Slee 4" heavies and 37" Iroks

[alkaline747trio]

Do you have any bumpstop extensions?

 

[GXO]

yes, front and rear...those go when I do the other project. For now they are the same as when I had 6"

 

[alkaline747trio]

You never had any rub on the 6" though, did you?

 

[GXO]

Minimal. I had some slight (polish the frame) in the rear.

To be honest, I don't care if I rub...if it does, it either makes room or I will cut till it does.

 

[TiredIronGRB]

If your tires don't rub you can run bigger ones

 

[GXO]

I can't afford bigger!

 

[Wrench]

Thanks Dan. Looks awesome. Should perform better. And you didn't lose any ground clearance.

I have to commend you on posting this. Most wouldn't openly say they went over board with a mod. The idea that more is better is pretty much universal when mods are mentioned. to you for openly posting this and helping others on deciding a lift.

"Latest gen Slee front arms" thought these weren't needed for the 4" Slee lift?

I think they are left from when he was running 6" slees

 

[GXO]

Correct. They were there, so they stay. All is well, and handling is better than with 6".

Landtank. Thanks. I did indeed overboard a bit with the 6" heavies. They are meant for a heavy setup, and I wasn't there! Oh well, live and learn

Dan, are you going to stay with the Slee arms and the 4" lift or yank them off and use the caster plates and OEM arms? These are just questions to help me decide what I want to do to mine later...

 

[All Four]

Looks Good

I think that having great big tires stuffed under a LC makes it look mean. And I like it that way.

 

[GXO]

I am leaving the slee arms...seems to handle fine for me.

ditto that and it looks cool, but needs a wax job.

Why are there dent on the roof?

You can never have too much caster

Do you get any drive line vibes with the 4" springs and newer Slee arms?

My question as well. Please provide driving experiences. Those Slee arms are works of art. The 4 inch lift is nearly perfect.

I would like a bit more caster! Your truck looks great-I surprised the 37s fit so well.

I'm running those arms right now... they are beautiful to say the least... oh and heavy. I've been contemplating going with the 4 inch springs but with the heavy springs in the rear.

 

[Wrench]

You wheel it yet?

 

[Nay]

Thx. Now to get someone to build me a 3-link for the front end

Save your coin and get a crawler box. Flex isn't the 80's issue, the wheelbase is long enough that it can handle major obtacles without a need for outrageous front end flex.

I like the move to lower - the supsension should work better with OME L shocks as it will be better balanced, and total travel is unchanged. Looks much better, too - you appear to have about 5" of lift and the 37's are perfectly centered in the wheel well visually.

Post your wheeling feedback, you did give up 2" of clearance and damn knows it matters with these pigs
