I wish I knew. I did all these hard trails and no damage other than a few more scrapes on the diffs and LCAs. I was on a chill part of Italian Creek in the shade and my eyes/mind just plain didn't register a massive tree stump sticking out on the...
37s are on.
How? Cut, beat, cut, weld, repeat….
@Zjohnsonua did most the heavy lifting on this phase.
Still plan to go back in a couple of months and dial in the AHC with new spacers and raise the rear lower shock mounts. I also still have a...
Took a little drive up north to Banff for a relaxing week. I think I hit the point where the LX is finally broken in.
In the first three days we visited Kootenai, Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Glacier (the Canadian one and not Waterton) National Parks
Here’s me early on in the cutting on RW, 1.25” spacer, tundra arms, but no body lift yet. I run billet OTRE though which require the spacer. I probably went a little aggressive but I didn’t rub going downhill
I spent last weekend prepping the front end to accept some 37's over the winter. Followed the amazingly detailed post by @TeCKis300. Sourced an Eastwood roller from Marketplace. I had to grind two stud holes to fit the 5x150 pattern and used a...
I think the E&E 13mm front spacer and the E&E rear lower shock relocation bracket are getting conflated here.
FRONT: just get the E&E 13mm spacer, that's the only part needed for the front suspension. This is the simplest product that maximizes...
I did the NST 1.5” body lift first and will be adding E&E’s parts front and rear, and going to try to stuff 37’s with minimal trimming to start all without touching the ahc sensors. But we’ll see what happens. Finding the perfect wheel offset...
The bouncy ride after sensor lift is a classic symptom of worn accumulators. You're right that accumulators should be in your future. It'll be the best money spent and you'll be surprised how great the ride is after.
E&E Off Road 13mm front...
Oh gotcha...I just reread everything again and still thought everyone was moving the aluminum up and was still confused about trimming the foam lol. Thanks for the repeated clarification for my slow brain lol. I'll look at it and see if moving up...
At the front, no one has raised the entire aluminum crash bar, that I know of. We have all just moved the small L shaped brackets that hold the bottom of the bumper on (upwards the amount of the body lift). That’s why we cut the foam to...
I need to re-read some of the stuff about the rear bumper...I'm halfway tempted to just cut off the rear crossmember and weld in a new one 1.5" higher up...
Chris
You’re gonna definitely end up trimming the bumper underneath - especially around the tow hitch. And don’t forget to get some starboard or other material to fill the bumper gap
Not much else to report...tonight I bought some jacks to place under the pinch welds, so I'll use the lift to raise the whole truck frame, then place the jacks under the pinch welds, then lower the lift slightly to create the 2" gap to slide the...
Hey guys,
I've started tearing down my 2013 LX 570 to install the 1.5" from Micah. So far no issues. I sprayed all the body mount bolts from the top and bottom to start, then came back the next afternoon and all of them came right out no...
Backorders should be shipped the week of Aug 25th.. and i will have stock on hand.
Also started carrying some other brands, such as Hest, Ignik, Goose gear, Victron Energy, Vision X, and Proeagle jacks and some other brands coming soon..
I am...
Only other thing I could think of is if the head or large washer of the body mount bolt is sitting flat on the body, and not up somehow on the tabs of the sheet metal of the body that are supposed to prevent it from spinning. That seems like a...
