Brian S and his 5 inch lift....

If you saw the post on LRF you will know that Brian is going to send his rig sky high.... hopefully he will grace us with details!!?!??!?!?

Yup I'm just waiting for the springs to come in. Already put RTE trailing arms and TF crancked radius arms under it. My FOX shocks come in (havent seen them yet been on the road) and if I make it home this weekend Randy has a set of beadlocks for me I'm sure I'll be posting plenty of pics as soon as its done.

what fox shocks did you order? you fuckers and your beadlocks on your d1's... not fair.

I went with 2.0 emolsion with 14" travel. The shocks under it now are 8" if that tells you anything how itll flex.

post pics of that lift. did you get that panel you needed from Randy?

Well all in all it wasnt to bad to do no major problems (other then falling off the lift) just have a few more things to do yet, really long brake hoses and getting my rear pinion angle set. But heres some pics.

New springs and front RTE shock mounts


X-Engineering ball joints mated to RTE arms (fucking awesome!!)


X-Engineering springs (no more cones!!!!)


Heres with just the rear done (72 nova wannabe lol)


Front end close up with mounts shocks an springs


And here the O SHIT it fell off the lift pics



And heres my brake hoses acting as limiting straps lol



Truck sits level now and drives great. Havent had it off road yet to see what itll do and havent decided on tires yet either (either Maxxis or PitBulls in the 35x13.50 range)

And a pic of it sitting level



No the lift isnt holding it up either

HOLY SHIT. that is mental!!! forget trimming more of the back door you might as well just elimate it! LOL. you are one crazy bastard. you coming out to the pine barrens apr 2 & 3? we should plan a 2 day rausch creek trip for early June.

Yeah count me in for the pines trip as long as my brake hoses come in........Gotta get some kewl pics of it now and a fender

That's INSANE ...but I LIKE it....alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I definitely would love to see pics of it in action

yeah i wanna get some pics of that thing in action next weekend. i saw you PM that guy on Dweb about the bumper is that for your truck? or the one you pickin up for your lady? im waiting for my angle grinder to come in so i can get the ARB cleaned up. i want to get it on for this weekend.

I think im going to put that on this truck untill I can afford an RTE for it then I'll sell it or put it on hers. I just dont care for the full brush gard on the ARB's myself. Hopefully I can pick it up tomorow or tuesday. I am just having one hell of a time getting brake hoses for it so I might have to rig up some limit straps so I dont rip them off.

did you call Rovertym? they can cut you any length you need. not sure what the cost is.

Yeah I tried Rovertym but its a 3 week wait so im trying localy. Do I remeber seeing somr where that you have a winch tray for sale?????

Any hydraulic shop should be able to make a set up for you.

Well its been a while but I finally had a chance to check everything out, I am happy with the rear setup but the front has some issues yet (mostly steering binding some). Heres my poser pic:


And a close up of the X-Engineering setup:


And the 96 thats been taking all my free time lately:

LOL no wonder you needed longer brake lines!!! what tires are you going to put on there now?

Isnt 245/75 30 inches tall? maybe you mean 345/75 ;-) which are like what 36? You're going into the unknown with the sizes. I bet you could fit 37/38's with the same width. Time to break out the measuring tape!

First search brought me to this RRC with 37's

The lower part of his truck is rhino lined too. hmm..

Not sure about the width but I say go big!!

that truck is awesome! you need that width man, you are that high in the air you need that width for stability. im not going any bigger with my truck. it's staying where it's at unless i come across a wad of cash somewhere. i would rather import a 110 or a forward control and get that thing all jacked up i had some money saved.

Lol no I was just being a smart ass. Im gonna go with 35x14.50 in the PitBull Bias Rocker flavor thatll put my gearing where it should be and I dont think Corie could get in the truck if I went with anything taller, honestly its a pain for me getting in and out of it now. I could fit and run 37s if I got some different bumpstops but 35s will be more then enough untill I get bored and make it a full out off road truck.

Yeah there pretty mutch for the cool factor But honestly it sure beats using cones. I want to put a set on the front to once I get the extra cash.

It is cool man looks like the lower springs help a lot with articulation too since they are smaller and flex sidways
