That thing came out sweet!
Wow!!
Looks awesome man. I think that this is the best line to take for lining an 80. I really want to do mine this spring. I am going to see how much linex wants for the job.
Here in SA it was about $1100 of memory serves me correctly
Man that truck is sweet!! I wanna Line X mine so badly... gonna de-flare it too the more I see without em the more I wanna do it.
It's either de flare on your own terms or wait for Mother Nature to do it on hers. Bobby was actually there the day I lost my first flare(s), so we are bonded together for life.
What rate springs are you running?
No clue on the exact spring rate, haven't examined the rear springs for part#'s since I got it month or two ago. I know they're the Slee 4" lift springs but that's about it. Got a little saggy butt going on in the pic's. Now with more room for tire stuffage, I'll be messing with the rear bumpstops and replacing the tired OME's with some 2.5" Radflos. May swap springs as well... I could always mess with the preload on the front coilovers to level it out...but I'm lazy like that right now.
Sorry hah, I was asking about the fronts. On your 14" coilovers. I assume they're 2.0s. Just curious what spring rates you're running.
Thanks man.
We are using a 200/350 spring. There two ways to get the truck lower. 1: use a softer spring or 2: use a triple rate system. I am not a fan of the later. There is a certain amount of spring rate needed and going softer has means more body roll. Not much and you can put a sway bar on if needed.
2.0s and per 4WU:
Oh Awesome, just what I was after, thanks man! Perfect!
edit: I am a bit confused now though. What I'm calculating that I need is a about a 130#/in spring rate. Which is like somewhere around 525 total or like a 225/300, and I've got a cummins and 5/16 of plate on the frame.
That's calculating using my current springs which are like 850 total and RIDICULOUS.
DO IT!!!!!I gotta stop following this thread or I'm gonna be buying an 80 real soon!
Looks great man! Those wheel wells look so cavernous now that it's all trimmed up.
Cougar buttes is a disappointment compared to the hammers. I know you probably don't want to trash your rig but you should have no problem on lower big Johnson, upper big Johnson, boulderdash, tackhammer, or clawhammer. If those leave you wanting more, run sledgehammer. It's not horribly tight and I made it through with no damage - just had to get out a lot and lookThanks haha but you know the thing about cougar buttes, always works the suspension to the max. I freakin rubbed on the bumper with the same bumps as before, just smashed the rubber apparently.
