handle a 33” tire like it’s nothing it’s great [emoji16] that’s the size i also wanted to go to when i purchase tires, the 285/75/16, i have the 2.5/2” spacers from sf, that’s the lift you still had when you first put them on right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

what are the tire sizes you’ve had on your rig so far? do you think you’ll get rid of fender flares and rear bumper cover to fit bigger again at some point or are you gonna stick with size you have now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

you’re right! i thought it looked out of place there, i gotta get under with a flash light today after work and see if i can zip that bad boy back in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

from about a week ago we had nice weather and i wanted to start testing how i liked black stripes where the fender flares and bumper covers were. decided that i’ll use the entire line of where the fenders were and the entire area the bumper covered gets paint too. same on the front and by then i’ll have pvc pipe to make coolant and wiper fluid containers in the engine bay. that’s if i deem they stick out too far when the front cover comes off, which i’m pretty sure they will. if they don’t they’re turning black as well as the rocker panels of course. some areas of future derusting when it’s actually warm again i took the bumper off to clean up on same nice day as well because it wasn’t looking good. it didn’t end up back on the truck yet but truck does look cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

that’s honestly good to hear. i’ve been thinking the noise had to mean something was wrong everything’s still tight. i do i need a good cleaning. its safe to spray paint that area after a good wire brushing of rust away, right? i start work again this week, so at least money comes in soon! first things i’m doing is going to good car wash then ordering manual hubs and going to lowe’s to get metal for that missing link.

i suppose i should really say the noise while that shock flexes combined with the spring looking off kilter like that made me nervous. it is probably fine but just doesn’t seem right because it still handles fine i still barely nose dive just as before i lifted it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

driver side (the spring in question) passenger side no noise and spring end seated where it should Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

okay, mine is backing out of that rubber isolater on the bottom and it’s causing the spring to have been twisted back when the pressure was put back on it. i’m gonna try putting it in the air and moving it around by hand but i’m probably going to need to get a compressor to be able to fix its position. i’ll post pictures in a little bit for visuals so it makes more sense Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
do you mean it was off the seat hanging off the edge or just moved backwards away from being fully seated? mina the second, should i still try hammering her back in? this is good news because if i think about it it started after my alignment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

alright so there’s been an odd rubbing or squeaking noise coming from my front left. i haven’t gotten to take a good look at it with the tire off but i feel like the spring is twisted away from the bottom perch and that’s causing some weird sounds while stopping and going. usually whenever the strut moves any ideas on if it could be other things before i go rent another spring compressor ?

from what i’ve read and been told so far you can even just use the one inch spacer just not any bigger Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
that tire size looks good what’s your lift and what size are they and what not? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

true but the control arms not pulling away is probably helpful to some extent for the cvs. either way just gotta be careful until i either do a sas or get coils Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
-
just something to add! the “missing link” also helps those cvs with the spacers. i feel like as it stiffens the front it adds little more resistance to over flexing the front since you’re connecting independent suspensions?? feel free to tell me i’m wrong here though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Land Rover rear lift spring install

so do we think that shock would be good for at least 3” of rear lift, as in there too big for two inches of lift? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

did you have to grind the brake calipers down on the front to fit those 15” wheels? others have had to do that but had different year rigs than you and i. they also fit at first for some but then when they got new brakepads the calipers rubes the wheels. also IT LOOKS SO GOOOOOOOD love the black honey comb grill. i’m also going to be painting that bottom rocker panel black but i was thinking of maybe even as high up as the first lower body line on the doors Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
