I've debated keeping it but that thing has been the biggest money pit of my life. And I kinda want a new boat, which is also a money pit, but less than the ZR1 has cost me lol

I feel ya on the boat. I finally upgraded boats this year, I had my previous one for 10 years before pulling the trigger.

Hey how hard is it to remove the chrome cap? Do you need to take the entire assembly off?

Real easy. Just have to pop off some clips above the glass and that will release the top. You get the bottom loose from the front side and it will break the middle clip.

The latest goods showed up today for the next go around. Just waiting on my PMF adjustable trac bar and 4 link brackets. Wheels should be here right at Christmas.

Have you ever had fuels before I like them but not sure how they are?

I sell a few sets here and there. The 40's for 26's balance out really well and ride nice. I will say their new A/T tire is really good, especially for the price.

I only use Nitto and Toyo for my dealer trucks though.

Ya I figure I'll just stick with Toyo then thanks

Nothing to be jealous of with this one. Just a basic 4 link setup with coils, I'll have some FOA 2.5 shocks for it and that's as fancy as this suspension will be for now. Hell im even powdercoating it all gloss black.

Still 40s on 26s.

I'd love that setup but I cancelled it out of my budget with this truck. Stupid responsibilities and investments

We have some down time today and tomorrow morning so I had the guys start on the lift.

Wheels are still a week or two out, but I have a few things to finialize lift wise I.E d/shaft, shock length and new brake lines so here we go.

It's on the ground. Those are the same 37's it's been on. Should have it wrapped up tomorrow. It looks small to me, but I'll wait until the 40's are on it before making any adjustments.

Looks frigging awesome. Did you lift the entire weight of truck with the lift pucks positioned on the body like it is seen?

Thanks, it'll be a lot better with the new wheels/tires. It swallows the 37's.
They aren't on the body.

Oh damn, doesn't seem as huge as my buddies 12"

Then again you're not on the x16s and 40s yet

04cr450 · Dec 14, 2016

Going to be huge with 40's.not a fan of high trucks but this one look perfect. Is the lift puck on the body mount? I only ask is looking for advice on lifting these trucks with 2 post's in a different spot other than on the radius arm pivot points
