Welcome to Texas Folks

[fsbrain03]

I have some 5100's that I'm trying to get rid of, for the rear. Decided to go with a longer shock.

I'm sure you would Randy.

Yeah I'm going to school in Arlington now. I may try to go to A&M but still not sure.

Just make sure you get 4 of them, I gotta get some better front/rear shocks for the swap.

So someone tell me if my thinking is right on this one. I plan to get 285/75/16 KM2s when it's time to upgrade. My travel numbers should be less with those than with my current 265/75/16 BFG ATs right?

 

[balakay]

Nevermind. I had myself confused...

Um, no. Your current travel numbers should stay the same, tire doesn't effect wheel travel. However you may need to trim some in order to avoid getting the tires into your fenders.

I also have a spacer lift in the front. I do wish that I would have saved, and gone full out, but it has served it's purpose. Probably next year, I'll remove the spacer setup, and replace with another setup.

X2......I am saving up to get coilovers right after I get the Dakars. The spacer lift hasn't been a problem just the lack of a locker...

Its Thursday and spacer lifts still blow donkey balls.

I saw that Randy was pushing for the banhamer in MOT's thread last night.. props to you good man!

I agree....But they get the job done somewhat..., the coilovers are on the way man right after the Dakars,,,

LOL... just fucking with everyone. What coilovers are you looking at?

Now that I don't know...suggestions? was thinking of just getting the Toytec ones......

I'd spend a little more and get something adjustable and rebuildable. Icon/Fox or King... can't go wrong with any of those. IMO those Toytec ones, while nice, are simply a $500 adjuster for a set of $200 shocks (Billy 5100's). But I also think that the OME coil/shock setup is the best bang for the buck out there. I handles awesome offroad and on... its designed for our trucks.. its not the prettiest or cheapest.. and its not adjustable (which was a big reason I removed mine). But I think it worked damn near as good offroad as my Fox... and for a lot less $$.

Yeah I like the looks of the Icons etc. buy damn $$$$$$, I do want adjustable so OME is out, what do you think of Camburg?

Its along the same lines as the others above.. good stuff. IIRC they used a different adjuster nut then the others. But thats really a non-issue. Just get extended length and then get the uniball UCA and you should be set.

Thats the plan...I like them because I can get both of those items from them...plus they look kickass (will have to wrap them in a girley beach towel like Andy when I mount them)....

No girlie beach towel, please, they are gonna get dirty & possibly scratched anyways.

You know damn well I was Joking...I dont give a fuck about scratches or mud..you seen my truck latley?...

 

[AlienXtx]

On another note Rob, I'm about to run down to University drive and pick up my order, then I have to go back to Livingston but I will get with you and Andy for lunch tomorrow. You need to remind me to bring my spring compressor, it's at the house

Sounds good. I'll give you a reminder later today or this evening.
