Slartibartfast Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 You're gonna have to take your fence down to get that out of there! Holy crap that thing is wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's unlikely to rollover, given how tall it is! Looking good. How much up travel are you planning on? Looks like a bit of guard chopping might be in order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much up travel are you planning on? Looks like a bit of guard chopping might be in order If I recall my measurements, the distance from mount to mount for the air shocks is around 30". The 16" air shocks I bought are 23" compressed and 39 extended. In theory that means 7 up and 9" down. The real question is will the suspension really cycle that much.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still needs a few things done here and there. Driveshafts, rear sway bar, high steer, ABS.. and probably a few little things i'm missing. BUT, getting closer.

johann_peralta Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Added lights at a legal height. The stock ones are around 63" in the center and the state wants <54". Also got the high steer in. Still waiting on the drop pitman to come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johann_peralta Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Did my research and found a bigger master that I'm going to swap in. Stock uses a 1" bore with M10x1.00 front and rear. Bigger one is a 1.25 bore with M10x1.00 rear and M12x1.00 front. the M12X1.00 to M10x1.00 adapter ran like $2.80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
