So much like the title says is what I am looking for. I have searched and found very little. I want to be able to travel at 45-50 mph across the desert in my 80. More specifically, I NEED to be able to travel 45-50 mph in my 80 at king of the hammers on the desert loop sections.
I am the crew chief of the #49 Mistress Racing TTB equipped 4400 class race car and really need to be able to keep a reasonable rate of speed in order to not be even further behind the race car than I already am during pre running. I'm not lookin to build a race truck, or even an all out pre run truck. I am looking to put something together that is still able to daily drive, and here is the big one... Something that still fits in the garage... Yup, must be no taller than 7' max.
Currently the truck has the 50mm lift with shocks from iron man, and on the street it's great, wheeling it isn't bad at all and I don't really have any complaints other than perhaps the shocks are a bit on the firm side. I have sliders, a front bumper and winch, no roof rack, no boxes in the back, no giant swing out bumpers. A fullsize spare and 20lb co2 will be located inside the rear area where the 3rd row seats go.
I know someone has done what I'm looking to do, just curious the best step forward. I have a (in my opinion) smaller budget of around 1k that I would be willing to spend before February. But I don't want to have to spend twice. By that I mean I don't want to buy some shocks now, then next year switch to coil overs and or bypass shocks and end up tossing what I have.
