Hey guys,I worked here at 74Weld, and this is true. This is actually want I came here to ask you guys, just out of curiosity. How many of you would maintain KDSS and stock suspension, and for LX owners the AHC. Really just out of curiosity here...

Anyone ever bend an inner tie rod? Couldn’t find anything with a Google search. This is now the second bent Ironman trailing arm I’ve had in 2 months. Going back to my used, beaten, but straight oem trailing arms.

Skid plate movement. I have aluminum skids and the frame will flex slightly and they’ll bind and pop. Putting some rubber washers between them and the frame resolved it.

Also wanted to ask for some ideas from the group about another question I had asked of me last night from a customer that just had the 1.5” kit installed by a local shop and noticed this… “…only thing is I get a little feedback or vibration from...

The only place I’ve encountered it with a customer is from the 9th crossmember bolt that was very slightly making contact with the body, instead of hovering over it, as the factory bolt does. The simple solution for that is a small washer as a...

I’ve been bugging them too. Quinn told me this quarter for the 200 Series portal set.

Glad you figured it out. And kudos for continuing to push the platform!

Thanks! Narrows would simplify a couple things. Sway bar and upper UCA clearance. Still would need a body lift, body mount chop, and tucking of tupperwear and liners.

The more the merrier if we could make it happen! Ahhh, forgot it has a hurt motor :cry:

Just whatever the next size up from what you’re currently running (to help with motivation) 😉 Does my rig have to have a running motor to join or will Chad just tow me through 🤔

Agree. We need to plan a Moab or similar trip this fall to test and document. You know, for science. Paging @MTKID @XFACTR @J2HundyOutfitters I can bring my 80 series on 42's to the testing field.

Clearly all the good decisions are being made.

Awesome. Good start, I like where you are going. 👍 20 years ago we thought 52's would be the next big thing.

I’m going to need to raise the price on these kits a little bit but want to give everyone as much of a heads up as possible. So, everyone will have a little over 30 days before the prices go up by $50 per kit on 9/1/25. I am a couple weeks out...

Good times for sure! Thanks for the ticket!

This was fun guys. Thanks for the ticket.

Production update: I will be shipping current back orders on Monday the 21st - I am starting production on the next larger batch in parallel, since I only have a few more in this batch. I plan on doing larger batches from here on out.

There’s a Harrop on there too? I’ve seen the original TRD/Magnuson that keeps getting the priced dropped a little each week but it’s still not complete. I think that’s what keeps people questioning what else is needed and the cost to make it...

I'm a big fan of my head gaskets.

Motion ratio especially front axle. Meaning the tires are much much further outboard. I'd go so far as to suggest using OEM 200-series LC front springs. This can be calculated too. How much further out are the hub faces? Rear axle doesn't...

Yea wait until they find out I use Kirkland oil sometimes 🫣

Okay fast forward to a month later, I dropped my truck off at Torfab and they got to work on the cam tower reseals. The photos confirmed that this is not a DIY job, at least at my skill level: The while they where in there list includes a...

Catching up because a lot has happened in the last two months since my trip to Moab. I was due for an oil change the second I pulled in from my trip. I noticed the skids looked a little...grimey so I pulled them off and found this horror show...
